Another "Goal" reached

When I started losing weight I knew that on Oct. 31 I wanted to dres either like Superman, or Spiderman... That was kind of a goal of mine... 

I decided on Superman, and started growing out my hair (see before and after pics) while losing the weight.  Last night, freshly shaven (Rarely ever do that... my wife loved the beard!) and hair dyed for the first time... I was Superman!!!

I posted a pic from the night as my default...

Hahaha! Awesome! :)

Very cool

Yes, I like the Superman better.  Wow, the pics are great.  How much weight did you lose & how long did it take?  Congrats.  You look great & healthy.  I'm sure your wife is very proud of you also.

Thanks boombabies,

I've lost about 33 lbs and I'm on wk 20.   I started June 19, I believe.  I'm not at the end of my Journey, but the light at the end can be seen.... then I'll have to start posting on the muscle building forum...ha!!!

Hehe nice costume!

You look great in that picture :)

Thanks amoria!  Speaking of looking great in pictures, I just checked out your pics, and you look great in them too. (As one lady said to me in another post, I'm not coming on, I'm a happily married man...not that I think you would think I was coming on to you).  From 180 to 122 is amazing!!! Congrats!

Thank you so much!
I am also in an happy relationship with my boyfriend for 8 years now, so no worries there :P

Whew!...LoL

Oddly enough, my wife is named Melissa also...haha!

Congratulations... you are doing a SUPER job!

hee hee hee

 

=^..^= MOLLY

Wow, I LOVE your photo collage of your progress!  What a great idea, and it totally shows how committed you were at the start to set yourself up for that collage.  Congrats on your terrific success!! 

Great before and after pics, and the costume too...I think you look better without the facial hair actually (but I understand your wife, my dad looks sooo weird to me when he shaves his face lol).

Wow - you seriously look like Clark Kent/Superman!  What a great pic and big congrats.  I love the idea of S shirt under the clark kent suit - very creative, have never seen that before.  Nice set of before and after too - you must feel great!

Thanks guys!

Molly: Nice Pun...LoL

andesite:  thanks!  I wanted to have as close an angle and everything I could to get some good reference pics... it'd be neat if I could take all the pics I have and make them into one of those shrinking things like on Celebrity Fit Club...ha!

vicereine:  Thanks, actually, last night my wife actually said she was liking the new shaved look... who knows, may be a new era!

sun123: I do feel great, thanks!  I was so happy with how well the costume turned out... I was worried I'd look like some bozo with a Superman shirt, but I was very pleased with the pics! 

 What a great and fun goal! You really got the look down perfectly. Nice job, you look fantastic!

wow you look great!!! how did you lose your weight?

Thanks Karin and xoritizex!

I lost the weight by cutting back on my calories, and eating much less junk.  I started out really good with exercise and all, but slacked on it lately, (and I've ate a little more "junk" but I'm still watching my cals overall) and I would often "zig zag" with my calories to keep my body guessing.   Most importantly, I prayed the whole time... for strength and willpower.  Still have a few more lbs to go, but I feel much much better!
