91 down, 10 to go to target, Nov 10 will be 6 months post-op!

I am putting on the full-court press from this point to get to 101 lost in 6 months. I have decided to go past it another 10 or so because I can see 218 will still be a little heavier than I want at 5 11 1/2. However, until November 10th it's going to be 700-800 calories a day again (down from 1000-1100 now) I truly want to grab the brass ring in 6 months! Anyway, follow me at my external blog:

    Michael, I love reading stories like yours because I am 4 days post op and I am already loving being 20lbs lighter. 10 before the op and 10 after. I started at 335lbs and I want to get to 190. My story is I was in a motorcycle accident and I was paralized and had to learn how to walk again. But I had nerve damage and the pain pills where leaveing my system to fast and so they slowed down my motabalisam. I aslo wasen't walking so I gained 200lbs in two months and that also messed up my liver by taking on that much wait in so little of time. Now I am 4 years of my accident and I am ready to loose the weight! Thanks for your story
