Well done Fish! I know how much hard work and dedication it is, Im in the midst of it as we speak, just hit the 40 pound mark and 70 is the goal so Im halfway home! Again, great job!

Oh and my wife also had surgery in December and is down 50 pounds.  She looks awesome!  Now if I could only get an overnight babysitter!

Congrats to you both on getting healthy. I'm down about 15 pounds since my last reply to this post in December. Great motivation and inspiration.

Congrats to both you and your wife!!!!

My wife started Weight Watchers in Jan and has already lost 32 lbs.  To support her I joined as well a few weeks ago, but I have only lost 3 lbs.  I asked my doc about the bypass or the band but he said that he wants me to lose 50 lbs on on my own first, before he will consider it.

We set a plan that for every pound that we lose we put $10 aside and every pound we gain back is $20 and when we get to our goal weights we are going back to the Caribbean using the money that we put aside for upgrades on the trip (i.e. first class tickets..).

Just a thought, but how about an area on here for us on losing weight/eating healthy where we can share stories and recipes?
