JeffA70 200 Posted December 29, 2012 42 here. Getting sleeved on January 8. Was more or less normal in college at 21 (235ish). Was up to 362 at age 30. Began a decade of losing, gaining, losing, gaining. 50-60 lbs. each time. Finally decided in December 2011, 'ENOUGH.' Am very nervous about what's ahead, but ready and looking at it with a clear head. Goal is to get back down into my ratty college-era t-shirt from 1992.
