I'm starting on my journey. I have a surgical date 7/29/08 and my approvall from Horizon BC/BS of NJ I live in Sussex county I travel alot. I am a service rep for a large pump company. I go from Eastern VA up into Canada on the east Coast. All large industrial pumps. I would like to find a mentor to have some one with experiance to talk to about the journey as I go along. My BMI was 43, before the six month weight loss program, and now it is at 40. I need to loose another 60 lbs getting me down to around 200 at 5'8" I am a male (hence the jersey boy moicker), married with two grown children and two fantastic grandchildren. I ride a motorcycle, fish, hunt, and play golf when I have time.
