      You look awesome! I completely related to your story, btw... especially about not leaving the house and missing out on life because of being overweight. It's a horrible feeling.

      You look absolutely amazing! I think your "after" pic suggests that you are healthy and fit at this weight - definitely not fat (per your perception of what others might think given the number). Remember that the number on the scale is not always the best representation of health or fitness. In this case, you look absolutely fabulous right where you are! Congratulations on your hard work!! It's very inspiring.

      Gorgeous and an amazing transformation. I agree with others your second pic is deceiving and it goes to show that you can't just go by the scale You look fantastic.

      You must be pretty tall, because you don't look heavy in the recent picture, you look fabulous, even though you say you're what, 198 now?
      And the change from the first picture is amazing.
      Doing all that as a high school kid? Wow. Just, wow. I certainly wasn't that strong. (Not convinced I am now, but I am stubborn, so I'll get there.)
      Good for you!

      What an amazing transformation! Massive respect for all the hard work you put in! And your stats (well, height/starting weight) are almost the same as mine, and my goal is similar to yours, so it's nice to see that it can be done :-D
