  • 200 Pounds Gone and Buried!

    I can't even believe this number. I never thought it possible. At my heaviest weight I weighed in at 394 pounds in 2003. Last year when I started this journey and got serious, I set what I thought was going to be a real stretch of a goal, and that was to get to 200 lbs, which was what I weighed when I was in my mid 20's. Well, I hit that on Valentines day.

    I thought, well that is it. Now I'm just going to be maintaining from here on out. However, a couple of weeks ago I celebrated being 1/2 the man I used to be when I hit 197, and today I have another celebration to announce. After having a whooshie of a week, I hit the 200 pounds lost mark!

    I owe lots of my success to all the wonderful support y'all have given me here on ADBB! You guys are the best! Thanks!
    Don
