    A few new shots. The first 2 are the body at 175. Wearing shorts, hope no one is offended. Other 2 shots are wearing 5xl shirts in both pictures.

    ...I had been told from a young child I was 'big boned' and the way God made me. Wrong, I am not big boned and I'm the way I made me. My choices brought me to 511 lbs and now my choices brought me to 175.
    So needed this today!! Thank you for sharing your journey...truly inspirational!

    You are an absolute inspiration to me. I need to lose 100 pounds, serious health issues, and I am still having trouble getting motivated. What did you do?
