Time for a lifestyle change...no longer a "Fat Texan"

[{tpc}]

Good job Jake! I'm currently trying to shave some pounds off myself, so I'm back on the diet. Of course last night I fell off the wagon at a playoff party....not completely off but still.

My problem now is the weather. Makes it hard to walk at lunch instead of sit at my desk and eat. Too damn cold.

50 lbs is a major accomplishment. I keep checking this thread for inspiration as I'm sure many other are doing.
Are we going to see some photos?

Ask and ye shall receive. I don't have a side profile from before. Chalk it up to say is was pretty ridiculous.

Good work brother, keep it up. This is the hard part because the results won't be as evident to you but just stick with your plan and trust in the results. When I lost my weight (particularly in the middle) I had the same mental image of myself at the my heaviest. I didn't really believe people when they told me that I looked like I was loosing weight until I looked at pictures of myself before and after. Keep taking those pictures and monitoring your weight and stay motivated.

I was actually thinking the same thing. I just didn't know how to say it and not sound weird.

I don't think it sounded weird, Brandon. It was the fact that you were licking your lips after you said it that was odd.
