This might sound like I’m bragging… but I just want the internet and my dear readers to embrace me in my celebration.



I’ve never been a heavy guy and in fact, during high school I was rail thin. Let’s take a look at my weight progression. I wish it were illustrated but thankfully I don’t take pictures well.



To give you a perspective, I’m 5’ 11” tall… and have been the same height since high school.



Time line:



1999 - Graduated from Highschool at 135 lbs. Too thin.



2001 - Halfway done with College. 150 lbs



2002 - Graduated from College. 175 - 180 lbs. Yes, I gained nearly 50 lbs during college.



Winter / Spring 2007 - Peaked at 194 lbs



Present - A healthy 177 lbs as of this morning.

177 lbs!!!!, that’s nearly 20 lbs of weight loss this summer alone. My original goal of the summer was to hit 180, with a “Holy Shit” goal of 175lbs. I’m practically there!



How did I accomplish this goal? Changing my eating habits. Zero lower tier fast food (McDonalds, Burger King, etc)… cut out as much greasy food as I can… and size down my portions. Becca had a lot to do with this… Thank you for helping me.

Gotta love salads. Amazing what you can do by just changing a few things about your diet.
