It's Been A GREAT Week!
Sep 18, 2009
Well, I am very happy to say that I have had a great week so far. I have had eaten very healthy meals and snacks all week and have had five consecutive days of going to the gym and exercising (mostly cardio stuff). While I hope that I have lost a little weight this week (I’ll weigh myself on Monday) I do know that I feel really good right now.
After seeing everyone’s before/after pictures, I decided that I wanted to take a lot of pictures of myself at my current weight so I can reference them later to see how much I have lost or if I need a pick me up. Well, I think that I have gone a little overboard with the picture taking. Over the past few days, I think that I’ve taken over 100 pictures of myself in various states (dress, in underwear, nude, from the front, side, back, etc.)
Like most of you did (or currently do) I really do not like the way I look. While I recognize that I will look better in the future after losing the weight, I am genuinely repulsed by the way I look now. My wife thinks that I am crazy, but that’s honestly how I feel. I bet that this feeling in a fairly common one amongst the OH community.
If you are interested in seeing my before pictures, click on the link I am attaching below to my FLICKR page. I believe that I set up all of the filter correctly so no one will see anything that they were not suppose to. If I missed something, please let me know.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Here I Go ...
Sep 16, 2009
For those who do not know me (which should be just about everyone since I am new to the site) my name is Dan. I am so glad that I FINALLY signed up for OH. In my brief time here, I have already met a number of wonderfully supportive people with a wealth of information to share.
Now a little bit about me. I am a 36 year-old married father of two who has battled his weight most of his life. While my weight does not prevent me from leading an active, enjoyable life, I am not happy with the way I look and feel and am ready to do something about it.
This blog will serve as a way for me share my weight loss experiences (the good, bad, and ugly) over the coming months and years. I am going to create albums to document my weight loss pre/post surgery and include some on this blog as well.
I am a very friend, open person, so please feel free to drop on by to say hi or ask me anything you want.
Some vital stats:
Height – 5 foot, ten inches
Current Weight – 251 lbs
Ideal Weight – 165 lbs – 175 lbs
Waist – 44 / 46
