One Year Ago Today...

I had my stomach removed. As if today I have lost 174 lbs and I have 30 still left to lose. I did not reach my goal of 200lbs in one year but I was never very confident as to how feasible that was. I am still on plan and it is more of a routine than a plan at this point.

I would like to thank all of you over the past year who have taught me so much and have been there to encourage me through the tough stuff, beat me up when I stepped out if line, and give me the tough love when it was necessary. I could not have achieved what I have achieved without all of you. THANK YOU!
