150 pounds gone in 6 months

October 28, 2016 I was 470 pounds and started my 2 week pre-op diet. Surgery was Nov 9th.

Today is April 29, 2017 and I was 320 pounds today. 150 pounds gone. Another 70 or so left to lose.

Surgery was the best decision I've made in years. My life has improved in so many ways.

    Goal weight I would like is 240-250. My surgeon never gave me a goal weight.

    I started swimming in November. I go before work 5 days a week for about 30 minutes. I was going to add weightlifting but I pulled a muscle in my arm a month ago moving in to my new house so I'm sticking with just cardio for a while.
