The first photo is very close to how I look now, except my hair is a little shorter. (Greg: Is it accurate?) The second photo is how I will probably look at goal weight (there wasn't an option for waist size) - X number of inches and 26 pounds less from today. I know I feel good at this goal weight.

According to weight charts, for my body's frame (large), I should weigh 15-20 pounds less than my goal weight. In the past, I've found it hard to maintain that weight but I'll see how it goes as the waist inches move lower.

I decided to be bravely honest and post a "Taking Care and Improvement Tracker" in the sidebar.
