After a lot of hard work, exercise, eating right, and too much money spent on a personal trainer, I went on the scale this morning and finally have hit the 100 pounds lost mark. So, I guess I'm looking less like an opera singer and more like a penturner! Sorry to waist your time, I am just really excited![8D]

Great job Jonathan, that's impressive. I worked and worked to lose two pounds, celebrated with beer and pizza, now I am up three pounds. [xx(] Still would like to lose about 30 pounds myself, but so far I just don't seem to have the commitment. [8D]
 
Excellent, Jonathan! You are to be commended! I'm down 20 lbs since the first of the year myself. Feels good!

Scott.
 
Started working hard after a camping trip last summer with the family. Our camp site was up on a hill in the redwoods. I felt like I was going to die everytime I walked up the thing. I'm now jogging 2 miles every morning. Well, I should say WAS jogging two miles everyday, Northern California has had nothing but rain for the past month or two.
 
Congrats! I did the same thing 3 years ago. Started over 280 now I'm 175. Workout 6 days a week and never felt better. Don't live like you are on a diet, make it a lifestyle change. I have kept it off for 3 years and am probably in better shape than I was when I played!!!
 
OR....

You are just happier holding pen blanks and pen...than a stroller [:D].

LOL...kidding aside you really look much better. [^]
 
Johnathan,
Good for you my friend! That is truly an amazing task that should be commended.

Yes, my wife says I look like a college kid now. I can't tell you how happy she is, in many different ways.[;)] I've never felt better and I've never been in such good shape. I have about 30 more to go but I promised myself that I would go skydiving when I hit the 100 pound point. I'll post pics when that happens.

Thank you all for your nice comments. You all are great!
 
Congratulations Johnathon!

Very few are able to lose that much!
I'm sure it took much hard work and a great amount of will power to stick it out.
 
Congratulations, that is really something to be proud of. But, I sure hope you're not a tenor. There's an international rule about the weight of tenors for opera.[:D]
 
That is way cool! Congratulations, I agree I think you went from looking like a pen turner to looking like a college student. I very happy for you and your wife.
 
Awesome accomplishment, Jonathan! It was great to meet you when you were here last week. I never would have guessed you were heavier before- you look like you're in great shape. Have fun skydiving and... Great work!
 
Congrats Johnathan! You look great! It must be a singer thing. My wife is a soprano and she just lost 40lbs this last year. Maybe I need to start singing too! [:D]
 
Thanks everyone. Man, I feel like a buffet!

Penworks - I sure hope there is no truth in the "being paid by the pound" thing!

Gerryr - Yes I am a tenor. Do you think I'll be kicked out of the club?

[:p][:p]
 
Jonathan, what a wonderful gift to youself and your family. Keep up the good work. Your children are going to love having Dad around for a very LONG time. The best to you and keep up the great work.[;)][:D]
