It's been one year and how things have changed for me.  I no longer have diabetes or high blood pressure or high cholesterol or sleep apnea or arthritis or all the other things related to my weight.  This has been the best thing to happen to me in my life.  I would do it all over again.  I started at 221 and I know that doesn't sound too very bad, but I am only 5-1 and I had many many medical problems.  Like everyone, I tried diet after diet and they just didn't work for me.  In one year I've lost 92 pounds and I'm at my goal. I feel better today then I can ever remember feeling.   If you have any questions or problems I will always be glad to help you, just drop me a e mail.  It's not always an easy journey, but it has been so worth it for me.
