Wow! Huge thanks for selecting me as one of the winners of the competition. Yesterday, as I was looking at the images of the other competitors, I thought my odds were slim to none. This is a huge honor.
As some of you know, I started my own get-my-ass-into-shape contest back in February of this year at almost 220lbs. I'm 5'-7", so that officially made me a
tank-ass. I've already posted that pic from July of '06 in another thread. I'd rather not revisit it.
I hit the ground running in the C3G Biggest Loser competition at 197lbs. and lost 20 pounds over the course of the competition. As Cam mentioned, I had some ups, I had some downs. I had a period there where I was busting ass and
gained weight, so I had to get my diet back in check. My motivation was partially the competition, but more my own health. I was getting winded climbing the stairs at my house! After I'd had two kidney stones and a cancer scare in '06, it was definitely time.
I've still got a ways to go to reach my own personal goal, and I'm sure I'll regret posting these, but here goes.

Thanks again to everyone - Cam, Damian, and all of the participants for the encouragement and support. I, too, am looking forward to C3GBL II.
