Ok..so I finally had the guts to do it..

Dude, you're rockin' the hell outta that sleeve!

I'm proud of you for posting your pictures.  Keep up the good work.

 Holy moly! Awesome! Congrats!

Seriously??!! Wow! Go you! That is amazing in 4 months! You look great!

 Thank you EVERYONE who commented. I appreciate it :)

I'm super late to the game here (just coming back after not being online for a week after surgery), but congratulations! The difference is amazing!

 Thank you!  How are you feeling??

Feeling great, doing fine. I came back to work a week after my surgery, and everything is going good. I'm wearing jeans from 3 years ago today (a skinnier phase) and they're too big!

    Hey bro....late to the party too!  I hate that some of these post get buried so quick....if you don't go back several pages you never see them! 
     Anyway....I already told ya how great ya look and what a kick ass job you are doin the other day.   I did want to say....From one "super big boy"  to another....Don't be ashamed of "who you were"  This was a "reality" for many of us!  It is a great motivator ....to keep you from getting there again!  "If we forget/deny our past/history.....we are doomed to repeat it!"  and all that **** KWIM?  
     You have made a big commitment to CHANGE your life....be proud of that!   This is THE place to feel safe posting this kinda stuff.....we ALL get it...ya know?  Hey I carry a pic of my befores on my key-chain.....show it to people all the time.  A picture IS worth a thousand words!  I NEVER want to forget...."that man"  I WAS......keeps me motivated.....I hope you will feel the same one day soon.....I'm proud of you man.

 Really appreciate that brother. Really. And you're right. 

Ditto what Jim says and its oh so true.  The folks we were did the best they could with what they had.

We know different now, we have a different tool in our belt, and when we realize we can do amazing stuff, WE CAN!  :}
