Just realized.

In 2008 I weighed in at a super chubby 310 pounds (you should see the picture).

This weekend, I got down to 155 pounds.

I've decreased my body weight by 50%.

Crap!

I've been pretty lucky.

Had an amazing surgeon, great nutrionist, and very supportive partner.

And I did rock my sleeve.

 WOW!  That's really amazing.  I"m sure the running has helped too.  Having support at the doctor and at home is so important.
