  • Met my goal! 159 lbs

    Well, i met my goal of 160 lbs with 159 yesterday. it took me a little under six months. to be honest i wasnt even trying the last 3 weeks. my new dietary lifestyle kept going long after i would give it much of a though. i thought that i would be stuck at 164 and i was quite happy but i stepped on the scale and saw 159, as usual i stepped back and stepped back on again. sure enough 159.

    ill post some recent pics soon. now im going to out shopping for new clothes to celebrate (this is a guy talking mind you)

    i had been trying to lose weight since i was 14 years old. for a brief time i was in great shape but it was because i was in the army. now as a civilian and with no other obligations than my own, i have managed to eradicate what has held me back for so many years.

    there is a HUGE(literally) difference in the way i feel about myself and how my body handles food now.

    when it came to dating, as a fat guy, my image was tarnished. being rejected by women due to my obesity hurt. now as a thinner person and with an increased self esteem, i could care less if they didnt like me.

          You look great, and just so you know you looked hot as a chubby guy, and you still look hot as a skinny guy. You're still the same person big or small and I'm really proud of your success. You are one of the people that keeps me motivated.

                              Amazing, let me say it again, Amazing transformation. You truly look great. I am so glad to hear about your confidence. That is what I think I most look forward to. Well, and the clothes of course. Hope your days ahead are just as wonderful as the day you stepped up to see the 159 flashing in your face. Looking forward to a whole slide show with your new clothes. Go crazy and have fun.
