I feel like a new person.

I was pushing 300 pounds. I'm tall - 6' 2'' and knew I was heavy, but didn't do anything about it. Then, about a year ago, I was feeling really bad. I had no energy, was just really lethargic. So, I decided to see my doctor for checkup. He did an EKG on me, and told me that I had a ''silent heart attack.'' I was alive, but this stunned me into reality.

I started losing 3-5 pounds a week. This was January, 2007. I reached my goal of losing 109 pounds on October, 2007!

I feel like a new person. I lost 5 inches off my chest, 13 and a half inches off my waist, nearly 9 inches off my hips, 5 inches off my thighs and 3 inches and half off my arms. Now I'm on the maintenance phase and I vow never to let myself get like that again.
