  • I thought I would share a current picture. I hit my goal weight in November of 2006. My starting weight was 562.3 My lowest weight was 210. I have been at 225 for the last year. I am trying to get that 15 pounds back off.
    Here is my current picture as of this morning before work.



    I wish everyone the very best!

    Here are a few before pictures...
