Hi all,

It's my turn to be under 200 lbs for the first time in oh, I don't know 26 years!!!!! I can hardly believe it. I wanted to take a picture of the scale, but my bathroom floor looked too dirty to share:) After trying unsuccessfully with my band for a few years, only getting down to 237 at my lowest. To be down 71 lbs in under 6 months for a "slow" loser like me in truly amazing. Even more amazing is when I think I used to weigh 400 lbs. I'm never going back, and I'm willing to do the work to make sure that doesn't happen. I log on almost every day to OH to read your inspiring, hopeful and sometimes sage stories, and garner advice. I know the vets on OH have been instrumental to my success, without them I might be eating around my sleeve with slider carbs just because "I can". No way, I want to see this through to my goal. Thank you all!!! My signature took a dump, and for some reason I wasn't unable to update it anymore. I deleted it, but now I have nada:( This page even looks funny paragraph-wise - sorry:(

HW: 390, HbandW: 340, LbandW:237,
