AWESOME!!! Way to go, Jimbo!! You have inspired me to not give up on my ultimate goal. You stayed with the basics and proved it can be done. I am fast approaching my 1yr surgery aniversary and I am not going to make the goal I had planned, but I will have lost 180 pounds by then so I am proud of that. I hope that by the time I am 18 months out I will be to goal as I have 70 pounds to go to my ultimate goal. I will continue to cheer for you as I plug along. I hope to keep seeing you post your progress as it helps me stay on course.

So proud of you and Dr. C's team/program.

Thanks! I feel it is important to set goals.....don't have to be "scale" related....get in more protein, move more, drink more water, stay "low carb", get more sleep, etc. The good thing about these "mini goals" is........they "reset" everyday! Most important is......don't beat yourself up, if you don't meet "goals" This is a "slooow" dance! It took us years to gain it.......might take us awhile to lose it too! Good luck! Keep up the good work!

I have to say......after reading this post and going to your profile, I got the strongest urge to clap and cheer for you......ok confession, it wasn't just an urge but I actually did that lol. You have come so successfully far in your journey which is not only awesome for you but when sharing your story becomes such a valuable inspiration and motivator to others. You rock jimbo, I wish you nothing but success all the way down to your personal goal!!!

Jimbo,

You are amazing and such an inspiration! My BMI was nearly 71 when I started and I hope to be where you are at 17 months. I shall use your example to keep me going.
