 Chris,

Wow thanks so much for sharing your story!  I started my journey at 390 lbs and I hope that I can be as successful as you have been.  What an inspiration it is to see these success stories.  

Tomorrow will be my 10 week mark post op and I have lost 65 lbs so far.  I have been exercising more lately as the weight loss has really slowed down recently.  It's starting to pick up again now though thank God.  I am divorced too (14 years ago) and its just me and my daughter right now.  It's hard going through this without a significant other but I hope that one day when I'm looking better I too can find a nice young lady to fall in love with.  Seeing how happy you both look is wonderful!  It makes me a little sad that I am alone but that is OK for now and it gives me hope for the future that one day I'll be putting my pics of success and happiness up here for everyone to get inspired by!

Thanks so much for sharing your story and giving us all a little hope that we can change our life for the better.  Good for you Chris!

Thank you sir!  You know, there were times that I've felt very lonely and it's an awful feeling.  People weren't meant to be alone and I went out there and dated and met all sorts of kookie women but I was so trying to force it. My new woman just sort of fell out of the sky right into my lap like it was meant to be.  I know it's cliche, but it really happens when you least expect it.  Keep up the hard fight man, you will be there before you know it!
