Hello Everyone,

Wanted to share some pics with you all, since reading and looking at some of your stories has been an inspiration to me I wanted to do the same for others. I know I have a lot more to go and in some of these pictures it is really hard for me to see a difference, so let me know what you think. I know I have lost the weight because I went from 227 pounds to 180 pounds, from a tight size 18 to a size 12. I haven't really figured this sight out all that well so I will be posting a couple of post up here with the pics so you can see the difference, obviously these are the old pictures.
