Update...

Well it's been a while, so I guess I'll update this site again. To start I had gastric bypass surgery on April 13th of this year. To date I've lost 85 lbs.!!!!!!! This time last year I was 420 lbs., and just before the surgery I weighed in at 410 lbs. As of today I'm 325 lbs. I have dropped from a 54" waist to a 46" waist. None of my clothes fit, and I gave my beautiful wife all my pants to take to the Goodwill. I feel like a whole new person. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I feel great!

With all this weight loss I can finally do things that I struggled to do before. On Saturday me and the family went hiking for the second time in a week. I was able to do the entire 5 mile hike without having to stop and rest my back, knees, ankles, or feet. I love it!

I'm really looking forward to getting back into backpacking, hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities that I had trouble doing, or was unable to do before. If anyone is interested in joining me on any of these just let me know. I'm always up for a new challenge.
