Been A while, Long awaited update with (lots) pics

Hi everyone its been a while since I posted. Had my RNY surgery Aug 15, 2012 I weight 315 at my highest and was 270 (liquid diet is amazing) going into surgery. Today I weight 177, my goal is 170. Pesky 7 pounds. I'm not too discouraged I'm very close to my goal and I weight lift A LOT so I imagine that's why it takes so long. Bumps in the road on my journey have included not dumping, so occasionally bad eating habits come back into play, but I'm able to remind myself by looking at old pictures of what that will lead to, and I'm able to whip myself back into shape. I work out 5-6 times a week, and I count my calories with myfitnesspal(anyone want to be friends on there let me know always looking to encourage and be encouraged). Most importantly blood sugars are normal, no HBP and I'm a healthy person. I feel great and I'm so thankful I made this decision. Here are some before and after photos of my journey. 

Prob my biggest moment  320-350 perhaps

315 Eating is still my fav thing to do.
