Hi, I know you from another board, and I just want to tell you I'm proud of you for being brave, posting your photo, and making the decision to lose the weight. Your heart is thanking you this very minute! Keep it up, you'll make it. Look at the other Before and After pics for motivation. You're going to feel so much better and your girls will be be so proud and grateful that you're not letting the weight take over your life. Please stick with the program even when you are tempted not to, and if you have problems with it here and there, read these boards for advice. It works!

Best of luck to you and to us all!

I finally shaved my playoff beard this past week. I was in disbelief over the loss to the cards. It still hurts ... but we look deadly going into next season! E-A-G-L-E-S! EAGLES!!

Looking forward to your success!

Good for you PD on the start of your journey!
Maybe you could start off gently by walking to places instead of jumping into the car. My dad had the same surgery and hated walking at first but before he knew it he was walking for miles.......and enjoying it!

Everybody seems so good on this site and i'm 100% certain you will get so much support from everyone and make it to your goal. Good luck x x x

I have decided that I will post my next picture when I hit 280... that's 30 pounds from the time of the first picture, and there should be some visible change by then.

Good for you! I am so proud of you and how unselfish of you to think of your beautiful babies...the most important example to a girl, young lady or woman is the example her father has set for her. I can still see the gleam in my Daddy's eyes when I tell him...Daddy why can't I find a man like you..(and my Dad is in his 70's!)...being a good example for your daughters will allow them to live healthly and happy and allow you to be with them for a long time...to see their accomplishments in life and pick them up for their falls. What a grand Dad you are...and I am sure they are very proud of you...I am.

Keep it up...don't be ashame...BE PROUD...you are doing a good thing...and congrats on your 10 lbs...its just the beginning...
