I'll be the first to tell you that I still have a ways to go, but this is me somewhere in between on my journey to fitness. I'll be posting more vacation pics in my diary since my new printer is also a scanner.
 
WOW!!!! Great work man!

Hey have a question for you though.. 90lbs in a year fo someone your size is not really as rapid as a lot of other people, so how is the skin? You notice that there is a lot of losse skin so far or are you tightening up? I know a guy that lost like 200lbs in about 8 months (after gastric surg) and has to have surgery to remove the skin (once he's done).
 
Thanks again for the great comments. About the speed I'm progressing--there are 2 things going on. First my percentage of body fat isn't as high as one would think for somebody my size. Its in the upper 30s right now. Because of that I don't have as much of a skin issue. However, I'm specifically going slow. One time before in my life I lost a lot of weight and I got under 240. That's actually below my current goal. I did it in an unhealthy way though and I rubber banded back and then some. I also know that that first picture isn't my top size. I started at a size 64 pants a few years ago and lost weight down to a size 60 which is where I started this process from. I lost somewhere between 40-80 pounds without regaining it. I just didn't have a scale that could measure how big I once was. I have also made exercise a part of my routine. I wonder if that will help counteract that skin problem.
 
Great job! Stellar work so far, mate! Keep it up! The difference is very, very noticeable!

Cheers and best wishes on your journey,
