My journey started in late 2008. You can read about it here, if you're interested:

Here's what I looked like when it began:

And here is one that was taken today:

Goalday-032312-1.jpg

My starting weight was 385 pounds. Well, that's the highest 'official' weight that I had. I know that I gained more before I started to lose, but have no idea how much. I have lost 62.44% of my body mass and now weigh in at a healthy 144.6, with a BMI of 24.4. It took a very long time, but it is doable. I have my life back now.
