Research proves I've lost 146 lbs to date!
I did some research in my past few years of being morbid obese and found that in May 2003, I weighed 310 lbs.
I recall the photo of me and the lady who cared for my dog, now that photo I've created a before and after pic located at:

I realize now that I credited myself my starting weight just prior to surgery in July 2005, and never looked back further into my past to see the highest I've weighed in my life. That was 310 in May 2003.
So I'm requesting that oh.com notice this as over 100 lbs lost, total being 146 lbs lost to date, and become a Century Club Cardholder.
I hope that you all forgive me for not realizing this until now....I did not think about how far back to go into my past since it wasn't that great anyway...just pre op surgery weight.
Ugh....what a blimp I was. I look at the photo on the left and wonder ---
and Yes, those are the same pants I wore in the "fat jeans" photo:

Stacey,
Good for you!! Your pics are awesome!! And yes, you should be getting credit for EVERY pound you've lost!! I too wasn't at my heaviest when I had surgery, but since I had to work at getting off the other 20+ lbs., I sure as heck count them into my total!
You look great! Keep up the good work!
