NSV - XXL to Large shirt!
The scale has been spinning its wheels. I haven't gained any despite a 3 week cross-country car trip with (both) Mom's home cooking, but I needed to show myself that the scale is just a number.

New guy walking!
I've been looking for a site like this for a while, and up until now I haven't stuck with any I've found thus far. MFP looks easy, comprehensive, and compelling. I found it thanks to my friend Keith, who had linked progress on Facebook. About me: I'm 41 years old, I've been big my entire life. I peaked at 277 pounds back…
