So because I hated taking pictures of myself when I was "big" I don't have any. Except this one my friend took. He showed me and I was like wow. Anyways I want to see if you guys can see a difference, sorry It's not a full body shot but you can see I was big.

The pictures above are me now at 195lbs. But I am not done yet, I still got to lose 50ish more lbs :(. Also It hasn't been a year. I started losing weight in October 15 of 2008. So going from 320 to 195 in a short period seems fast, but it was done with eating healthy and exercise. Hope I can manage to finish it off! it gets tough sometimes.
 
Huge difference. You look very handsome!

Yes it gets sooo hard and so does the changes that happen with your body and your head. For me I have multiple before pics around my house and even carry one with me. Seeing them reinforces I do have to do those sets of weights, I do have to go running today, I do not want to eat that cake etc.

Have you caught up yet in your head that you have changed? Like wearing clothes that fit and marveling you are a size Medium or Large instead of a size with multiple X's in front of it? Or getting positive attention for the way you look? I know I am still getting to that too. I am also a bit shy so the new attention can be hard to take.

Haha well I do know that I used to wear 3xl shirts, and they started to be to small. But now I wear L size shirts. Yet it does seem to fast and feels weird getting comments on how I look, since most of my life I was called big boy or fat boy :/
 
I totally know what you mean. I'm down 87lbs from Feb 1, 2009 and it is still making my head spin all the changes inside and out. It feels quick but know you are getting results like this because you have put the effort and time into forming new habits and healthy lifestyle. You DESERVE the postive attention and feeling good.

I know a few people have been a bit snotty to me comments like "IT'S SO UNFAIR YOU ARE LOOSING SO QUICKLY WAAWAA I BET YOU STARVE YOURSELF/TAKE MAGIC PILLS/HAVE GOOD GENES (place your favorite it is anything but self control and will power here)!!!" Of course they say this as they are shoveling cake into their mouth and then wonder why they are not meeting their goals.

Just take each day like you have and you will loose that last bit. Even if you stall for a week or two which can happen now do not give up. It can be hard after making awesome progress to stall for a bit but it will come off once your body finishes figuring out oh hey yeah there is still more fat here I can get rid of. I know I have 45 left to go and I am hoping to reach it by Dec this year so I can turn 30 looking smokin :D

Also just smile and say Thank you that is what I am learning to do when people comment I look pretty now and know THEY MEAN IT.
