6 month post op

Hi guys, Hope all is well.  Just wanted to pop in to say hi and to give an update... 6 months today and the totals are...300lbs down to 170lbs (5 lbs below goal).  50in waist down to 33in. 130lbs gone 17inches off the waist  IN 6 MOnNHS  What an awesome feeling. And I came in 2nd in a 10 week fitness challenge at my gym(out of 15 people). One big thing... for years I have been wearing shorts year round because, well I was always hot and they were the most comfortable thing.  Now I understand why so many people were looking at me like I wsa a freak- CANADA IS COLD in the winter.  What a great feeling!!! I haven't been on mush lately, but will rectify that. To all you who are waiting-keep going it is worth all the time.  It will happen for you too! Blessings Mike

Mike, Congratulations on your superb accomplishment.  You've done a great job!

Mike, That is some killer progress.  Congrads on being 2nd in the contest.  I guess that helped keep you motivated.  33 pants,...I'm still working in that direction. Way to go,...and thanks for the inspiration.  I coming that way.  I'm at a 44 and shrinking. Joe

way to go Mike, second is really something considering where you came from. i was blown away at 6 months too. sounds like me, we both lost a lot in that time. you're waist is really something in that short amount of time. i think the secret was all that exercise so keep it up......carbonblob

Hey Mike - congrats on your success.   Sounds like you are doing awesome!!!!!!!!   Keep up the great work, Chuck

Way to go Mike!!  I just hit my goal today.  They always said that guys loose it so much faster than the women.  Any ideas on how to stablize your weight.  I want to stay at 190 but I work out so much it is hard to get all the necessary food in.  keep it up...Brian in Turlock CA

Great job Mike!!!  I hope that I can post results like that in 6 months.  I am down 62 lbs since surgery.  What type of exercise have you been doing?  It seems the more I walk, the slooooower the weight comes off.  I hate that scale! Kent 357/295/189
