My RNY and my New Life

Read through this inspirational thread today. Wow, is all I can say. I weighed 218 when I retired from the Navy and I thought that was bad.

I lost 40 lbs since then and have maintained it for almost a year now. I'm about 177-178 today (haven't weighed myself in a couple days). I did it by exercising and counting what calories I burned and consumed.

The loseit! app helped me do that.

Anyhow - excellent work, brother. You should be proud of your accomplishment and the discipline it took to get there. I have a co-worker who had that surgery and he's still pretty fat, although he did drop 125 or so. (I think he was 400+)
