Well, a lot has happened in the last year...including me getting laid off and having to join a cheaper gym that doesn't have as many free weights, but I've managed to finally get out of the 230's, and weigh around 225. It's been hard because I've been dealing with depression on one end, and social l...

Thanks Boss Man! I went to Easter dinner with some relatives and family friends who haven't seen me in a number of months and they kept telling me I was looking great. Sometimes, it takes folks who haven't seen me in awhile to remind me in order for me to keep from being in a total vacuum, if that m...

Thanks guys. I still have some work to do, but I can fit in 38-inch pants and shorts for the first time since high school, and I'm in 230's. Just 50 more pounds to go! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7119/7031031279_584b59dffd_z.jpg I've been going through some personal crap lately, haven't had a reas...

You look fantastic in the latest pictures that you posted!! :D It is now 2012 and you haven't posted any pictures in a while, I hope you are still doing well and are at your goal and beyond!! I have been where you were, almost 300 lbs for me, and now run at around 190 - 200. It is tough but you hav...

Here are some recent photos of me. I've been working hard all summer but haven't lost as much as I've wanted too. I've been moreso in maintenance mode, but I am in the 230's now. I have discovered a few supplements such as Gymnema Sylvestre to help me cut down on sugar cravings and I'm trying not to...

Be proud of yourself man, that's some seriously good change :). What's your current weight by the way or don't you know? Keep up the hard work, because you're fast becoming a rolemodel to others, that think it's too late in the day to get started and you've made a bold and positive statement about ...

great job. this is impressive! Thanks! Here are a few more photos I dug up. Fall 2007, looking like I'm ready to devour the entire cake, SMH: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5054/5531650085_d442e5998b.jpg Here is a pic I took of myself last weekend: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5298/5532203180_29c...

Hi people...Quick update here...I'm about 5 lbs or so from losing 100 lbs in the last two years. I started in March 2009 and I haven't looked back.

In February 2009, I tipped the scales at 350 pounds. Something came over me and I decided to do what I could to loose the weight. Over a year later, plus or minus a few setbacks, I have managed to loose about 85 pounds. Now I'm in the 260's, on the verge of getting lower than that. I have what is kn...

Thank you for that Boss Man. Usually, I do eat a post-workout dinner, usually a salad from a salad bar or Chipotle, so I can keep veggie/legume/meat combination. I found some dried salted peas at the Farmer's Market today. They don't have the rice flour like the wasabi peas did, BUT they do have Pal...

Hi people. I've been mainly lurking in these forums, but I do find the information here to be informative and useful, so I wanted to know what you all thought of diet/lifestyle change that I've adopted and what has helped me, and what ideas you may have that I can utilize. After years of struggling ...

Sorry for the lack of updates folks. It's been a weird year so far. Essentially, I've been gaining and losing the same 15 lbs for the last few months. I've been dealing with attempting to finish grad school plus I had a death in the family that threw me off quite a bit. I'm back on the healthy eatin...

Thank you all so much for your responses! I feel really encouraged. This has been one of the most challenging things that I've done, and yet it's one of the most fulfilling. It's pretty cool that I'm beginning to fit in smaller clothes and people are noticing...
