    Yeah. The onset of arthritis in my hips was the real wake up call for me as my ability to enjoy sports and exercise was becoming rapidly limited. The flexibility and range of motion issues are still there, but the pain is almost completely gone. Taking 160 pounds of pressure off of my hips on each step has made them much happier!

    It's gotta be more than 160 pounds of pressure…Don't know the ratio for hips, but for knees it's 1 pound weight to 4 pounds pressure, so that is 640 pounds pressure off your knees! :D Congrats! Looking great!

    You look great. No plastic surgery? If not, your skin elasticity is phenomenal.

    Nope. That plastic surgery sounds really painful. Just good clean living! And a lot of luck, apparently.

    Thanks, all! I was at my gym today (Planet Fitness), and after I scanned in, the guy at the desk, said "Robert, it looks like you've lost weight!"

    I told him I am down 170 pounds and he was happy/shocked. He told me to tell my story on their website, as they have a contest going.

    I'm probably not going to. To me, it just opens the door to "the easy way" judgment and while I have no problems having that discussion one on one, I'm not interested in learning PF's take on the issue.
