Hi everyone.

I thought I would share my "success" thus far. 50 lbs lost. 277 lbs down to 227 lbs.

I'm 27 years old, 6'2"

I put up a video of my progress here:

I'm doing it the old fashion way, eating right and a little exercise.

    Since I'm not sure if the video I posted is working or clickable, I just added a couple photos instead to the original post.

    Thanks all! Do try the video if you can!

    Wow, everyone, seriously, thank you! The comments are seriously making my day.

    I'm going to post more pics later and maybe a little more about myself and how I am doing it.


    Are you like me? Never think you can do it? Never think you can adapt? No energy? No motivation?

    All I can say is that if I can do it, I KNOW you can too.

    Just WANT it and you will ACHIEVE it.

    Although I imagine my words don't mean too much seeing as I am still fat! Just "less fat" lol

    You're doing a great job and you're looking great. I was so very excited when I went from the obese to the overweight category. I can't wait to be able to post some decent before and after pics... Seeing these pics like this is always such great inspiration.
