The first two pictures are from last year. In January of this year, I weighed 359 pounds.
The last three are from today, at 278 pounds, 81 less than I weighed before.
I've still got a long ways to go, but I'm definitely getting there! Thank you to everyone here who has and continues to encourage me.
All comments are welcome and appreciated.

Nick, fantastic! You are looking good!!! Nice smile there too. 
I just told my husband about you. Maybe he'll get inspired. He's currently in the 350's and has resumed working out several days per week but hasn't made a lot of traction just yet. I sure will be happy when he loses 81 pounds!

Great job! You look so much better.
The best part about this section of the forum, is whenever you get down on yourself. You can come to your post, see your accomplishments and move forward. I was doing just that when I came across yours.
I hope you continue on and I am looking forward to seeing more pics in the future.

Thanks, guys and gals! Your comments mean a lot.
I might take some new pics in August and post them here.
Regardless, my weight loss journey is over halfway over! Onward, downward, and forward!

Howdy Nick,
Back in the late 70's I was probably up in the 270-280 range.. I had something like a 46-48" waist. I was running myself literally to death. One day I woke up and said thats it... threw everything in my abode in the trash that was edible, and just changed my diet and started running as hard and as far as I could. Kept it up for a long time.. but, literally within a couple months I had lost most of my bulk. I was reducing at a rate of almost a pound a day... I continued until getting down to a 28" waist and maybe 150#. Ever since then, this has been a struggle. Lifelong. Main thing now, I pay attention to when I see the bad eating patterns start up again and get back into a maintenence mode as quickly as possible. It's real easy to get out of the good habits... especially around holidays or when things are going rough... imagine that... We all know when/why we're doing it but, we do it anyways...
You're fighting a great fight and I can see you're diggin the heck out of it. Keep up the great work! It's working well for you. Thx for your tips and advice to me as well.
How are you doing today? I'd enjoy your update.

Hey, BT!
My last official weigh-in was 252 pounds, so I'm still making good progress.
My measurements have went down everywhere, but not as much in my gut. My waistline is still between 48-50", whereas my hips are almost down to the bone at 41.5".
It's funny, though, when I put on a size 42" jeans on my waist, I let my gut out fully, and it's not really tight. I have to wear a belt when I go out or they will fall down. I tried on a 38" yesterday and they fit pretty well.
Wow...a 28 inch waist. That doesn't even sound attainable for me, because I was over 300 pounds for almost 10 years straight. I'm not expecting to have a flat stomach, either, but that's OK, because I don't plan to have anybody to impress.
Good luck to you too, BT!

| I think the gut is the hardest place to lose it. Seems like it the last place to go. I still have mine, but I will get rid of it. I just try like crazy everyday to work on it and get the last bit to go away.
