I put this picture together a while back (like 7 months ago) for my friends. It was to show my attempts at making characters on a couple games look like me.
It also shows some weight loss (around 75lbs worth) so maybe people will get some laughs and some motivation out of it.
Yes, I did it in paint. I didn't have anything else installed to edit the picture at the time for some reason.

About me:
---------------------------
I'm an architecture student at a great school.
After trial and error, managed to shed the pounds for real.
What I'm doing:
---------------------------
Portion control still a problem.
HIIT 2x/week
Starting weights 1x/week
I take stairs over escalator and elevator ALL THE TIME (I climb 6 sets of stairs minimum for the day at the metro 2-3floors?).
Extra note:
---------------------------
I finally understand what being fit means! And I actually love running now thanks to HIIT.
Goal: lose the belly fat! My problem area.
First goal: 120lbs - MET
2nd goal: 116lbs - MET
3rd goal: 112lbs ish with more muscle definition
Realizing I can't change the way my body stores fat and have a noticeable belly during the day (pic was morning with light breakfast after workout) I will work on making a stronger core to counter the pooch a bit
Dropped 1 pant size since last year (stable weight)
Dropped 2 pant sizes since mid-Summer after Greece (pastries=weight gain)

First, great job, Rich! 75 lbs. is very impressive! Your graphic is pretty funny too.

Thanks. That was in reference to another thread. I call it the "Stop being pathetic" diet.
I was over 300lbs (and I'm ~5' 11"). When you're a young male at that level of obesity, weight loss is very easy.
When the weight stopped melting off really quickly, I started working out more and eating better food.
I'm sorry about not going into more detail. I hate having to type with one hand. Takes forever.

A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now.
Revised fitness plan:
-some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat
-some weight training, some pilates
-I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times!
I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary.
The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force.
To get what you've never had, you must do what you've never done.
Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.

Awesome job Rich-the picture thing and the weightloss. I like your way of looking at things...weightloss is easy. When you are in the right mindset this is true. My mii looks quite a lot like me, too!

I want to wear a bathing suit next summer!! I got up to 182 and decided to do something. My new man is a runner, and has me hooked on it with the Nike . I started walking/running intervals recently, and set a goal for myself of 80 miles in the next 12 weeks. Together with a healthier diet, I'm hoping to watch the weight melt off like it already has begun to!
