THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE... or how I lost 100 pounds in about 8 months.

Today is the day I have been looking forward to for quite some time now!
I have hit the "100 lbs LOST" mark of my incredible journey so far.
It has been quite a fun 8 months.  It's been a roller coaster.  I feel like a completely different person and I couldn't be happier about it.  Nothing makes me more happy than seeing someone I haven't seen in months and seeing the expression on their face as they notice the difference.  My friends are awesome and have been doing an incredible job cheering me on.
On a related side note:  Thank you for the never-ending compliments.  They do mean the world to me and keep me motivated, however, the only compliment that I don't enjoy is, "ohh... that jacket is looking kinda big on you" or "bout time for a new pair of jeans" etc, you get the idea.  I completely understand you mean nothing but the best by it, but as someone who cares about their image it isn't what I like hearing, especially considering the ridiculous amounts of money I've spent on clothing this past year.  Since starting to lose weight there are two suits I've bought for work that I can't even wear anymore and the third is on the way out!  Obviously the same could be said for casual clothing!  Like I said I highly appreciate the sentiment but just say, "looking good, keep up the good work"  don't tell me about how I look like a clown!


For all the people who ask how in the world this has happened, you can read my blog post from a couple months ago for the full explanation of WHY this has happened, but as for HOW this has happened, endless hours in the gym mixed with healthy eating.  Weird.  I know, it's like they taught us in elementary school!  I hit the gym literally EVERY day.  Sometimes twice a day, averaging 8-10 visits, about 12 hours a week, at the gym.  I'm lighter and healthier than I ever was in high school.  I hope to continue with great results in the future.

Ok, seriously though.  Thanks so much for the continued support and cheers.  I honestly don't think I could do it without all of you guys.  I mean, 100lbs!  That's like some TV commercial shit! 

For those that see me daily/weekly, it is hard to notice the changes, so let me scare you with some pictures!


I'll let you figure out which are the before and after.
