Hello Everyone,

I made it, today I reached my goal of 215 pounds (214.8 pounds actual weight). I have not been on in a while been busy living life. My son and I took a trip in September and went to see Carol (Keys Pirate) and her husband Rich down in the Florida Keys, we had a great time scuba diving in the Keys, thanks Carol and Rich for showing us around. Now it is hunting season in Arkansas so I have been busy chasing whitetail deer.

I started trying to maintain my weight between 217 and 220 to make sure I could do that before I went down further to make sure I had that under control. I was able to so I came on down just to say I made it, family and friends are not wanting me to go anymore because they say I'm getting too small, WOW from too FAT to too SMALL, I can live with that. But I don't want to start looking sick so I am going to stay in the 215 to 220 range.

Thanks to my Lord, Dr. Aceves and the posters on this site for all the help.

Good Luck to everyone on your weightloss journey.

Congratulations Gary -- I too hope you'll keep posting occasionally so we can hear how great you're doing Congratulations again!

WOOHOO!!!! Gary, you rock!!!! I knew you would do it soon!! You look absolutely fantastic, by the way, I could not believe my eyes when you were here. Rich was especially stunned! He's up to 50 pounds down but is doing it the hard way... again! So proud of you, of all of us! You guys need to plan on coming down again, anytime. Me, I'm still hanging at 101 lost - goal was 104 but I just pulled that number out of my head. I've been fluctuating between 153 and 156 for some time now. If the remaining three pounds comes off, fine but if not, that's fine too. Probably tmi but it's only coming off my boobs now and I can't spare any more! so I really do think my body is where it wants to be.

YIPPPPPEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!

Say hey to Larry for us!
