Under 200lbs finally (warning hairy guy pics)

Male/34/5'10

I started out at 330lbs before finding MFP. Started out really well and got down to 284, but then kind of fell off the wagon for a bit and stopped tracking my food and weight. I actually didn't gain weight back, but the summer of last year I decided to fully commit to this and haven't missed a day since.

My original goal when I started was 200lbs, never thinking I would ever get there. This morning I actually did.

I still have a ways to go, I'm thinking I want to get down to 170 and see where I want to go from there, likely incorporating more strength training and working to build up muscle.

Couple of pics, left is last summer at 284, the right is this morning:

    Great job.

    Also you don't look particularly hairy to me. I think we get conditioned to seeing male models shaved all over the place & lose perspective. I prefer the natural look.
