A little backround about me...I started my weight loss journey on 1/3/11, I was 304.5 pounds. Changed my diet, and started doing light exercises. Worked up to Zumba (go ahead and giggle....it's alright :laugh: ) and JM 30- Day Shred. But I needed something more challenging. So I ended up receiving Insanity as a gift. I was afriad as hell to try it. I exercised, but this was a whole new level of exercise.
On March 28th, 2011 I began my 9 week journey, a journey I trully believed I could not finish. I was 249 pounds.

    Those are awesome stats, I am especially jealous of your skinny waist, still working on mine. Your fitness increase is terrific. Just goes to show how working out and being dedicated makes a big difference. And you are a much braver man than I, no pictures will be posted:) (only my sweetie gets to see those:)

    Ok...the shorts.....I bought those when I was doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...size 40 . I don't have the time for BJJ anymore (sadly, as I truly loved it) so I figured I'd get use of the shorts now! I am a size 34 now - you can't tell from the pictures, but they are now overly baggy. So they are going. But for picture purposes, I wanted the same clothes before/after.


    And the smile....I am smiling!!!!:smile: But I was dealing with teaching a 7 year old how to use my Digital SLR. So those were shots 14 and 15 maybe.....:laugh: I was trying not to get frustrated. I think in the end, he did a good job (I just stopped smiling...lol)

    Thanks for all the positive feedback! MFP is awesome!

    Thanks! Lots of hours of pain in the chair. Hopefully I finish my right sleeve this summer. At least that's the plan.
