Rich,
I am so Happy for you. Your weight loss is proof of how hard you have been working. Your health improvement is part of the total you are gaining. You have lost in 6 months what it has taken me a year to do.
I am also working to loose weight, and have passed my 1 year mark on 11/11 a total of 86 lbs. I know how hard you are working! The mental part is the roughest. I still reach for food when stressed. 326lbs. to 238lbs. takes a lot of getting used to(for all those around us) and is worth the effort. I am now at 53 the size I was at 27. Keep up the Good Work!!
