I have been on and off a diet for over ten years, but something changed August 2104, I got a bike, and more importantly got my mojo back . today I weighed in at 197lbs 14-1 , when I started I was 17-6. this is the lowest I have been for over 20 years ! k97kniag7lx7.jpg

Here is the picture that mortified me, and started me on my latest diet !

    Well done! I know that motivation from the "before" picture all too well!
    Good luck to you in achieving your remaining loss target.

    YUP for many of us all it takes is one moment, seeing a photo...especially since so many of us avoid being in photos because we know we ain't gonna like what we see! You are amazing and have done so well!!!

    Dude, congrats!

    I can't say a photo motivated me, as I avoid them as if they'd steal my soul (that makes me sound like Abe Simpson, don't it? ;) ).

    I'd say getting my first bike in over 20 years got me going as well. I have had a stationary for a long time, but a real bike gives a lot more freedom (coupled with some nice trails in NJ).

    Thank you so much folks, my wife found a picture of me from 2009 , and i am going to get her to take another one, sat in the same place, then I need to figure out how you can stitch 2 pictures together side by side, like people do on here, there must be a way :-)
