So, I started at 330; 249, for me, is a big deal. I saw my doctor today (routine checkup) and he actually broke down in tears about how "proud" he was of me. Since I feel like I haven't done any real work, it was a bit confusing, but still gratifying. I feel like I'm slowly -- at age 40! -- becoming the man I was "supposed to be."

Here's a picture I took tonight of me wearing a bunch of Xmas presents (my new peacoat, my hand-me-down jeans -- 8 inches smaller at the waist than my last pair! and starting to get too big! -- and my new boots, which you can't see... stupid camera!). It's almost like I'm photographing someone else these days. I don't even feel like it's "me" in the pictures.

Weird, eh?

Lookin good !!! Doesn't it feel good to be stylish and up to date. Glad to hear you have a doctor who cares. Yeah for you.

You do look great, and very stylish with all the new duds, indeed! Congrats to you! I also think it's great that your doc shared his emotions. My doc is super skilled, but not a very emotional guy

VERY HANDSOME!

VERY HANDSOME!

Hi I am so pleased for you. You are looking very fit.

You are looking awesome! And I agree with the others, if I saw you on the street, I wouldn't think that you had any weight to lose

Isn't it nice that your doctor is so invested in his work (you) that he was that happy -- my doctor is reacting similarly (no crying yet, though) and I just think it's wonderful to have a medical professional care so much --

I'm really really happy and proud of you!! Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks for sharing your pic, you look amazing! Nice job!

You look, happy, great and healthy, congratulations!
