I just found this random photo of myself from when I was at my peak weight, 325 lbs.

This picture was taken 2 weeks ago at 2 friends' wedding.

I may push forward for a little bit yet and see if I can get down to 160, but what I really need to do now is start focusing on conditioning and lowering my body fat %. I have an appointment to get a body composition test done friday. It's been one hell of a ride. Thank you all for your support.

    wow, great job. What an inspiration. According to your picture, I wouldn't push down to 160, you look great at 180. Don't want to loose too much...:smile:

    Thank you for posting that.

    I see that you joined in April of 08 and have been working on this for about two and a half years now.

    That is so encouraging.

    I am a month into this process and have about 3 years ahead of me until I reach my goal. My heaviest was 384, I started a month ago at 370). So it is nice to see someone who has stuck with it and is still going after all this time.

    What are some things that helped you along the way? What worked, what didn't? What rewards did you give yourself and when? and most importantly, how did you handle the weeks when you lose? How did you keep it up for so long?

    Congratulations on your progress. You are a great example for all of us.
