    Today I type this with a tear in my eye. I never thought I would be able to reach this milestone.First, I would like to thank my wife for all her support. On jan 2010, we set out to get healthy.Together my wife and I have lost 410 or so pounds. From the start, I could not believe I let myself get to 485 as in 2002 I had lost weight before and was down to 225. At that time, I viewed it as a diet and not as the lifestyle change I see it as now. People ask me "how did u do it"? I am not going to bs you it is HARD WORK and only you have the power to CHOOSE AND LOSE! My best advice is to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME and YOU WILL SUCCEED! Check out my pics on profile if you would like to. Thanks to all the support for my MFP and add me if you think I would be able to help you on your journey! Good luck! YOU ARE WORTH IT!
