I've been overweight most of my life. I got to the point that I just figured that I was supposed to be overweight, and I let that thought allow me to quit caring to the point that I hit my highest weight 3 different times. I've lost weight before using a low carb diet, but eventually I would get angry at not losing more weight, and missing the foods that I love. I would quit and gain the weight back. This year my wife and I decided that we really needed to do something to change ouselves, and we decided that watching our calories would be best, and adding in some exercise. I began to do some research, and a friend of mine suggested that I check out MFP. Man I'm glad I called that guy. So I began this change in my life at 34 6'1" and 320 lbs. Fast forward 6 months later, I'm now 35, still 6'1" :happy: but now only 244.6 lbs. For those of you who are math challenged that's 75 lbs lost. I feel GREAT!!!. I don't even care that I look better, that's just an added bonus. I can't believe how much better I feel all the time. I'm excited to see what the next 6 months bring, and then into the future. I truely believe that this is something that I will be doing for the rest of my life. Hopefully a long and healthy one too. Thanks MFP, I couldn't do this without you.
Now for the pictures.
These first three were taken last summer.

    You look amazing!! Wow, what a transformation in 6 months. Good work!

    And it looks like your kids (assuming that's who those gorgeous kids are) are benefitting from the changes too! They look healthy and happy as well!

    Thanks for the inspiration. I always need a good dose of positive motivation on a Monday morning.
