5 months later

 Today is 5 months since my surgery, and I couldn't be happier. Down almost 70 pounds now, gained a ton of muscle since really starting to exercise in earnest a month or so ago, and feel the best I have in my entire life. At this point, I weigh less than I did than when I was 12 (32 now), isn't that crazy?

Anyways, here's a little before and.. well, not after because I'm still going .. but "5 months later". And I can't say thank you enough to everyone here, this site and this forum has been there for me through this entire process, and it really is incredibly valuable.
