Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments!  Ive had several goals that i posted on my profile to meet and this has been the hardest one to achieve.  im gonna have to put some more goals out there and keep myself challenged! 

its funny i was just talkin to ya saying how hard that last few pounds to onerland were SOOO HARD and it just happened!   you will get there my sexy friend!

I reached my goal of ONDERLAND which is to get a weight of ONE HUNDRED SOMETHING!!!!

This 18 month journey has been a whirlwind!  I still cant believe it was 18 months ago where i was walking around getting tired out after walking 10 minutes!  Now i look at myself and im a different person, a confident person, excited about life. Knowing my life is just gonna get better!  I went out first date with a beutiful woman 2night.  We really clicked and i cant wait to see her again. I think when i was 360 would i have even been able to talk to a woman like that? probably not. And she thought i was cute, lol!  I was a great caring guy then as i am now.  But what has changed is the confidence i have in myself.  I know I have an awesome life ahead of me and i know i can offer much to my future mate and to all of my friends and family.  In some ways i have not changed, but in many ways this weight loss journey has changed my life not only in weight, but in everything that has to do with my life.  For all of you out there considering whether to do this surgury...i say DO IT....it will change your life!

Hello all!

I know I have not posted lately and dont get in here like i used to.  But i wanted to tell you about my exciting goal achieved.  i lost 150 lbs and am now at 210 pounds!   And i only have two more pounds to go to no longer be in the "OBESE" category.  I will soon be in the "overweight" category.
Take a look, i put a couple of new pics out there!
How did i do it?
1) Follow the band rules!   you know the ones.   If you follow the basic rules you will loose.  some might be slow, some might be fast.   I know i wasnt perfect on this, but i basically followed them
2) excersize - when i was fatter i had all kinds of excuses not to excercise. (arthritus in ankle was my big one).  well  what i find is the more you loose, the more you enjoy getting out and excersize.    you dont have to excersize on things you dont like.   i recently took up salsa!  its a TON of excersize and its a total blast!
3) stop eating when you are full.  you dont know how many times before the band where i would eat just to eat even though i wasnt hungry.   i pay much more attention now to when im full or not.
4) dont graze - i still have problems with this....but if you graze graze on better stuff.  i love to graze on peanuts...its ok, but i can get carried away!
Anyway   just wanted to say hi to everyone....i look out there and there are so many new people that i dont know anymore, and there are some people i do.
feel free to PM me and i will respond!

I know im kind of late on this challenge, but do you mind if i join? 
i reached my goal on the thanksgiving day challenge early so i thought i would join this one
also.
im   217 lbs now....i would like to be 210 lbs by christmas which would be 150 lbs total loss!
Wish me luck!
