Love that I am able to live life and do things I've always dreamed of but held myself back because I didn't feel good enough (too fat/big, etc).

Here's my starting weight and pic from Saturday after wrapping half trail marathon, one year and 11 days from my heaviest. Last pic is feeling good about how far I've come.

Amazing results! Nice job.

I homeschool my boys that are 6 and 7. My boys don't have helmets for their bikes and their pediatrician is aware of it. I too was raised without helmets and I saw a kid hit a brick wall going down a steep hill. He had brain damage and lost an eye. I practice Buddhism and I chose a Christian curriculum. The education is as good as private school, but cheaper. I'm a recovering addict with tattoos all over. I don't look like the typical homeschool mom. My 7 year old is ADHD and OCD. He gets one on one attention and learns quicker than he would in public schools. The education in public schools is a disgrace. I want my boys to be boys and know that sometimes life hurts, but get up and don't give up.

Mattymatt life is short and it gets shorter all the time. Do whatever will give you joy and discard the rest. No overthinking it, no second guessing. Choose what will bring contentment or even better -happiness and a feeling of accomplishment. Do it as soon as you can and good job on making changes for no one else except you:)

Cool!!

Had my 6 month follow up exercise eval & appointment yesterday. I'm at 95% excess weight lost and almost a 150 pounds down! I never would've dreamed I could be at this point. So thankful and happy!!

This happened today!!! I'm so stoked, I can finally say I'm in Onederland for the first time in almost 20 years!

Trying to level off somewhere around 210. I've been maintaining for a couple weeks and then go down a half pound or a pound. It's the flab on my gut!! I'm 90% certain I'll have TT in the winter...I feel like I won't be "complete" until that flab/skin is gone.

Best of luck in reaching your goal.

Great job so far. Love the idea of the photo comparisons. Pics don't lie when though out brains may feel otherwise.

Congrats!! Yes, there is something exciting about going below certain milestone weights. I can relate!

I'm going to guess it's the time travel. Temporal flux is hard on the body.

That’s pretty awesome. I must admit I am jealous. It says a lot about you that you were able to lose 70 pounds before surgery.

I can’t even fathom the level of awesomeness your journey is!!! AMAZING results in such a short time! You look absolutely fantastic!

You are amazing Mike! Great work! You look fantastic:)

Huh...I never heard that from my Dr. and I'm 6'5" and had the sleeve.
