Progress so far. (with pics)

Options
I wanted to put up a couple of "during" photos. I still have a good 20-30 lbs left but I wanted to share my results.
first for the pictures. here is my before picture. I cant honestly say I know my exact weight, but definitely north of 265.

here is my "during" picture at 229.

Stats.
in the before pic I was wearing size 49 pants. I am currently in 38's comfortable and can fit in my 36's.
Before, would get winded walking to the street to get my mail from the mailbox.
During, my current resting heart rate is 53, and I am putting in 4 intense workouts a week (90 minutes each) on a normal week.

As I said, I still have a long way to go. I think my goal weight will be around 200ish. I am not certain, as I want to go by how I feel and how I look instead of a static number. I am putting on muscle weight, so my goal weight will probably be a body fat percentage goal. I am feeling great, and I cant tell you how easy this has been with the support of my amazing (and scalding hot) wife.
Mike

    Oh, and yes, that is the same shirt. the pants dont fit anymore and are in the pile of stuff for goodwill.
    I tried to mimic the pose for the comparison shots.

    Very well done. I'm hoping to someday get back to the weight I never wanted to be.

    (Applaud) Great job. You look so much younger. That is quite an achievment and I am so happy for you. Keep up the hard but rewarding work, it is definitely showing. I really see it in the thinner face and neck.
