To the right is me a few months before I tried to lose the weight. 210.5 pounds to be exact. Many people now say - "you weren't that heavy", but believe me I was. One problem I think we all have is many poeple don't realize what 200 pounds looks like. They are imaginaing someone round who can barely move. Well they're probably imagining someone more like 300+ pounds. I certainly was top heavy in the day. Wearing my "favorite jeans" size 22. Now to the left. After losing about 45 pounds, those are the same jeans.
