So, it's been a year :) Yay, me! Even with the neck fusion surgery, I think I did pretty darn good! I'll post photos here, but I also blogged about it on my personal site HERE.

So, stats:

Weight: 375 to 216
BMI: 60.5 to 34.9 (Super Morbidly Obese to Moderately Obese)
Pants: 34 to 20
Shirts: 32/34 to 14/16
T-Shirts: 6X to 1X

And the fight continues. I honestly didn't believe I'd make it this far, I'm still amazed.

Monthly:
216 (-10) - Month 12, 06/21/2012
226 (-8) - Month 11, 5/21/2012
234 (-10) - Month 10, 04/21/2012
244 (-10) - Month 9, 03/21/2012
254 (-6) - Month 8, 02/21/2012
260 (-9) - Month 7, 01/21/2012
269 (-10) - Month 6, 12/21/2011
279 (-12) - Month 5, 11/21/2011

Yeah. I actually saw my surgeon today, he seemed impressed I lost this much this far out. But I'm working it hard still.

Oh sexy lady, I have missed you! You look fantastic, and have come so far, you are amazing. Good to hear you are doing well after the neck stuff. Hope to see you around here more!

Thanks. Honestly, the same newbie questions start to get to me after a while, so I found I had to take a step back a bit. Plus the people eating burgers right out of surgery (WTF, dude?). The neck thing really screwed with my head, but I think I've done pretty darn well in spite of it. Onward I go!

Congratulations on your success - you look great! And all this despite the other health issues and surgery you had...congratulations indeed! Do try to drop in more often as we miss your voice around here...
