Progress Report - Half-way to goal

I started this journey on January 2 - that was the day I had my last physical and I had to get on the scale as part of the check-up...
I was the heaviest I have ever been - 270lbs - yikes!!

This was in early January at my wife's company Christmas party (that's my better half in the pic with me):


This week, I went over 45 lbs lost (better than half-way to my goal of 90 lbs), so here are progress pics:

For perspective - this is the same shirt as the Christmas picture (the one that looks like it's straining at the seams):


Yes - I did have to use my hand to hold it out to show how big the shirt actually is... :happy:
