Well fellas, today is MY birthday (I'm 29, for the 4th time heh,heh)...and I'm working

, no big deal I guess. The wife and I had some family and friends over this past weekend for the event so today is just another day. The arrival of another birthday does, however, make me step back and review the events of this past year and plan for the upcoming. A few comparisons:

July 23 2007                                   July 23 2008
320 Pounds                                   220 Pounds
44 inch Waist                                36 inch Waist
No Exercise                                   Excersise (almost) daily and improving daily
Uncontrolled Diabetes                Non-diabetic
Hypertensive                                 115-75 on average
GERD                                              No issues
Gout                                                 No flare ups in several months
4 daily RX Meds                            Vitamins only
Lousy Sex life                                Hump like a racehorse (TMI, sorry)

I can't tell you how much this forum has helped me over the past year and continues to today. There's alot more that I haven't listed, such as activites with the kids, riding in a roller coaster, etc, and I'm sure I'll discover more as more time passes. Best of luck to everybody.

Awesome changes to your life - congratulations. Amen brother. Enough said. It is amazing how our lives changes so drastically. It makes you think - why didn't I do this years ago.

Be good, Taz

Amazing comparison, isn't it? 100 pounds lost doesn't tell the whole story but your comparison does. Great job and thanks for sharing. Happy birthday, man!!
