This is the new me! here I am 215 pounds. this other pitcher is me in my old hunting cloth from last year!

I, am 95 pounds down and losing. I will under go simple knee surgery in the morning scoping my right knee. as I have Torn cartlidge.

Looking back at the last eight months fighting temptation of food has been a strange journey thinking that your dying for food all the time in reality I was eating myself to death, thinking I needed it. I did but in smaller portions.

more self control ( hey I have that now....) also looking back Id really like to thank all the fine caring people that have gave me good idea's and most of all support when needed! ( Thank You )

I was averaging 9 too 14 hours aweek exercising mostly walking. I have walked out a pair of reeboks

well every one I only hope that you will all meet your weight loss goals.

most of all God bless every one!
