Half the person I was

So far I've lost 180 pounds. I started out at 360 pounds in July 2010. The before picture was taken in September 2009 at my little boys baby dedication at church. I hadn't reached 360 pounds at that point but I didn't "allow" many photos of me to be taken back then. The during picture was taken today. Sorry the quality of pictures from my phone isn't great. It's so weird to think that I was once twice the size that I am now, even though I still have a ways to go.

    Thanks everyone! I do exercise and I've really changed the way I eat. I've learned all about portion control thanks to MFP and I don't cook the way I used to. I don't fry anything anymore. It's either steamed, grilled, broiled, baked or broiled. Also, I only drink water. I haven't had anything with caffeine for almost 2 years now. If you want you can add me as a friend.
