in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself!

Im Gary, im 34 and from Staten Island, NY.

I started my weightloss journey in May 2009 when I joined Weight Watchers online. I started at 476.6 lbs and my last official weigh-in, I was down to 272.6 for a total of 204 lbs lost. I am looking to get down to around 225 so Im almost there!

I enjoy running and a personal goal of mine is to to complete the ING NYC Marathon!

I created a website www.500lbs2marathon.com which I use to chronicle my journey and to hopefully motivate and inspire others to get healthier and more active.
