This is me last September with my sons Brian and Christopher. This is in front of Nathaniel Hawthorne's house near the North Bridge in Concord. At the time, I was in the neighborhood of 285-290 pounds and I remember that day well. I was hot, tired and hungry. Right after this picture was taken, we stopped at an ice cream stand and I had a huge ice cream sundae. A few months later, I would be at 300 pounds.
This picture was taken this afternoon during a fishing trip. Here I am in Gloucester Harbor with my son Christopher (Brian is taking the picture). I had a vigorous 5 mile walk this morning and I am just full of energy in this picture. I am down to 228 pounds this morning and believe it or not, I intend to lose at least another 20.
