Just a quick Hello

Greetings, Men!

Haven't been on in a long long time, but just wanted to swing through and say hello to everyone.

For the old-timers, I hope you're all doing well. For the newbies I hope you are finding a lot of strength and encouragement here.

Things are going well on my end. As of today, I am currently down to 190# and a BMI of 25.7

In consideration of all the excess skin I'm carrying around, I think I can live with those numbers!

Good luck to all.

Danny

Starting Weight: 440
Starting BMI: 63.1

Today: 190, 25.7

Congrats on your success!!

Dan,

The day of my surgery in February, I went in at 412. One year later I was 225ish. The best encouragement I can offer you is to follow your doctor's orders, EAT protein and DRINK WATER like they are the only two substances on earth, and get out there and exercise. WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK. As unimaginable as it may be today, you will find within a few weeks that you will want to be outdoors getting in as much sunshine and fresh air as you possibly can. And, you'll actually be able to enjoy it.

Damn Bob!!

You're doing great yourself. Now that things are finally starting to stabilize a little bit in my world, I may just stop by a little more often. Are any of the other "Old FARTs" still around?
