Hi everyone! I been learning so much from everyone's comments and still in the learning process. I was sleeved on 8/10/2015 and just this week I hit below 200 yaay super excited!! Haven't seen this number since 2010.

I have been following this forum for several months now. I know many of you by name, though you don't know me. (sounds a little creepy!)
Many of you and your honesty were the reason I decided to join this forum. I am very simple guy. I don't have Facebook, twitter, or whatever else is cool these days. But this forum gives me a place to vent and to learn from others.....so thank you.
I was 340 lbs when I started this journey back in June, By day of surgery (9/30/15), I was down to 300lbs. Today I weighed in at 252 LBS. I feel great, I have been working out and lifting, something I haven't done since H.S.
I started this journey for a couple a big reason, 1) for my own health and to be around longer, and 2) the big reason. MY FAMILY.
My wife is my rock, and best friend. She is greatest support I can have. My beautiful daughter, and lastly my "HERO SON". He has hard life since he was born. He was born extremely premature at 1LB-6 oz.. This year he was recently diagnosed with autism. I am doing mostly for him, because I want to be there to protect him and help him with the struggles he has every day. He is only 7 and goes through therapy every day. If he can do it...so can I.
Thank you all for reading and I hope that above doesn't sound too corny, just wanted to give a quick background on myself. This was a big step for me to join....never have belonged to any kind of online "family" before. I hope to get to know some of you more now.

Here is my video to go with my 100 pound weight loss.
I may be a little excited!

Lorri716 I would love that!

I been YoYo dieting for so many years. Back in 2009 I was 270lbs. Our company have a family party every year in October. I remember taking that picture and hiding it cause I felt so ashamed at how big I was. I remember I signed up at the gym ymca and went straight for one year. I lost 80 lbs and unfortunately letting my self get back to 253 lbs.
This year when we went to the party another picture was taken and I got my old picture out. I now have it here at my desk at work to remind myself I don't EVER want to be at that weight again. This time I don't see this journey as a diet is all about changing my eating habits and remind myself everyday to see food as fuel.

Lorri716 you are doing awesome!! Did you had any complications? I was one of the very lucky ones!! Only normal gas pain at the beginning, no nauseas, I could eat all lean meats with no complications.

Congrats on your progress! Looking great!

Congratulations!
