Updated progress, about halfway there. pics

I wasn't really planning on doing this again just yet but one of my MFP friends just did his and I figured why not. I could probably use a little positive feedback and I hope that these pics could help motivate others. I've said it before and many others have also said it, but you really sometimes don't see a difference until you look at some side by side pics.

So far, I have lost a total of 54 pounds. I have more energy and my motivation has not faltered once. I believe that my success thus far has simply pushed me to continue. I definately could not have made it this far without the support of my friends here. I am also a pretty competitive person and push myself to keep up with some of these other folks here who are going through some simply amazing changes with their bodies. They motivate and inspire me. They know who they are.

I am about 1/2 way to my goal and know I will reach it. I just wish I could get rid of some the weight around my face and neck a bit faster.

This first pic is in August of 2010 at about 317 lbs.
