Well I was going to save this as a surprise for next years Expo..but I just can not contain myself...

January of 2010 when I was admitted to hospital for my stent procedure I weighed in at 322...a personal high and disappointment to say the least..

over the next few months I managed to get it down to where I've been for the last 6 years or so...mid 300's but could never manage to break 310...it was frustrating...

After JuJu's great success with Nutri-SystemD program I went on the Silver program...that was around July 10th...@311 pounds

At the Expo I was tilting 300 mark...a few days after I reached my first goal and was dancing on the ceiling so to speak I hit 299!!

Here it is the end of August and this morning I hit...TADA
282....

Total from beginning of year of 40 pounds lost!!

and from July 10th a total of 29 pounds...on the Nutri-System.

Could have done better I think..it is tough to keep to the meal plans at times, but I manage the best I can...

I maybe still ugly, but I am a slimmer ugly...*LOL*

My goal is 225 by years end....

OMG... here is a thread in the general section we need to move it.

Seriously though OVM, you need to go on my diet, you will lose weight and feel good.

Oh yea, good going. BUT you don't drive a truck, right?

Congrats, OVM, on making the smart choice: feeling better about yourself is a lot more satisfying than Popeye's!
It IS tough to eat healthy on the road, and you deserve a pat on the back for making the effort. :)

Good Job Ken! Most know about my issues back in Jan. As of last week I'm down to 205 pounds from 278 pounds, My BP is now normal and off meds. My Diabetes is well under control and I hope to be off the pills on my next Doctors visit,and I just feel great! Knee pain is gone,back pain is just about gone! I have 5 more pounds to go to reach my Goal.for those that are doing the math that's 73 pounds in 8 months!

When I hear stories like this I can't help but picture having to carry around a large bag of top soil twenty-four hours a day--getting out of bed with it, climbing out of the tub, getting in and out of the vehicle. There's no going back OVM. Good job.
