So when I look at my my progress of getting to the weight I want to be, I am not there yet. I was feeling bad that I gained some weight in the past few months. I have not gained any weight for a month so that trend has stopped.  I have been scanning old photos and came across a couple of pictures that shows me where I started. I am so far away from that weight that I cannot believe that I once was that heavy. These pictures were when I was right around 305lbs in 1997 and 280 pounds in 2000, currently I am at 227lbs. I want to get down to 190lbs. So as long as I keep moving towards my goal life is good.
