  • Out of curiosity, when you say you gain weight, is this based on a scale reading or by body measurements?

  • Oh Cherry Dr. Peppers from Sonic were my favorite too. And I'd always get the Route 44 size when it was Happy Hour. I don't miss those at all :/ Wow, never thought those words would ever come out of my mouth...

  • Good for you! You did the right thing in coming here. I have a friend who was over 300 lbs and recently lost 152 lbs over the past 2 years. It's an incredible awe-inspiring journey to see someone transform himself so completely. You can do this! What is your motivation for getting healthy? What changes have you made so far?
