Best of luck

that's great Mike, I 'm glad you are happy with your progress. Best of luck with it

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Great for you
I know a guy who was over 550 lbs, had that surgery about 3 years ago, is about 225 now and no health problems.

Yeah Mike,
Mikey's right, you do look like ten years younger now, then when I met you four years ago (that's 14 years, so I beat my brother in the compliment department)!
I've been fighting the good fight myself just with the diet and excercise, and you're right, you and your loved ones feel better every day.
Keep it up, bro.
Later,
Rick
