Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone,

i wanted to introduce myself as I am new to the forum...

My name is Mario I had my sleeve installed on 5/22/12 and have since lost exactly 100 LBS today! 

I am looking forward to becoming more active here as I think this will be a valuable source of info and way to express myself.

 Hey Mario! Nice to have you aboard. Congrats on that amazing weight loss. I am in preop mode, my surgery date tis Aug. 29. Can't wait to join you on the losing side!

 Thank you all for the kind words! In the first few weeks I certainly had buyers remorse, but its all been worth it for me. Even at 352 LBS now I can do so many more things that life has to offer! 

As a way of keeping motivated I have elected to run in my first ever 5K, this 5K has a twist... 
Its a Mud/Run so it will be even tougher!

I am running in late october and plannning on being 299 lbs on the day of the race which means I need to get my butt to the gym! 

Good for you! You sound very motivated! I'm sure with that attitude you will do fine.
