295 Fat. Unhappy. Unhealthy. I made my little son cry at Christmas when I couldn't fit into a jacket he bought me. I started 2008 with a resolution.

More back. That really is sweaty hair! My biz partner and I had a workout and then headed straight to the studio. Hardcore shoot without a shower. :)

In this photo I was down about 90 pounds and had been lifting a few months and SWORE I was getting some buffness. I remember being disappointed with the results of this photo.

At this point I was about 100 lbs down and thought my back was looking great!

One year, lost about 50% of myself. Time to hit weights even harder!

68 days later

I think I look beefier, and I don't know how I feel about that.

Just screwing around with my coworker at the studio. Blah. A year's worthy of work. Worth it! What will the next year bring? Appx. 50% lighter than the before photos.

I am STOKED about what the future holds. This gets better and better. My two most recent photos will pale in comparison to future ones, just like the others. Woo!

I'm not good at posing, haven't a clue how to flex properly - so my photo assistant and I do more artsy figure studies. I like my back and arms in this one.

Obligatory arm progress. Uh - I'm really not THAT hairy, the lighting just picks up every little thing. My photo partner and I are trying to figure out how to shoot my measly muscles - it's hard and nothing like we normally shoot! I don't see a big difference, but I like it nonetheless.

More from screwing off at the studio after a workout. Gasp! You can almost see my face. :) I'm smiling thinking about my impending Thanksgiving pigout. By this point it was getting impossible to hold a flex. That's REALLY hard work!
