Thank you all for the super kind comments. It has been a fun journey and has helped me to be a better dad for my daughter, and helped me to learn a lot about myself.

I wish everyone all the very best. If I can ever help anyone, please let me know. A lot of people have helped me and I really like the idea of paying it forward.

And here I sit, feeling down and unmodivated to lose my last 30ish lbs....and I see this. What a wuss I am. Sissy LaLa I tell ya!! YOU ARE THE MAN! I am going to channel your weight loss Ju Ju.

you are truly an inspiration!

Charles what was your method of losing? I am doing calorie counting and eating healthy foods. (New lifestyle change) I am happy with how I am doing it but always love hearing how others are successful!

I am using the same method. I put a link in my signature to a write up about my weight loss journey so far. I just try to eat a good balanced diet, count my calories and I also do resistance training 3 days per week. I workout a total of 6 hours per week a combination of 3 hours resistance training and the rest cardio.

I wish you the very best!

Your pics are truly inspiring and very motivational. You look terrific!! Thanks for sharing!! :)

Congratulations, your daughter must just love to give you lots of hugs now! A friend of mine had a waist of 58 inches, he lost 20 inches from his waist, and all his eight year old daughter could say was "I can get my arms round Daddy's tummy now!" :D
