I met my first goal, yay!

I'm 5' 9" and 42 years old (today! Happy birthday to me!)
I started using MFP on 12/31/11. My starting weight was 261.2.
Back at that time I set a random initial goal for myself to hit 214 by my birthday. (47 pounds in 22 weeks, so a little over 2 pounds a week, I figured that was achievable)

Ok, pics!...
In this one I'm higher than 261 (Yes, I look like a small planet), probably around 275-ish:



Here's a nice "belly shot" at 261, when I started on MFP:
(sorry for the dirty shorts, I guess I didn't really think I'd ever be showing these to anyone!)



Here's where I am at today, at 212.6:
(shorts are clean this time too, bonus!)



I still have a lot left to lose but I'm getting there.

I'm generally pretty private and don't post on the boards much, but I'm constantly checking out the success pics/stories for inspiration, so I thought it was only "fair" somehow to add my own :-)

Ok, now back to work!...
