    It's hard to believe its possible at that size. I had to battle my own doubts,fears and insecurities for a long time. If he is on facebook have him check my group out Daves road to better health-300 pound weight loss journey. If he wants he can message me and we can talk. When he is ready he will do it :)

    Good luck

    First thing needed to say is "congrats" on an amazing transformation! I am sure your Doctor was equally impressed with you accomplishments as every one here is at MFP!

    The doctor visit of yours kind of mirrors my experience. My current doctor knew me at my highest weight (5'11", 250 pounds) and was gently reminding me to lose the weight during every office visit.

    Eventually I got sick of the extra weight, the health issues and started dropping 65 points (29 on MFP, 36 pre-MFP) and my doctor is amazed at my weight transformation even though I am still technically 10 pounds over a healthy BMI (my doctor thinks that if I do want to lose the last 10 pounds, it would be for vanity purposes only). I am off high pressure and cholesterol pills, overall health markers have improved, etc which was/is a nice product of losing weight.

    In closing, my hat is off to you for a job excellently done!!!!

    And the best of luck to the start of your maintenance phase of your life!!!!

    Congrats to you on your successes!

    Outstanding accomplishment. I've got to admit a chuckled a little at the side by side comparison. Looks like upon loosing the weight you put down the good book and picked up the Harley. Yes I'm stereo typing, otherwise it wouldn't be funny to me. I ride to, so I know riding doesn't make you evil. One of my goals is to look good riding my bike, so I don't have to keep adjusting my shirt at stop lights and leaning way back to smooth out the mid section.

    Great job again and keep the shiny side up in your travels.

    I still have the good book :) I ride with Bikers for Christ
