The 200s are in my sights!

So to give some background, at my heaviest in 2007 I was at 423 pounds. When I started by WLS journey I was at 383. I had my three month post op appointment on Tuesday and weighed in at 312 pounds. My surgeon said I did great considering I survived the holidays and lost 16 pounds. Now I have a milestone in my sights, leaving the 300s and breaking into the 200s. I think the last time I was under 300 pounds was probably in my mid-20's when I spent a small fortune on a personal trainer and went from 330 to 245. I appreciate any words of wisdom, advice or encouragement in taking down this first big milestone.

Well, wanted to update and let you guys know that I finally hit the milestone.

Under 300!

Weighed in at 298.9 lbs this morning. Considering that at my heaviest I was over 400, being able to say I am under 300 feels great! Thanks for all the support.

This is great, Brant! Yippee! What a milestone to cross over into the two hundreds. Excellent.
