Well I started my weight loss journey in January 2010 and weighed in at 249. Totally shocked... I knew I was getting big but I didn't know I was that big.

The first picture is from Xmas 09.

The second is from this summer when I discovered MFP, my weight is 227.

My goal is another 170 by August, only 32 pounds but I have a lot of time to do it.

To all of you thank you for your support, it is much appreciated, I read your stories and I see your success and it motivates me everyday.

God bless,

Len

    Good job!!!
    Also noticed the Diavik vest :) I'm from Yellowknife! Living in Fort McMurray now but good to see a fellow northern!
    Headed to YK for the Christmas season and I intend to stay on the "wagon" so to speak and go to the gym and make healthier choices. So it's good to see someone from the north that was able to do it up there :)
    thanks for the inspiration and sharing your success :smile:
