1 year, 30 lbs, Progress pictures

Options
So, I was going to wait until I reached my goal but I could sure use some extra motivation to lose the last 23 lbs until I reach my ultimate goal. I love this site and for some reason I find myself addicted to the "success stories" board. It's pretty much the only place I look.

So, this first picture is from last Christmas. It was a real slap in the face for me, and the second picture is from just after this past Christmas, wearing the same shirt.

I didn't get serious about eating healthy and exercising until September 2010 so I'm confident that I'll be able to succeed in my goals, but I'd love any of you to "friend" me as I can use all the encouragement I can get.

Again, thanks for all your inspiration!
