50 lbs down- half way there w/pics

Wow - seeing pics like these are all the motivation I need to get my butt into action! Awesome job!! I am in my first week!!

Great job you look great

Great job!

You look awesome! It saddens me to see you and others use the word "shame" to describe your feelings about yourself pre-weight loss or pre-"good enough" weight loss. You're valuable people regardless!!

Unfortunately it is the way many obese people feel about their bodies. I am one of them. We see the looks that some people give and hear the whispers and see the thin bodies represented in advertisements. We get it and some of us cannot help how we look or weigh due to medical issues and because of the way that we are treated some of us do feel ashamed. My Husband is one of them. He is a large guy (and is working with me to lose weight) but he does have a large chest and is embarrased to take his shirt off in front of people. which is part of why we downgraded our gym membership to be for 1 location only and without a pool because he wont get in it if he has to take his shirt off. it makes me sad because he is the sweetest, kindest, most thoughtful man and he is judged by his looks and not is personality.

This is an outstanding Job! Great going!!! WTG times TEN!!!!

Congrats on that 50 lbs. lost! I know you've worked hard to achieve it and it really shows! You look great! Keep it up..... you're an inspiration to us all! :happy:

Great job bro I just hit the 50 lbs loss plateau myself lets keep it going
