    Just read this thread. Really impressive work. It's amazing what a person can do with the right mindset.

    One question - you are riding a stationary bike indoors right now, right? Have you considered getting a proper bike and cycling outdoors at some point?

    Congrats on your progress! I am down 52 lbs since mid-Feb and under 300 for the first time in probably 5 years. Eating 1,700-1,850 a day and walking 20+ miles a week. Will follow your journey.

    Thanks for all the kind words again...Keep forgetting to update on mondays but still going strong. Was at 224.2 this past monday. Getting closer to the 215 goal that my doctor wants me at.

    A quick updated photo of myself in honor of the Pens game tonight...

    Also here is a small comparison of where I started to where I am at now...

    were you at your heaviest in this first pic? It really doesn't look like I imagine 388 (almost 28 stones), if it was then you wore it well!

    It was pretty close, there are worse pictures of me when I was that large haha. I'm sure I could find a worse one, but I was probably pretty close to my heaviest there.
