Bump! I was updating pictures on my myspace page just now, and saw for the first time what a drastic difference a loss of 61 pounds makes.

Thinking about the differences in my life in those two pictures is pretty insane. In the first one, I was depressed, living in the middle of nowhere away from everyone I cared about... basically hopeless. Now though, I feel a LOT better about myself in many ways, live in a much better situation, and things seem to just be coming together.
I still have a long ways to go (around 100 pounds is my estimate), but I just wanted to thank everyone here for the encouraging stories and great advice. I know I'm mostly a lurker, but everyone that has contributed to this forum has helped a great deal. Here's to the next 60!
EDIT: The same facial expression on the two pictures was a complete coincidence, and something I just noticed. Perhaps I should try smiling?
