    Dear, So-not-the-enemy,
    40 pounds IS hard work. It's easy to be overwhelmed by a big number when it comes to goal weight and pounds lost. Do what I do, set small goals, then you can celebrate along the way. Keep us posted on your progress, you are such an inspiration!

    You have done an excellent job. I started just a few pounds below your current weight, so I know what it is to look like you do now, and I would encourage you to keep up with the great work. You will feel amazing after only 40 or 50 pounds more. You will not want to stop until you get the feeling that you have real control over your body. Congratulations!

    Hi Howie,

    Congratulations on your loss(bet there's not a Hallmark card for that)! No matter how the fat came off it did and that is the point. I am 24 pounds down from a high weight of 324. I am having surgery on my Achilles in two weeks. Can't exercise but will still do the tracking. Keep on keepin' on...

    There really should be a card for weight loss.

    Just because you has surgery doesn't discredit you! Like you said, you worked damn hard for those 48 pounds!
    Congrats on your progress so far, if you keep it up you'll be at 200 before you know it.

    First off, full disclosure, I'm the enemy. I didn't do the majority of this through diet and exercise.

    I had gastric right after that first picture was taken. (They made me lose 25 lbs before they would even do the roux-en-y procedure, so my heaviest was 592). It is damn old. I managed with the gastric bypass to get down to about 430 and then because the procedure was done open I caught myself the hernia.

    Bad one also, it was repaired, it tore again. Still have it. Will get it fixed once I get down another 70 lbs.

    I joined mfp @ 415 lbs. I had figured it was as good as I was going to get in my life. After almost 600 lbs 415 wasn't horrible. Sure I couldn't fit into booths, sure little kids would run screaming from me. But I wasn't housebound anymore and I had a pretty damn good life.

    I didn't join for health reasons, or to live better, or any really good reason. I did it because I have an amazing thing coming up in my life that will require me to fly to the other side of the country, and I wanted to lose enough weight to do that.

    As of today I've lost 48 lbs on MFP in about 80 days. I've been able to do it because mostly the tracking ability, but also because I have a lot of people who have my back on here.

    I'm at the point now where I'm walking over 2.5 miles, I'm exercising. I worked damn hard for those 48 lbs, and I'm thinking that 'fitting my fat *kitten* on an airplane' isn't where I want to end up. I'm thinking of a goal weight of 200. I'm thinking that getting out of obese is possible and doable, and I didn't even think that after the surgery.

    Hi.

    I'm Howie
    I'm Fat
    I had stomach surgery.
    I'm still 367 lbs.
    How the hell are you doing?
