A life changing event

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I thought I would share my weight loss story.
Basically, i've been overweight for the past 12 years, putting a few pounds every year. On March 18th of this year, I weighed 215 pounds, and decided enough is enough. The first thing i did was cut mayo, butter, ice cream, candy, cheese, and ALL fast food from my diet. The exercise was slow getting started, because it had been so long. So I started with 6 mile bike rides twice a week, and walk/jog 2 miles once a week. started weight training at about week three, continuing the strict diet. As I went along through the weeks I increased the cardio and weight training as my physical condition improved. Now i am currently riding 100 miles a week and weight training 4 days a week.
I am 36 years old, and I can't believe how I feel!!! I feel like I did when I was 20, seriously. Looking better isn't even half the reward, the real reward is how you feel, I wouln't give that up for anything at this point.
here are some progress pics taken through the weeks of my transformation.

You are the f**kin man! That's incredible progress for 12 weeks. I'm into my 5 month of heavy working out and eating right and have been growing a little tired of trying so hard but this post just woke me up. You're a madman, keep it up.
 
Rob, you look AMAZING!!!!!! Way to go on the loss so far!!! The only thing that I would change about those pics is having you SMILE!!! :D
 
Thanks!!:D I know, I need to work on my smile :( This place is awesome, been looking around for the past hour or so. having a place like this really helps.
 
just a side question.. did you shave or wax your chest? :D
 
No.... I cant shave or wax my chest because it will breakout badly. I do trim the hair down with clippers though.
 
Ah.. very nice job :D Btw.. can we please see you smiling in a picture?!?! I am sure you have a beautiful smile... and really should be smileing with that awesome body you reclaimed. I am sure you have a lovely smile :)
 
Ok, I decided to take a picture with my cat, she seemed to make my smile look better:)
 
You look like Sting when you smile. I can't get over your pics. You rule man. I need to come packin' some heat with my next set of pics to keep up with you.:D
