I made it this morning. I jumped on the scale and it read 198.2lbs. Yippee:thumbup::thumbdown::thumbup:

This has been an incredible journey since February 2009 and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon, I have a whole new me. I love my band. I feel great with the amount of food I am eating and the weight is still coming off. I am only about 15 pounds from goal and think at this rate it should be done in about a month or so.

I am shifting the goals that I am striving for from weight and BMI to Body Fat % as measured from a hydrostatic test. I was just tested on Friday and my Body Fat % is 22.3% right now which is “Average” for a male my age. I am starting a workout routine that I am hoping will increase my muscle mass as I continue to lose fat mass in an effort to get my Body Fat % down to 15% which is considered “Ideal” for my age. Assuming I can lose fat and not muscle, that should put me at about 180lbs.

I’m so excited:thumbup:
