I'm half the man I was

Just two weeks after crossing under the 200 pound mark for the first time since, probably, high school, I weighed today to see that I am at 190. That is exactly one half of my weight a year ago of 380. Yay! That makes 190 lost total, and 140 since my surgery in March. I am down to a size 30 pant and a L/M shirt, depending on the cut. I first used to say that I'd be happy at 220, but I passed that. Then I set a preliminary goal of 200. Passed that. My official goal, where I want to get before having the excess removed, is 180. At the rate I'm losing (4-5 pounds a week) I expect to be there before Thanksgiving. My nutritionist and others say I may, after surgery, see numbers like 150 for myself. Wow. I'm turning out to be a little guy underneath all this fat, so I should be able to work it. Just a quick update, everyone. I wish everyone else continued success! Chris

Congratulations, Chris. You look great! Keep up the great work... John

Congratulations Chris My partner tells me that too -- that I was a little person hiding under all that weight -- and I'm little so I know how you feel -- and it feels great. She says I'm a little woman that's pushing her around ! Congratulations and keep plugging at it. I'm shooting for 100 pound loss by my anniversary surgery date which is in February. So once I get back in the gym, I'll be at it again.
