Ah yes - in the before pics, I was pretty much addicted to World of Warcraft and beer. Often together. What a waste.

What made you sure of my outcome when I started posting?

Very nice Ruggie!!!

I am at 230 and started at 460, so I am exactly 1/2 the man I used to be as well.
Kind of freaky to think about (when you think about it).
I still have 10 lbs to lose until goal, but my PCP says 220 is perfect for me. I am 6'3 and "big-boned" as they used to say. I also wear size 15 shoes, so they have to weigh in at 20 pounds...
I'll never see Onderland, but I feel good now.

Again, way to go and CONGRATS!

Half of something good never seems enough but there are exceptions. Congrats on your great success.
