I am down 70 pounds as of today!! :bigsmile: I wasnt going to post pics until I hit my OFFICIAL midway point but I came across a picture on Facebook today that prompted me to go ahead and do it now! And..... tomorrows my birthday and Im feeling and looking better on this birthday than I have for probably the last five! So why the heck not! Im celebrating! okay so here we go....

This is the picture I came across today... OMG! This is from a party Christmas 2010. I weighed about 325 pounds. I remember waking up Christmas morning and being tagged in this picture on facebook and wanting to die of embarrassment.

This is a picture from my brothers wedding in late Oct 2010. Im also around 325 here. I saw this picture for the first time at Christmas dinner and decided enough was enough! I didnt even recognize myself in the pictures. I was so much bigger than I realized.

This is me today. As of about 15minute ago! @253!

    You look amazing. I know it's no consolation, but you carry your weight VERY well. I never would have guessed either of those numbers. Keep doing what you're doing..it's working!

    Hi! Congratulations! This is so incredibly encouraging! I have just logged on to this site for the first time & have 100+ lbs to lose. I was chosen as a finalist for the Biggest Loser casting but did not make it on the show & though I am thoroughly bummed, I am not going to let that be my excuse to stay unhealthy. I wanted to ask you what your plan of attack was for your amazing weight loss. Did you use any particular exercise plan or dietary guidelines? Thanks! You look great & more importantly, you must feel amazing!
