At the start of January I went to a soccer game with some friends. I was so big I could barely make it up the stairs. My knees felt like they were gonna give out. I was getting winded showering. At my heaviest i was 388.6 pounds. My dad died of a heart attack at age 51 and the way I was going it was gonna take a miracle to hit even that. I had actually made an appointment with my family Doctor to look into weight loss surgery. I canceled at the last minute and decided to give it one more go. Started swimming since it was the only thing i could do. I was too big for exercise bikes. Im now running again! Feb.24 was the day i decided to make a change. Today I saw this number staring back at me: 288.4. I've lost 100 pounds. I can't believe it. I'm not done yet though. My goal weight is 230 so I've got a ways to go but it'll come.

I can't believe I did it.

    Just a bit of an update.

    I'm now down 121.4 pounds. Just 37 away from my goal.

    Always looking for more mutually supportive friends.
    Congratulations. Keep it up. You'll get there. All it takes is some knowledge, some willpower and some patience (which is a form of willpower as well ^_^).
