Not trying to win, just trying to get some people to post their success stories as well! I don't care if you've lost the kind of weight I have or 30 or 50 pounds, it's still tough to do!

You can click on the traineo link in my sig to get the before picture. There is no after picture yet.
Seriously though, I started around ~290. I started traineo about a week ago, so it doesn't count the ~21 pounds I lost in the last three months before starting traineo. I should get a new picture soon.

(0.025 sec duration on the frame rollover) You are early enough in your progress to think about this!

Both of you did a great job!
How much riding did it take for both of you?
When I moved to Cali last year I gained all the weight back that I lost, so being back home I am working at losing it again. When I left my lean mass was 172 and I'm down to about 165 now, so I doubt I will ever get to 172 total weight, but I would be happy with a 175 lean and 200 total body putting me at 12.5% body fat.

All you guys did great!
Damn, I am only looking to loose about 30lbs.
Of you guys that lost a lot of weight, what was the single biggest improvement in your life from the result of all that sweat equity?
