I am 41 years old, and have had my lapband since August 27th, 2007. Since that time, I have lost 78 lbs. Before my surgery, I topped out at 531 lbs. I joined WeightWatchers about a year before my surgery, and I managed to keep off 30 lbs. So, in essence, I have lost a total of 108 lbs., and I want to lose more.
I am a student, pursuing my master's degree in teaching mathematics. I have taught a year of high school mathematics, but when my contract wasn't renewed, I made the decision to both lose weight and get my master's degree.
When I am not substituting or studying, I am an on-air radio personality. I help in broadcasting/producing the local high school football and baseball games. I also host a live, local call-in sports talk show and a live call-in football scoreboard show. I have been doing this for 10 years, and I thoroughly enjoy it.
My main goal in weight loss is to lose more than half my weight so I will be able to do the play-by-play of the local high school games. It is hard for me to do the baseball games because the broadcast booth is on top of the concession stand, and the ladder is only 3 feet wide and goes up at a 50 degree angle.
A friend of mine wanted my goal to be for me to lose enough weight so he and I can go the Playboy mansion. :thumbup:
