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.

You did it! You decided that you are worth it! It sure is great to have support from friends, family and this community but in the end it is your body and I am very happy to see you treating it with the respect it deserves
Enjoy the journey, every small step is a victory and these moments (realizing you are down 100 lbs!) are sooooo surreal but amazing!!
Don't worry about how much further you feel you have to go, you already climbed the biggest hill my man, I am not saying the rest will be easy but in many ways it is auto pilot // cruise control.8 -
Fabulous and a lot of work!5

I loved reading about your accomplishment. Please keep going and turn this into a lifestyle reboot. In a weird way, it gets easier at this point if you focus less on what you give up to get to 100 and if you instead focus on embracing your new way of living positively. You should be so proud. Thank you for sharing with us.7

Keep going you will reach your goal.

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 ^_^).Just a bit of an update.

Wow!
I'm at 289 and trying to lose 50 lb before I see a doc for bilateral knee replacements. Had surgery scheduled in Jan this year but I canceled it. Hospitals overcrowded, calling in National Guard to assist, figured I didn't need to be there for elective surgery.
I am bookmarking your post so I can use it as encouragement. I won't do weight loss surgery - gotta do this on my own. Everything is me says I can do this - I just don't. Hmmm...
