Postby Mike » April 25th, 2006, 10:50 pm

Hello all. I'm Mike, Diana's hubby, and Dayna's brother-in-law (if you happen to have met those two fabulous ladies) :)
I finally decided to hop on the forum bandwagon, so here I am.
So far I have been on the program for a bit over 2 weeks and have lost 15 lbs.
I have battled weight all of my life.. literally. I finally decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which I had done in November of 2003. I was 460 lbs when I first began the weight loss process, which requires some loss before surgery. I lost 55 lbs before the surgery and then lost another 105 lbs after surgery. For the past year and a half or so I have been putting the weight back on... to the tune of about 40 lbs. Ugh!. I just let myself go and didn't follow the diet.
I decided, after seeing Diana's results, and the way she felt, that perhaps this program will work for me too.
So far, it is working well, I feel great, my energy is up, and my weight is down. Hurrah!! :D
Pre WLS 460
Low after WLS 300
Start of MF 350
Previous MF low 280
Restart MF 330


I have to be careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
