    How tall are you? Having seen a lot of 300+ bodies, your "before" image looks surprisingly fit for how much you weighed.

    I am 6'4. Most of my friends tried to tell me I was crazy when I said I weighed that much. But I remember it very clearly going to the doctor's office and seeing that number on the scale. I couldn't believe I had let myself get to that point.. It just happened out of nowhere. I hadn't weighed in a few months and over that span I had put on about 30 pounds. That was why my health was dropping so rapidly.

    Great job, you are now my inspiration. If I do everything correctly I have to lose the exact same amount of weight and my start weight was the same as yours. Now I feel it can be done and I look forward to similar results.

    Congratulations on hitting your goal weight! I know how incredible that feels and you must be very proud of yourself. Also, congratulations on your education and your engagement! I found that once my health got into a good space the rest of life followed suit.

    Congratulations, what an amazing achievement. That "before" photo is not you at 340? I imagine you were much bigger than that when you started?

    So love seeing these kinds of posts, it inspires me greatly. Well done. You look so fit and healthy and fantastic.

    Great Job- real inspiration for me.

    I'm aiming for about the same weight loss (although I don't have a specific target in mind), so seeing this is really good for me- thanks for sharing the photos and text.

    The before picture was at 320. I did not take a "before" picture because I did not think I would succeed at first. I was at a 46 to 48 pant width at that time. Now, I wear a 34. :D
