    I love this statement of yours well said :) "After many years of being unfit and inactive I woke and realized how much more fun it is to be able to get up and go do anything I choose, than being a couch potato." Kudos to you on your victory :)

    You are an inspiration. I still have about 40-45 lbs. to go, but cardiologist has already started cutting back some of my meds, too. I'm so happy for you and hope to follow in your footsteps!
