How long were you @ 400 before you were able to commit to your change?

I'm @ ~400 also and feel like I have just commited to the change, even though I've been 'trying' for about a year and a half.

thanks man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[josh83]

Lol not trying to pick on you or anything but I see this so much and it just reminded me, the (no homo) thing after someone telling someone else they look good. No one's going to think you're gay because you tell someone they look better after losing 100+ Lbs. why do people worry so much, I've always wondered this. Not trying to be a jerk just wondering why it started.

Awesome work! I just finished looking at all your pics in your bodyspace. I too started at 325 pounds and I am down to 268. I've only been training for a little bit now but seeing what I could possibly accomplish in 3 years by looking at your example really inspires me. Thanks for sharing your life with us I greatly appreciate it and please keep us posted!
