IT"S OFFICIAL!!!

I waited two days to see if there was going to be any fluxuation but I'm holding at.... drum roll please ... MY GOAL!!!!  I've officially reached 210 lbs!!  That was my weight 20+ yrs ago while active duty USAF, albeit I was a lot more muscular back then.    In other news, I bought a pair of 34 jeans yesterday.  The good news is that they fit.  The bad news is that they just barely fit and my roll of loose skin (formerly my stomach) looks horrible hanging over the top.  I may not switch to 34s anytime soon (A relative term for WLSers) but it sure is nice to know that I could wear them with a loose t-shirt if I wanted to. As a result of hitting my goal, I'm also out of the Obese BMI range into the Overweight range.  It never felt so good to be overweight. My next (and perhaps last) weight loss goal is to go down to 200.  I'm thinking that at 200 I'll be bordering on too thin.  After that, I'll just turn the weight loss switch to the off position.  --Eric

Eric: WOW!  That is wonderful news.  I'm sure the road has been rought at times but it's a good feeling isn't it?  I can't wait until I can post great things like this!  Keep up the good work. Deb

Thanks, Deb!!  It is a great feeling.  I had hit another plateau and for whatever reason my body has recently decided to start losing again.  I've lost about 8 lbs in the last two weeks and I won't complian if it keeps going.  Honestly, I owe most of it to the Tae Kwon Do lessons I've been taking the last 2-3 months.  It is a great workout.   BTW, I posted a new TKD pic too.

Woo Hoo Eric!!!!! Awesome Job....I cannot wait myself when I can turn off weightloss and go into maintain Well Done!!

You Go!!!!! That is awesome.

Eric,      CONGRATULATIONS! That is fabulous.

Thanks for the posts.  It is very cool to hit a goal.

Eric,  That is AWESOME!!  I am so happy for you.  What a great feeling it is to be a loser.

Great news!

Great job, Eric. Just to show my support of your weightloss, how 'bout if I take you to Outback for a huge lunch, and then shop by the bakery for a congratulatory cake? Just kidding. Really, Eric, I couldn't be more happy for you, or more proud of your accomplishment.   Good on you!
