Dude, you are in the same boat I am. May 10, 2007 started on my weight loss journey weighting in at 280lbs. Today, Sept 16, 2007 I weigh 246lbs but I have kinda faultered the past month and have not been working as hard as I did when I first started, so I decided to look for some support and found this forum. I am sure if we stick together and with this forum we will get at our goal weight of 185lbs.
