  • 18 Months of falling on and off the wagon still show results

    My daughter got christened last week and I happend to take a very similar picture to one from my son's christening 18 months ago. As everyone knows I have slipped, tripped, fallen off, strayed more times than I can count. But I have always come back and I have never resigned myself to failure. If I hadn't strayed from the true course I would probably be at goal now, but I am halfway there.

    As big as I still am, and have so much further to go. These pics show truly how far I have come. I think it's the same shirt but a different suit, my wife wouldn't let me wear the other one, it looked ridiculously big.

    Yes I'm eating a smore in the picture, how do you think I got so fat?

    oh look at your cutie pies and your adorable wife. Good fro her making you get a new suit coat. Your facer looks thinner to and your fingers don't look as pudgey.

      I can definitely tell, Jim! Your face is so much slimmer. Great job, and you have such a lovely family, bro.

        I agree you can definitely see the differences in the chest and of course the face. Keep up the path to goal, and you'll have to change the whole wardrobe again. Don't you just love clothes shopping? (not me...)

          Actually the suit in the second picture is the suit I wore to the wedding at which I met my wife. Just over (and I mean just over) ten years ago.

            Wow, I can't wait to get into clothes that I could wear ten years ago. Keep up the great work.

                    jim! i just found this!
                    loking good man!

                    you know some people breeze through this without any problems at all. most hit a stall here and there. then's theres folks that
                    have slipped, tripped, fallen off, strayed more times than
                    they can count. it's all okay. are we just being examples for each other? a newbie can look and see, "yes i did all those things too and if jroche can dust himself off and do this, then so can i!" keep on it, man! you will get there!
