I still hate to get my picture taken.

Here I am around Thanksgiving 2010, size 52 pants, XXX shirt - both are tight

And here I am today 11 months later ~170 lighter. Size 38 pants and Large shirt - and both are baggy:

The sleeve WORKS!

Yes the sleeve sure does work and so have you! You look awesome! Congrats on your success!

Rootman! WAY TO GO! What a great success story and photos. You have a lot to be proud of. I wish my hubby would have surgery too but he refuses.Says he can do it on his own without surgery. That's what I thought too, but for 20 years I lost and gained the same 60 pounds over & over again. I know I can't pressure him, he has to make his own decision but I pray that he will decide to do this. I am trying to do all the right things and be a good example but I know at the end of the day I can only control what I do and others have to do the same.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, truth be told we all CAN do it on our own, but the FACT is that we WON'T. I just had to face it that I needed something more than a diet to get results. BP, blood sugar, cholesterol, heart rate, blood ox levels and weight - all are in acceptable levels today.

Keep after hubby, let him know you want him around for a while longer. I know it's tough for a guy to accept the fact he needs help.

You look great!!!! Thank you for the pictures. I love to see the before and after shots!!

Congrats!!!!!! Wooooow!!!!!!! I'm glad it works 'cause I'm getting one on the 16th!

GREAT JOB! CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Great job Rootman. Proud of you. Cant wait to be in losers club with you.

Congrats on the weight loss! Nice to see your smiling face. This picture of the bike was nice - but it's good to have your face to match all of the great comments you make.
