Just had to share. Stepped on the scale this morning and saw the magical # !!

I have reached my Goal of losing 200 lbs by the end of summer... took me exactly 31 weeks to the day (7 months).

January 7, 2008: 450 lbs, 52 BMI

August 11, 2008: 250 lbs, 28 BMI

I'm still about 4 BMI points above what is considered a "normal" weight so my next goal will be to weigh what I did when I met my wife...summer of 1994... 215 lbs, which is coincidentally considered a "normal" weight for my height of 6'6"...I'm shooting for any time before my 1 year surgiversary....wish me luck!

-Adam - 6'6" - From 450 lbs to GOAL in 9 months...
Phase 1: Completed 10/2008.
Phase 2: Weightlifting - Goal: Add 40 lbs of muscle. Completed 2/15/2011.
Phas 3: Cut to 10% body fat.

Awsome, Adam!! Congratulations.

It's always great to see us setting a new goal even after hitting a biggun'. Keep on pushing, brother.....215 is right around the corner.

Thanks....maybe this is payback for the terrible complications I had with the surgery.

Oh and I had some "wonderful" news at my 7 month checkup last week...as expected...

I HAVE A HERNIA!

The complications might have given you a head-start, but you still couldn't have done as well as you have just because of that. Still, if anyone deserves payback, you do!

Good luck with the hernia: I understand that's pretty common after massive weight loss, but it's still a *****!
