I Re-Goaled

I am proud to say today that I am a 225 pound 38 year old man.

I started this as a 412 pound 36 year old.  I wanted to be 225 pounds.  My doctor said 230 should be the goal.  I settled for 235.  When I got there, I felt like I had to get to 225.  Today I did, nearly 2.5 years out.

I have seen several stalls, but am most proud because I feel like this last 10 pounds was as much about me as the surgery.  I have become a daily jogger- just under 3 miles every day.  I feel like I am more active father, which was my entire goal.  The number just meant something more to me personally. 

This entire process has been a blessing, but I know the surgery did it for me.  For some reason, it felt like I did some of this last push and it is the first time I have really felt proud of myself - not pity, just a function of knowing I had to do it. 

Good luck to all. 

Way to go.  Glad to hear the success.  I just started my quest at 410 and 35 yrs.  So you are an inspiration to keep going.  thanks

Awesome job. I started my journey at 426 and was 46 years old. I'm now 47 and weigh 189 pounds and am able to do things I could not do just 14 months ago. When you work the tool the tool works for us.

God bless you as you continue on life's journey.
