Back to the Beginning...

It's important to start somewhere right?  So the beginning has to be as good a place as any.

This was me, Christmas 2008 and March 2009. 

I still get a little shock when I look at them.  Anyone who has known me looks at these pictures and tells me I didn't see you that big, or I didn't realise you had gotten that big.  So I continue to push these out there because you know what I WAS that big, and if god forbid I start to regress I'm counting on my friends to pull me back into line.  I need them to remember and I need to remember that this was a reality for me, one I was almost willing to accept, and I don't ever want to have to go back there.

So let's do some measurements for comparison.

Height: 176cm

Weight: 130 kg

Chest: 127 cm

Waist: 123 cm

Hips: 144 cm

Thigh: 69 cm

BMI: 42.0 - Morbidly Obese

Next post I will do a series of progress shots and measurements to date.
