DeletedMember 715 Posted October 28, 2016 As of this morning, I weigh 162.2 and have a BMI of 24.6! This puts me at a normal BMI for the first time since I was 14 years old! Feels great! I've gone from 4XL shirts to M or L (depending on brand) I've gone from 48 inch pants to 32 inch pants I started at 333 on February 9th, 2016 I was 287 when I had my surgery on March 21st, 2016 I am 162 today, October 28th, 2016 I'm off all high blood pressure medication I'm off my PPI I only take multi Vitamins I have so much more energy My chronic pain from osteoarthritis in my knees is reduced (hip not so much, so I'm getting it replaced in January) While it has been a ton of work (as you all know), I can not imagine this process having gone better or being more successful! Now I just need to worry about maintaining which I fear will be the biggest challenge of all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeletedMember 715 Posted October 28, 2016 Congrats on your progress. Looking forward to this weekends game. GO BLUE I'll be there for what is looking like a beat down, and not one for the good guys this year :-). Of course I was there last year too, so I will always have that. And for the one where we held you guys to a total of -26 yards rushing a couple years ago. Oh, I'm already missing the old days. Haha. I'll just hold out for a miracle this weekend. Go Green!

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted October 29, 2016 Jester! I have no way of knowing whether you're "normal," but you're gorgeous in every other way. You had the strength and drive to get to where you are today. You've got what it takes to maintain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeletedMember 715 Posted October 30, 2016 Thanks everyone! I wake up everyday motivated to continue this effort. Today I'm taking my daughter to the Sports Club to go swimming, and my wife is meeting us there later to play tennis. Re-adjusting our "normal" as a family.
