hello everyone I havent been on here for a while and I decided to come back to see whats new with everyone. Well I started my journey in september of 2011 and I have now lost a total of 56 pounds wich has been really great. It wasnt easy on top of being obese I was a smoker too. I wanted to loose lots of weight first and then start my journey to quitting smoking. So I kept my promise to myself and recently have quit smoking. Mission accomplished altho i would really love to loose another 15 pounds wich I am working harder on now.Anyway just want to thank everyone for reading my post and congrats to you all and keep up the good work. Here are my before and after pics first ones ever posted up here.

Congratulations on your weight loss. Don't let the effort to quit smoking 'throw you' - so many people struggle with that but they succeed. You can, too!

Congrats! Your efforts really show in your pics! And AWESOME job on quitting smoking too. Now you can get on with the rest of your life in a healthy way!
