July 2008, 185 pounds
That's right. 100 pounds. While we are at it, here is a picture of me fresh after shaving.
I went from looking like I was well over 30 to looking younger than I really am after shaving. That said though, I am pretty sure I'm growing the beard right back. I just like that look better. Some people have said I should stop losing weight because they are used to me a certain way. I don't really care, at least I'm not going to drop from a heart attack or diabetes complications like all of the other men in my family have. And if I do, it won't be my fault. To lose 100 pounds, you have to change your lifestyle and now that I've done that, I see no reason to go back, so I intend to continue as I have been. If I stay where I am at, I'm pretty happy with that. If I get buff, that's even better. If I turn into a skinny shrimp, I'll probably have to start bulking up. Anyway, I just thought I'd share, just in case anyone besides Rock reads my blogs.
Oh, and for Rock, here is a picture of my new tattoo.

Yeah... I've only lost half the weight as you, but I completely know where you're coming from with the "you don't look right" comments... fuck 'em though... you feel better, and it obviously looks better to society in general.
(seems like a lame thing to be concerned with... but it definitely influences your whole outlook on life, when you realize how often pretty girls are smiling at you now)
And losing all that padding in your lower abdomen makes your dick bigger... what guy is gonna complain about that? ..... hahaha
So congratulations... you look healthy as hell now, and you're pretty much the only person I know that makes me embarrassed to have only lost 60 pounds in the past year... hahaha... I was all happy with myself and shit, but now I just want to go out and jog for and hour or so.
Dick.
(This is your payback for me getting the Mississippi Nights tattoo first, isn't it? I trump you by getting the ink we'd both thought of at the same time, and you trump me by making my remarkable weight-loss seem trivial... ...well-played, old bean... way to steal my thunder and shit... seriously... the six-pack is a little excessive... you could've stopped at "husky" and still made your point. hahahaha)
...
The new work is cool though... you should post one of the color you had added to the whale too... or maybe take a day off work, and hang out with your boys sometime (so I can see it in person).
