New pics

In profile.

Down 100 lbs and started lifting weights. I wasn't being an ass when flexing in that one pic by the way. I posed that way simply to compare to an older pic where I was in a similar pose.

Special thanks to the community here that's helped me greatly along this treck. Thanks to CC as well, a resource that has proven tremendously important to me.

I'm still going to continue losing, 'cause body fat is still very prevelant. Soon though I'll move exclusively to gaining actually; muscle that is.

I don't see any except the first one that you've had in there for a while. 

Well, either way...WOOHOO on 100 pounds down!!! 

Hmmm, the site's been kinda glitchy lately. Maybe you'll be able to see 'em later.

Oh, and yeah, thanks so much! It  feels super great!

For now, it's to continue dropping body fat (maybe drop 5 or 10 lbs max) and to build a stronger body in anticipation of a structured weight lifting program. Once I get my body fat to an acceptable level, I'll try to gain muscle mass. Ultimately I'd like to be at maybe 180ish with little body fat. We'll see what happens though. Thanks again for the support.

Congratulations!  The time and effort really shows.

amazing..... absolutely amazing....very inspirational....

Wow Im so impressed !!! What an inspiration .. thanks for sharing your photos !

You look great, such a difference!!  Congratulations!  :D

wow! amazing! and you did it in such short time no less!

Congratulations on losing weight! Keep us posted of your progress.

You're amazing! Thats all I have to say! Now get out there and find yourself a woman that deserves you! Because you are not only amazing in the losing weight sense but you really are an awesome guy. I'm really proud of you, I can remember when you use to be sad and everything. I love seeing how you've changed, it gives me inspiration to keep fighting the fight. Thanks so much!

You hit the big century!!!  Way to go!!!! 

Hunka hunka burn'n love....you look fabulous! So, you've lost 100lbs since March of 2008? Dang! I was patting myself on the back for 20lbs since April. Nicely done. And thank you for continuing to motivate and lend advice to the rest of us. Proof be.

Now THAT is how you do something, seriously though you put your mind to doing something and you DID it.  Tell me something though, is the feeling you get when people barely recognize you because you changed so much not awesome? The only thing that makes it better is that it's a change you're proud of and something you worked towards. Maybe I got a little carried away there... sorry :)
