Well what to say. I have been battling my weight for as long as I can remember. Been to all the usual places, weight watchers, diet workshop, Bernstein, etc etc. Time to really work on this again. I have been approved for Gastro Bypass Surgery but really want to give this a fair shot and do it without the knife.

I wrote this apparently 7 years ago. I was approved for the Gastric bypass but just could not go thru with it. My weight has gone from 353 lbs (heaviest) down to 280 lbs in the past 10 yrs. I am seriously putting a new effort into dropping 130lbs and trying for that 180 goal. All the best to you on this path. You have a friend willing to share the journey with you!
