Thank you for the kind words, I am very proud and determined to get to my goal. Every time the pain starts when I'm on the treadmill or working out I just keep saying to myself "Remember this pain, remember what you are going through" I have heard of others gaining weight after long term and I don't want to ever forget what I have gone through. I do have to say I am not at all used to all the attention I get now from women, as a large guy I would flirt alot but nothing ever came of it, but now if I say something to joke around with some women they are like ok. Yikes have to put the breaks on that now lol. This is such a great feeling to talk to other people that have the same desires and success on this forum. WE Gonna ALL be skinny one day soon and then LOOK OUT WORLD CAUSE HERE WE COME!!!!!! hehehehehehe.

I had mine in Hazard, it's about an hour away. Are you excited about your journey? Let me know how you feel, and if you need anything.
