GGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL !! !!

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!

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.

You are a freak of nature!!!  I'm in awe at your progress.  Congrats!

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 *****!

Congratulations - That is a fantastic amount to lose in such a short time. Make sure you keep your vitamin and protein levels up

Great job man, that's a helluva accomplishment!

Best of luck!
