I don't normally brag on myself but I am proud today. Several months ago I decided to loose a lot of weight. I have lost about 50 lbs and about 8 inches at my waist. Who knew this diet and exercise shit actually worked?

This was on 4-29-10 It was taken a few weeks after I decided to do something about it. I wish I had from from the beginning of year for a better "before" shot. I was about 310 lbs. here, and 325 or so when I started.

This one is 5-20-10 I HATE this picture. It was very motivational though. Around 295 lbs.

This is 7-14-10 I wasn't planning on doing this so I didn't always get a body shot but you can see major changes in my face here. About 280 lbs. then.

This is today 10-2-10 I didn't quite get the body shot angle I wanted but I like this pic.

And then I finally took the myspace mirror pic to get a good body shot. My weight has stayed level at 280ish for the last two months but my body shape has changed a lot. I had to drill a new hole in my belt the other morning.

Haha, I never considered myself vain. I guess this thread does suggest otherwise though. Honestly, I only look in the mirror when I shave. And, thank you all the same.

I have been lurking a little but have been so busy at work lately. I have put in 130 some hours in the last two weeks.

What are cheesys?

I may embrace vanity later, I still have a ways to go. I am about to ramp up my exercise and get stricter with myself. I want to see how much I can change in one year. I am very happy so far.

And thanks again. You two are great.

That is soooo AWESOME LibraSid!!! You should be ultra proud of yourself and brag away! I bet you feel so much better and it just gives you an overall fabulous feeling!

I have lost two pant sizes in the last few mos as well b/c of evercise and eating even healthier. (I have been a vegetarian for 2 1/2 yrs but I still ate junk food too often). I love working out now and I feel such vitality and health. My confidence is up and I am loving it!!! I found that it's the exercise that really makes the difference!

Yay to weight loss and good health! Keep up the good work LS and I am cheering you on! 😄
