Well I am 40 I have always been the big fat kid since I was little, it has ruined my life, but I managed to keep active like delivering pizza untill I started my own PC business and that change of lifestyle just sitting around working on computers really put the weight on me. I went from 375 to 566 in like 2 years and ended up with high BP in 2001 since then I have been fighting to loose weight and it took some years but I am at 500 now and ready for the surgery. Once I got over 450 I noticed that I couldn't do the same things anymore and ended up on disability, and have to sit in the car when others go in stores and stuff, I got a power chair now so I can go inside but the looks I get are heart breaking. I know it was my fault to let myself get this way, so It's up to me to get back.
I started taking Visalus (body by Vi) 2 shakes in the day and a small meal at night and that is what helped me get to 500 and trying to go to the pier and fish to get out as much as I can, that is also the reason I got the boat. to get me back active.

I totally understand what you have went through and I can say I wish I lived closer to you, cause I sure would help you and bait your hook anytime. Take care my friend.
