Here is my five-month update.  I am very happy with the results so far. Many aspects of my life have seen improvement.  I will list some of the positives and negatives so far.


Positives:

1.               lost 70+lbs

2.               pants size has dropped from 42-44 to 34-36

3.               Shirt size dropped form xxl to large

4.                I am not taking any medications to control diabetes and my sugar levels are normal

5.                I no longer need my sleep apnea mask

6.                I am jogging, riding bike and doing a lot of walking

7.                No knee or back issues

8.                 No skin folds

9.                  I feel much better with more energy

Negatives:

1.                 I don’t have many clothes that fit me properly

2.                 Everyone wants to know what I’m doing (that’s not so bad but tiring)

3.                 I can feel scar tissue if I move in just the right way. Can be a little painful.

4.                 Can hit sugar lows pretty quick if I eat incorrectly

5.                 Some hair loss

6.                  Now that I can see and touch my toes I realize how ugly my feet are

Over all i am very happy

That's a great weight loss and you look great too. Funny comment about your toes, though.

 Congrats on your loss, you look great! I keep thinking I need a card to hand out to people who ask how I am losing weight... Maybe have a diagram, little picture?

You look terrific!  I'd sure love to get rid of my cpap mask!

i think the idea of a little card is great -- with a diagram of the stomach with a slice running through it!  Let's do it!  ;-)
