So then, I'm going to keep my story short and get to the pictures.

I've been obese since the age of 5.

I tried over 32 diets.

At 18 to 19 I went from 280 to 347 while starting a regimen of jogging two miles a day, giving up meat, fast food, and soda. My joints were wrecked for a long time from all the jogging and poor body movement. But I became determined to lose the weight. I started off researching dozens of tricks and techniques that would let me lose weight without exercise, because I needed to weigh less to start putting weight on my joints.

Then after dropping 80 pounds and keeping it off for three years, fluctuating up and down between 10 pounds, I decided it was time to finally shape my body, and take control. I started at the gym, but, didn't find the balance that I wanted there, and then went to home workouts--that's where i've always had my success, doing it by myself so I could control my pace and not have to wait around for people.

On December 27th, I started documenting my journey at 274 pounds--there are no pictures of me at 347 pounds, except, this one:

And Even This I was about 315/320

Now, interesting fact, the weight, clearly, isn't hugely off here, and I was getting a bit discouraged. But, I trusted in the process, I was seeing movement in the scale (big movement), so, I trusted that my body would catch up.

March 26th MY BODY CAUGHT UP

I Was 13 when I last saw the one hundred.
And Today

This is only the beginning, I plan to push harder, faster, more and more, until my body reaches its fullest expression. Each day, I plan to live my life at my max potential, and push my body to it's max potential, whatever that may be.

This has been my journey!

    Thanks for sharing this. You are an awesome inspiration, especially to those of us who carried a lot of extra weight for ages and have loose skin. I'm older but I know mine has had several stages of tightening up aka "catching up" as I've gone down 128 lb and this helps to see others do the same (although you look great)!

    Congrats!
