It is official, I have lost 200 lbs! (The crowd roars!

) I still have tears in my eyes. After so many years of failure, I can't believe it is actually happening. I posted a couple of new pictures for those who have asked. (Notice Amanda that I am wearing your red shirt.) Although this is the shirt Amanda wore in her "before" pictures, it represents a huge accomplishment for me because I started at 550 lbs, a weight most people can't even imagine. Today, I can walk farther, sit more places, do more things.. and I can be truly happy. I have a long way to go, but I am more than half way there. Very soon I will be seeking plastics for that not so lovely apron hanging... ooh child, watch me go!

Thank you for all your support and encouragement. Can't wait to meet a bunch of you in September. I love you all from the bottom of my heart!
