So as of stepping on the scale yesterday I am now half the man I use to be.. Literally... I was at one point in my life at 418 pounds. Just before surgery I was at 362. Yesterday I weighed in at 209 so 153 pounds gone since surgery and 209 overall. Talk about feeling like an entirely different person!

I am still loosing weight at this point at a rate of 1 to 2 pounds per week. April 3rd will be my 1 year since surgery and this has been one crazy ride!

I decided to Celebrate this milestone and picked up a new road bike yesterday. Who would have thought I would be riding one of those bikes with the skinny tires or riding a bike at all.... Not me thats for sure!!

Congrats !! That's amazing.

What an inspiration you are. Enjoy the new you!.

Way to go !!!!

GOOD for you!

Thanks all!

Incredible! Huge congrats!

That's so awesome!! Great job!

WOW!!! You deserve a new "toy"!!! Congrats!

Thing is I am not trying to lose anymore but it keeps coming off so I am not fighting it for now. I'm working out so much these days that I feel like I am constantly eating...

I'm a year out too and what an amazing journey it had been 1 year yesterday and 103 pounds lost!! Good job and your almost to onederland!!

yes, I understand the part about constantly eating. Not such a bad thing you know. Eating small high protein meals every 2-3 hours is the only way to reach both protein and caloric goals in order to "burn the fat and feed the muscle" (borrowed from natural body builder Tom V).

@@wholenewlife in ever thought in a million years I would get anywhere close to onderland.. Congrats to you on your 1 year success as well!!

@@Fiddleman your right eating all the time is not so bad it just seems odd to me at times when I am losing weight but eating like there is no tomorrow. Don't get me wrong I know my body needs the fuel right now so I think I will get over it!!
