I promised my youngest son I would do something about my weight/health at Thanksgiving 2012. I was contemplating WLS but was afraid so I went back to WWers. I had lost on WW many times but never stayed on the Program. always gained back what I had lost PLUS MORE! Reached 376# at age 65!

My five year anniversary is coming up and I weighed 188.8 this week, I have lost 187.4# I now weigh my High School football playing weight!

Weight Lose by year:
2013 -60
2014 -32
2015 -16 (focused on NOT gaining back)
2016 -37
2017 -42 with two weeks left

    Well done! Another testimony that age doesn't matter. I lost half (almost) my weight at age 59-61.

    Well done! You are an inspiration to all of us "old timers." I should introduce you to my husband, he just can't get motivated.

    I want to congratulate you. It is my son who has motivated me as well. I hope to be as successful as you. So many times I have tried but this time I am down 30 plus pounds and don't plan on going back.

    Congratulations, Jim! It's been a pleasure to have been with you through GOAD as you accomplished your goals. As you know, things were a little "rocky" at the start :p but you quickly became a valuable part of our (somewhat?) dysfunctional family.
