Just outside of Louisville Kentucky

I am starting tomorrow! Good luck :)

Awesome results. Great job!

You got this! I love the accountability you are showing :)

Awesome job. Posts like this are very encouraging!

I plan to re-form my band and attend the 2018 BlizzCon as a reward

The neck/collar on my tee-shirts are getting too big.

Amazing work man! An inspiration to us big dudes!

Awesome job!

Man, that is awesome! Congrats.

I just put on a tee shirt that I haven't been able to wear in over a year and a half, and it is actually bigger on me now than the day I bought it!

Your success is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

This thread is so full of WIN and Motivation. Thank you all so much for sharing. You all look amazing and are inspiring. I cannot wait until I am able to share my success!

You're looking fantastic brother. I also have been fighting obesity my whole life. Im a 6'8" dude. Back in 2011, I weighed 416 lbs. Over the next year and a half I got down to 265. Since then, a lot of stuff has went on in my personal life and I completely fell off the wagon. As of 1/1/17 I was back up to 408 lbs :( Since…

Congrats! You got this. I just got back on the wagon after 5 years off! Never too late I guess lol

I also make a Chicago stuffed pizza. What did you put in this? Im making one for my girl when she gets in town next week.

Thank you to the most recent posters. I feel so much better.

Thank you guys. I was in it to make a lifestyle change, so the smoking had to go as well. Once people said I couldnt do both, my mission was to prove them wrong!

In the last nine months I have lost 141 lbs, 12 pant sizes and 3 shirt sizes.

Kudos on the profile pic :) And thank you!

Compared to others, no, but you get the point.

All of the love and positivity from this thread is so amazing to me. You guys are awesome :)

All of these kind words are so motivational to me. All of you are an inspiration!

Count me in! Will weigh first thing in the morning.

I love the fact that your very first post was to tell me I was looking good! hahaha :) Thank you

Surprisingly, the cravings did not really exist too much. I think the walks did help tremendously. I think 50% of the addicition is just doing something, and the other 50% is the nicotine. I think another way to curb the cravings was holding myself accountable and being 100% brutally honest about my health.

Bumping for the weekend crowd in case anyone may get motivation or inspiration by my story :)

thanks again everyone :)

Life Wasted is a Pearl Jam song from their self titled album. Its about redifining your path in life and never looking back.

I listen to Life Wasted to begin any exercise that I may do. "I've faced it, a life wasted. I'm never going back again"
