Today's my birthday. One year ago today (my 60th birthday) I was wondering if I would make it to 61. Taking out the garbage or pulling weeds would leave me gasping for air. I had been recently diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes and had been using a cpap for sleep apnea for years.

Today I turn 61!

140 lbs gone!

No diabetes medications! (A1C = 5.3)

No blood pressure medication! (new normal 90/60)

No more cpap machine!

Five hours of heavy yard work on Saturday in the sun! (no gasping for air)

Bought jeans at WalMart for $16. (Always had to order online for more $$)

I'm a new man! What a difference a year can make!

Happy Birthday! Congratulations on all your victories! Isn't it wonderful to be able to do so much more without the exhaustion it use to make? Keep up the great work! Chris

Happy Birthday and Congratulations!   You are an inspiration for me!  I'm 6 weeks out and can't wait until I can say I've lost 100 lbs.
