The Starting Point

Well, it's January 1st. Normally, I'd try to make some resolution to lose 20 lbs and get in shape but, this year, I'm skipping the resolutions. They never come to pass. I always fall off the wagon a few weeks into the year. I'm done beating myself up over failures.

In August 2011, I started the process for the sleeve. I am down to just a few more appointments over the next couple of weeks and my package can be submitted for approval. I am scared and excited all at the same time.

As of today, here are my stats:

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 226.2 lbs

BMI: 38.8

Measurements:

Waist: 48"

Chest: 48"

Hip: 50"

Arm: 14"

Thigh: 26"

Calf: 16"

I turn 40 on Dec 6th. With the help of the sleeve, I hope to weigh 125 lbs by then. Wish me luck!
