100 Pounds Gone

Well,

Just a little update, as of today I have lost 100.6 pounds and it feels great. I am getting my life back, doing things I have not done in years and looking forward to doing a lot more.

I am getting my Open Water Diver's Cert. renewed next month and plan to spend a lot of time underwater this summer. This is something that I loved to do 15 years ago and lost it to over eating. Friends and family are seeing me crawl under vehicles to do the work myself instead of having to ask my son or nephew to do it. Heck I can even get off the ground without having to grab ahold of something to pull myself up. I'm riding my motorcycle more, life is just great.

The vertical sleeve is the best thing I have ever done for myself. Even if I didn't get any help from my insurance company.

But you know I feel the best thing coming from this is I feel I will be on this Earth a little longer and get to spend more time with my wonderful kids and grandchild.

Once again thanks to all the people on this site for your posts, prayers and friendship.

A special thanks to my sleevebuddy Keys Pirate and her husband Rich for their friendship.

I hope everyone has a great week and good luck on your weight loss journey.

Gary
