Hey guys, finally signed up for the forum. I had cruised through a few times when I'd randomly decide to try and get in shape, but I finally got committed to training and decided to sign up for the site.
This picture is of me on July 4th 2007, my friends girlfriend is on the left, and I am on the right (obviously):
Shortly after this photo was taken I decided to get in shape for good.

: Now coming up on a year later I've lost a significant amount of weight.
I took this picture of myself yesterday :
I am quite excited to have finally lost this much weight. I am down from a waist size 40 (US), down to a 36. Medium or Large T Shirt from a tight fitting 2x.
Now that I have dropped a lot of weight I am trying to start packing on some muscle. That's my short and sweet intro. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
