As promised my before and after pic. The one with me and the Coke bear was at last years Comdex, So that would be just about a year ago. The other two are just me now. Believe it or not those jeans I'm wearing are the same pair I'm wearing in the before shot.

Yes.. *lol* There are 4 people working here and we go through 10 bottles a week. Mostly by me. hehehe. The Coke machine use to be my best friend but now it just seems to collect dust.

Thanks for all the kind words. I am now 215.5 lbs now. Not sure if I can go any lower but will try. Love handles are gone now.

Dave

Wow, you must be sitting on cloud nine and I hope you are feeling smug--you certainly deserve to.

I know you are feeling healthier and about a zillion times more energetic since you dropped the weight. WTG WTG WTG

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. It has been a really funny for me lately. I cheated a few times and miss one workout and still lost weight. Also, lost 6 lbs this week alone. Don't know what is happening to me but I shouldn't be complaining. Since I posted those pics I have lost another 11 lbs. Didn't think I had anymore to lose but it came off. I am now 17% body fat and have no visible budge anywhere.

Only problem I am having now is my friends are telling me I am too skinny. They think I'm obsess with weight loss now and I don't know when to stop. I will post some pics and you people can tell me if I need to lose more weight.

Thanks

Dave

Dave, it's about what you're comfortable with; and what your body will permit. You're eating, you're working out and you're still losing weight. Don't sweat it (pun intended ) It's not about 'skinny' or 'fat' it's about healthy. When your body decides that X% of body fat is where it wants to be, you'll know.

To your leaness!
Nat
