I've done it. I have lost my goal weight of 230 pounds. I have lost 24" around my waist. I have gone from a 56 to a 32 inch waist. I started last year (March 11, 2010) after I was discharged from a one week stay in the hospital. I told myself I need to loose weight or I would be back. I started off slow. I changed my eating habits and I started exercising learning along the way what worked for me in both categories. One year later, I am down to 169 -167 lbs and feel soooo much better. I am no longer on prescriptions for my heart, blood pressure, or fluid retention. Being healthy really does make a difference. I posted a before and after picture in my profile just to prove it can be done.

Next, I have hernia surgery. It happened when I was obese, and it was really not that noticeable because of my weight. Now you can really tell it is there. So because of the surgery I will not be able to exercise for 4-8 weeks. That is going to be very hard for me since I am in the routine of exercising twice every day. I plan to quit smoking at the same time as my recovery. So, I am expecting to gain a few pounds. Then work my but off to loose them again. I better since I got rid of all my big clothes. I would hate to walk around in my underwear all day (JK).
