So I started last year summer time, seriously since November '11. I've posted one of these before with some pictures of muscle development after doing strength training heavy. However recently I've had some serious NSVs and photos that really hit home how far I've come. I lost most the weight in the last 7 months.

I hope that this motivates you all who are struggling with the confidence that indeed dedication, patience and persistence will lead to your ideal. And as long as I keep having NSVs I'm going to keep posting these! I weight less now than at any point in my adult life today.

I started at roughly 240 lbs! I'm 5'8" and current weight is 181. My goal is 160 lbs.

Here are some pictures of me at the height of my weight.
