I DID IT!!!!!

Hey Guys, I had a major FART on Labor Day. It was the 4 month anniversary of my surgery. Forgive me for boring you with stats (but hey, I love bragging), at 14 I was 208 lbs going into High School. I reached 225 when we married 6 years later. I've just kept gaining, finally hitting 291 (dressed w/shoes) in January at my annual check-up. I was 282 on March 27th when I had my consult and 284 on May 3rd my surgery date (again fully dressed w/shoes when weighed) All my adult life whenever I was asked my goal has been to just have that first digit be a one, I didn't care if its only 199, just be under 200 lbs. I had to work Monday so it was up at 5am, hit the shower and then the scale before getting dressed. You guessed it! 199.8 lbs! and today 199.2. I was so excited I woke up the wife, didn't say anything, just smiled at her. After a few minutes she looked up and said, "you did it didn't you?" I said yep, 199.8!  She says, that's great honey, I'm so proud of you, no go have a hot fudge Sunday. Just had to share.........................................

Don, Just a quick note to say- Keep it Up!

Best Wishes- Dx

Man you are dropping like a stone... Congrats Russ

Whoa!  You are rockin! You must have gotten a hair cut, shaved your body and trimmed your toe nails!!!  And spit a lot!! So at 4 months and 199,.... whats the goal??   120??

Now I'm confused.  Was it 199 with your shoes on or off? Congratulations. Rob

Congratulations! That's great news.
