Down 50+ lbs

I started my journey around 2.5 years ago when I clocked in at around 238 lbs. I'm down to around 185 lbs now. Looking at some rare pictures from 2006 I think I must have been well over 240 lbs - I was too scared to jump on the scale those days.
I was buying 38" jeans for a while but now 34" is loose. Used to buy XL shirts. Now I wear Ms, and a couple weeks ago I bought my first S!!
I ran my first 10km last month and signed up for Tough Mudder next year! I am a finalist for Member of The Year at my local fitness boot camp (I go 3 times a week).
I can't figure out how to add pictures to this forum post or else I would.
If you believe you can or you can't, you're right.

You have such a nice face - just saying. Good work0

Currently at 20% body fat... Since I accomplished the "losing 50 lbs" goal, my new target is 15% body fat and not necessarily just losing more pounds.0

Thanks... not sure I agree but I do that (looking back) the old face is nasty! Don't want to go back.0 -
This is awesome!! You are right to be proud. Keep up the good work :drinker:0
