You look great!

Re: 2 years out (or near enough)
WOW what a transformation. I am also glad that you have stuck around. Many times after we get in this a year or so we get so busy having a life again that we forget to come in to encourage others. Your words were a big help to me when I first started my journey 15 months ago and I can only hope that I inspire others as I walk my journey. I know so many say that men lose weight faster then women, well if that is true then I must be a woman on the inside. It has been slow process but it has been a process that has worked so I am not complaining at all. I am currently sitting at my lowest weight of my adult life but that is still about 70lbs away from "normal" BMI. Godspeed on your journey.
LIFE is NOT a Spectator SPORT!!
Highest weight ----343 lbs 2008
First Consult weight--288 lbs 3/10/13
Surgical weight ---266 lbs 5/10/13
Lowest adult weight 237 lbs 12/03/13
