Almost Reached My Goal

I had my surgery on February 24, 2006 (360 pounds). As of today I have lost 150 pounds (210 pounds). I am no longer on any diabetic and blood pressure medicines. I went from a size 48 pants to a size 36, heading for a size 34. I went from a 4X shirt to a large (16 - 16 1/2 neck). I am only 15 pounds away from my goal weight of 195 pounds. All this in less than a year. I really appreciate all the support from this website as it is good to know there are others out there going through the same things. -Bill_

Thank you for all your kind words of encouragement. I did not post this to brag, but in hopes that it might help others who are struggling. I know that this last 15 pounds will be the most difficult to loose, but I am determined to get there. I wish everyone and their families a Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years. God Bless, -Bill-
