I haven't posted on the forums much at all......but I am pound of this so I thought I would share. Starting weight 293, current weight 218. Still a ways to go before I get to where I want to be, but I am proud of how far I have come.

The first three pictures were taken in 2021 and 2022, and the last picture was taken June 2023 when I was at 224 lbs.

(I apologize if the fish in the pictures offends anyone, I just don't have any pictures of myself that don't have fish or deer in them).
