Half the man I used to be.......

Actually, not even half. I got on the scale today for my "Official Weekly Weigh In" and there it was......219!!!!! My all time heaviest was 441.  That means a total weight loss of 222 and I did it 2 weeks shy of my one year surgiversary! I am pretty excited and frankly, amazed.  I really didn't think it would happen this fast. Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and support along the way. I'll get some new pics up soon.

Way to go Danny, what a awesome accomplishment in such a short time. How many times did you get on and off the scale to make sure you were seeing what you were seeing. I know I did that about 4 or 5 times, and still didn’t quite believe it. Congratulations I raise my glass of chocolate protein drink in honor of your success. Alan

WAY TO GO!! Can't wait till I get there, you guys got me on workin my ass off and not thinking the surgery will do it all by itself.

Protein bars all around! You kick Butt dude. Thats is the Best FART I've read in awhile.

Great job Danny!

This is a great accomplishement. I wish you all the best.

Big-Ole "WAY-TO-GO!" for you! Awesome, as expected! You've done great. seems like only yesterday you were just starting out.... Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx

Way to go Danny.....\ I'm planning on being with you for the super bowel...If life does not intervene Russ

Double Century???? Danny, you are an inspiration to us pre-ops

Congrats, Danny! I can relate. I started out at 652. I am now 282. That's a loss of 370 lbs - more than half of my original body weight. I had my surgeries in spring / summer of 2006 - so it's been about 18 months. It's an amazing thing, isn't it?

Danny, Great news, …Way to use that tool. I had a similar experience as well, two week before my anniversary. I though it would never be possible, let alone be done in a year. The only risk you are facing now is becoming a clothes horse because of all your new options in stores and styles that did not accommodate the old you. Congratulations, Herb
