When i was a teen i was 6' tall and wieghed in at a whooping 136#, I was so skinney my family called me JJ from Goodtimes. I did not start gaining weight untill i was 20, and then it was blamo I ballooned to 230. After a Short stint in the Navy i was down to my best weight for me at the time 207. Shortly after getting remarried i was diagnosed with MS ( 17 years later they found the real problem), and with all the steroids i was given i went to 300 in 6 months I have bounced between 300 and 350 for the last 20 years. 3 years ago they found a large tumor growing in my spine (this is what was causing the MS symptoms) I had 2 surgeries to put metal rods in and then used rib bone on the other side of my back to basicly splint the area. they then filled the tumor with bone cement to stop it's growth. Fast forward to the present i was at 350 and my back was always hurting so I have undertaken this journey to wellness, and boy am i glad. My back still hurts but not as bad as before and getting better every day and i have only lost 61 pounds, just think what it will be like when i loose another 90. I just cant wait.
