Hi all... just thought I would share a little of my weight loss journey. I'm almost at the halfway point. My heaviest was 526 lbs, and I currently weigh 369. I've had a couple of bumps in the road, but don't we all. I didn't think I'd ever be able to get started, much less keep it going. I'm the type to avoid mirrors, but I caught a look at myself and had a moment of clarity: my face really shows the weight loss!

My goal weight is 180, which might seem high, but I'm 5'10", and have always has a medium, but solid build. I'll know when I get there is that is the right place to be. For now, that is the magic number.

People are welcome to friend me, but I'm a sporadic MFP user, meaning I'll be active for a while, and then a month or two will go by. It's up to you ;-)

    Thank you for the inspiration, my friend! I have 100 lbs to lose and was bumming today because after a month of working out and dieting, I've only lost 1 stinking pound but you've already lost 157 and I'm assuming that because you have persevered and not given up!! Puts things in perspective for me :)

    GREAT JOB!!
