Hey Guys, Well, its a cold and rainy (maybe snowy later) morning here in Colorado. I'm definitely staying in where its warm. Especially now that I don't have the extra "insulation" to keep me warm. I'm not complaining though.  I've been at 227 for a while now. This week I dipped to 225, back to 227 this morning though. I'm happy with my size and weight. Although, I wouldn't mind losing another 20 pounds.  The journey continues...... Ron

I have been around the locker room a lot lately because I have too busy living my new life. I am 18 months out today and I have been doing really well. I eat normally these days just a lot less that I did in the past. I stabilized around the 220lbs (My High School Weight) mark about 6 months ago and I have been maintaining with no problems. I love the fact that I get full now on a reasonable food portion. In the old days I would eat till it hurts and then eat more a few hours later because I was still hungry. I'm still getting a lot of exercise these days. I hiked about 8 miles yesterday and I am leading a hike to the NC Mountains next weekend to view the changing trees. Life is busy but very fulfilling these days. I now maintain a schedule that would have killed me 2 years ago and I am hardly breaking a sweat. I had a photo/video shoot on Tuesday of this week for Duke Hospital as part of an ad and education promotion for their WLS program. Looks like I'm going to be a poster child for RYN at Duke. They did a whole photo spread on me and my black lab Jack. We walked over a 1000 miles last year after I had WLS. I lost 242lbs and Jack lost about 20lbs from a high of 102lbs down to about 82lbs. He is the ultimate power walker; we have covered as far as 11-12 miles in a morning. Highest                - 460lbs Date of Surgery    - 388lbs  (4/17/06) Last week            - 220lbs Today                  - 219lbs Loss for past six months ~5lbs (+/-)  Total loss from RYN -  242lbs

Highest weight: 350

DOS: 322

Last week: 206

This week:  203 (lost 3 more lbs.) at 6'4", I'm into the "NORMAL" range for BMI weight.  I've decided to quit worrying about losing too much weight until/unless I get too close to the underweight range.
