I'm going to post this, just because I want to have a touchstone to show where I began. Oh, this first photo is when I hit the scales at 282 lbs, in 2007.

Where I am now (a couple of weeks ago) - at about 255 lbs:

Yeah, I'll get some photos of me in less clothing to track with. But, I have these now...

Oh, and this is 5 minutes ago, at 251.6 lbs:

    Thank you. I posted the poundage on the OP now, too. Just for documentation purposes.

    I'm a whole lot happier now, too! :happy:

    Oh, and when I get thin enough to get back into my leather lace up vest for Ren Faire, I'll post that, too! :drinker:
