357, i got on the scale and said that was it. I have 2 kids and that weight wasnt going to keep me around. So i did what i had always done i went on a diet and finished up my reqs for weight loss surgery. Things is i have always been able to lose weight when i hit it hard, and was able to drop 60 lbs. Then everyone was saying you dont need the surgery keep doing what you are doing. They dont get it. It is not the losing it is the keeping it off, and i beleive this is the best tool i have to date to do that.
