Lost 100lbs in 6 months

Options
Hey everyone. I lost 100 pounds in 6 months. I was always that kid who got bullies through school because of his weight and took it very seriously.. I was always eating more than I should and never really thought about how I was eating till I was told by a doctor that I was obese at 17. When I turned 18 I got a full time job physically working and I was just in And out of breath the whole day. Not even knowing 6 months go by and people kept asking throughout those 6 months if I had lost any weight. I told them I don't think so I'm still the big kid that I was. Then it hit me when I went in for busting my shoulder that I weighed 179 pounds when I started so work at 289 pounds. I was so happy and shocked that I had this outcome. I have never felt any better and never been so happy with myself. Now I'm still trying to lose body fat and gain muscle so I can go to my high school reunion and people not remember me as the little chubby tellitubby. But as someone who would appeAr on Jersey shore. Hahaha thank you for accepting me for who I am and I give the best of luck to everyone!
