Nice to be on board!

[FormerFatty]

I’m very glad that I decided to joined your cool site. About 3 ½ years ago, I underwent open gastric bypass surgery which was a great success. In approximately two years, I've lost over 200 lbs and looked and felt great. Unfortunately, I started slowly to put weight on again and naturally I was worried that I would balloon up to the crippling 425 lbs that once encased my frame. Fortunately, my wife Carmella (Caramella on the board) found this site about a month ago and we decided to make a pact to try to lose weight together. So far so good, for I have lost over 10 lbs. in 3 weeks! We now watch everything we eat and exercise every night (we do Wii fitness and walk for about two miles). Next week we are going back to the gym . Sometime this week, I’ll post before and after pictures of myself. I hope to hear from some of you guys soon.

Thanks!
Carlo

Welcome to the boards!! It's about time you joined!!!

BTW, I think we should change the channel on the TV. Maybe to the Olympics or First 48?

Welcome, Carlo. Sounds like you and Caramella have a good plan. Being in this with your spouse is a great recipe for success and a happy, healthy life together! Best of luck to you (both)!
