    This is painful... but needs to be done... starting pics...

    For the record, I am REALLY not comfortable posting these pics but understand I need to to motivate myself...

    <sigh>

    Here goes nothing...

    Trust me... dont let the slacker wookie-esque bloated look fool you... I clean up alot in 20 - 30 pounds... and it will happen...

    Well, enough of the rationalization BS... here is the pic...



    ****UPDATE****
    24lbs lost update...

    Don't we all!

    Good for you for posting the photos. You've made a lot of progress so far--don't let a little setback throw you off. Just think of how far you've come!! (By the way, a lot of us don't look as bad as we think we do--yourself included!) Good luck with the re-start!
    Re-start date: 7/15/06, Height: 5'10", Healthy Weight: 130-175
    194/194/175

    Goal: At least 45 minutes of cardio, 6 days per week
    Goal: At least 2 weightlifting sessions per week
    Goal: At least 75 ounces of water per day

        look forward to seeing those pics!!

        just so i can at least show what I WILL look like, here are 2 pics of me in better times and at a much lower weight of 212 about 2 years ago... I would post them in the thread but since they are not representative of my progress thus far, Ill just give links (sound fair?).

          Hello Erik! It isn't easy posting our not so slim pics. I know, I did the same to get me motivated. We all look better smaller and more toned up and we will succeed. Stay strong. You can do this. Looking forward to seeing pics down the line as you work on yourself.

                You are definitely on the road to success now, and with the help from the people on this board I dont think you can fail.

                Good luck.

                It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




                I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

                    Drat. You two make me wonder if I shouldn't be dropping back down to induction. Maybe I should, if at least for the stricter mind set. Want some company?

                    Erik, you still look great. You may clean up wonderfully with a bit of a loss, but I think part of it is the attitude that shows through on how you're feeling. Give us a smile soon.
