I quit smoking over 2 years ago. I gained 20lbs overnight (it seemed like it anyway) . The first two picture are from last summer. I was so discussed with the way I looked, I knew something had to be done. My journey....thus far

    That's a fantastic job!

    Your journey confirms something I have been suspecting... the exercise portion is so critical. I have lost 19 lbs and my transformation isn't nearly as noticeable.... I know I need to get back in the gym...you just proved that. Thanks for being a fantastic inspiration! Keep up the awesome work!

    Amazing! My favorite part is that you quit smoking and then dealt with the weight in a healthy weight after you crossed that hurdle!
