Default Pillsbury Dough Boy

Well my dough boy hasn't disappeared yet, but as of Friday I am at my lowest weight since I can remember starting to weigh myself in 8th grade. I recollect freshmen year in high school being at 251 and never being able to lose weight.

As of today I'm at 252.4 Down 54 lbs since the day I had surgery a wee bit over 3 months ago and down 67 lbs since one month before I had surgery.

I feel different but I have a long way to go still.

My biggest goal. Since I love excercise, especially long distance open water lake swimming, I love to have my shirt off. My goal, to lose the boobs, they are genetic and I've had them since I was a boy..we'll see what weight loss and excercise can get rid of..and the rest..well maybe under the knife some day.

I've documented my story so far under Personal Stories with thread heading of Messinger's Diary. Thought Id' share some pictures here.
