Hey friends!

One year ago I started my journey to health & fitness. I began at 504 lbs., and currently weigh 232 lbs. I've lost 272 lbs this year. I'm going to Celebrate with some plastic surgery in the coming months.

I live outside of KC, MO. My surgeon was/is tremendous, and this forum has been also been so inspiring.

I've gained insight and perspective as you've shared your journeys with me...so, I thought I'd share back! :-)

All the best to each of you!

Daniel you must have amazing commitment and resolve. The emtional and physical hardship you must have had before is gone.As an obese person, I know we are often perceived as weak. What incredible strength you have. I have my surgery on 9/13..seeing your success as well as others is really helping me to prepare for my path. Thank you.

You look great!

Note to self: I don't have to take this day all at once but rather one step, one breath and one moment at a time. I am only one person.

BirdDog,

Thank you. Best of luck on your surgery. If I can do it, so can you!

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
