    The halfway comparison - Nearly 60Lb lost!

    Alright. Since my goals now are to build muscle and lose fat (get shredded), I have to become comfortable with my body. So, I'm posting these pictures of me showing a side comparison, then and now.

    In the first picture I'm 283lb, before starting Atkins. By the time I decided to actually start Atkins, I was weighed in at 281lb. Even still, I looked the same.

    In the second picture I'm weighing in at 223lb.

    Can you see a difference?

                    Posting my pictures here and subsequently receiving such positive comments has only boosted my confidence & motivation. Thank you all for your kind words. It has been a battle all of my life trying to control my weight. It wasn't until posting these pictures side by side that I realized how big I actually used to be.

                    I've made a vow not to let myself get out of control again. That was just ridiculous looking back on it.

                    I just returned from the gym tonight and I must say how rewarding being "fit" has become. Never in a million years did I have think I would say "what an awesome workout."

                    It's surreal.
