Rich W. - Is your profile pic your weight loss photos?
Holy cow man! That looks to me like a before and after shot in your new profile pic. I've been gone lately and maybe I missed something but you did an awesome job dropping that weight off man! Very awesome job!

Just finished a Galapagos cruise. I was heavier at one time than many of the so called "giant tortoises", and they are huge.
My highest weight was 362 pounds, and 67" waist. I lost 212 pounds in 13 months. Surgery in 1994. BEFORE this cruise was 159 and 32" waist. Now, a bit higher.
Thanks for the nice kudos. Rich in Quito waiting for flight delayed!
