Some pics

A couple of people asked for more pictures, so here we go!














This is about the biggest I ever got. Those are my size 26 jeans, and my XXL hoodie that barely covered me. It was about a year later that I started trying to lose weight.






















I remember when this was being taken. I tried to stand sideways in an effort to appear thinner. Worked really well, eh? This is the final picture I have of myself when I was obese. I never allowed myself to be photographed after I saw this.






















On my way down on the scale, and feeling better about being in front of the camera. I was maybe 200 lbs. in this picture.















Here I am at 185 lbs. Feeling great!
















Angie and I ringing in 2008. We drank our champagne by 6:30 p.m. and passed out at 9. Clearly, we're the life of the party.






















161 lbs! This was taken before a 5K race. See how happy I look? After the race was over...not so much. I totally wore myself out and thought I was going to faint after I crossed the finish line. However, I beat my previous 5K time, so who cares about a little wooziness?
















At the St. Louis Zoo. I'm the one in the foreground.

Lookin' happy! And awesome job on your 16 miler! I'm working my way back up to get on track with the miles. Hopefully I don't die on Oct. 18.

Thanks for posting those; love before/during/after shots! Reminds me that I need to take some durings, even if the thought makes me cringe.

In particular I noticed the open hoodie in the first picture, as opposed to the fully buttoned, loose jean jacket in the last picture. Must feel pretty darn good.
