Jon, welcome to ONEderland!!

198.4 and counting. Final goal should probably be around 180 or so, but there's going to be some toning involved at some point, so I'm not so much worried about being a proper BMI but getting better in shape and looking the part. My numbers put me at 112.6 pounds lost since I started loading on June 8th, 2011. Roughly 80-85 lost in two HCG rounds, with the rest coming off in life phases and maintenance phases. I feel really confident that I've changed my lifestyle for the better now.

Oh Jon I am beyond happy for you. What you have done is not easy and I have the utmost respect and admiration for you.

Heather even clicked into ONEderland right before starting weaning. Good times in this house. Roughly 220+ pounds lost combined.

Amazing Jon!! I am so very happy for both you and Heather. And to have maintained during the holidays is definitely a testimony to your detrmination and perserverence. It has definitely been an awesome journey and thanks to HCG, we all rock!! I completed my journey after one last round in January with a total 86 pounds lost. Started January 2011 at 228 and ended February 2012 at 142.4. I am also working on the toning this year and trying to be as diligent on that end as I was losing the weight last year. Keep up the great work and it is so nice to hear from you and know you are doing well

Coming up on nearly the one year anniversary of starting all of this, the numbers just seem mind boggling. I'm near 196.0 right now (with a low of 195.0) and I'm continuing a downward trend, although it's a little slow. Can say I've been doing good and keeping things decent. I got on the scale on that first day of loading at 310.6 pounds. That's a loss over the year at nearly 116 pounds (115.6). I only did two rounds (as stated above), but I learned a heavy amount of things about myself during Phase 3/4 (I consider them the MOST important of phases to relearning how to eat "normal" food again).

I shake my head at myself when I see some of my "before" pictures and can't even believe I let myself get into that bad of shape up to that point. The point now is that it's changed and so have I. Here's to elongating my lifespan.
