Down 108 lbs and ran my first official 5K race this weekend....
Requested this bib # to remind me where I started this journey!
After the race...
Check out that awesome RV in the background
Who was that guy last year???
My airplane now leaps off the ground, I fit in the seat and not half off of it, I can actually use the armrest and my passengers have much more room!
Vision has improved (more stable blood sugar), BP is always below normal even though I am almost off all BP meds, resting heart rate is now in the mid 50's, total cholesterol is now 104, triglycerides are normal for the first time ever!
I am averaging jogging ~18 miles a week. This is shocking to me since before I could not jog across the room without getting winded!

Dang, son. Not sure I would have recognized you! Keep up the good work.

You know, Brian, maybe it's too soon to be asking this question, but what do you think was harder, building the airplane or losing all this weight? I can see that both journeys have their similarities, and my guess is that the same disciplines and determinations that got your airplane built probably apply here as well!
This is a great story, buddy. Good for you.

Wow, you look like your height has shrunk, too! Good for you, Brian. My mitral valve might still be with me had my weight and blood pressure been under control when I went through some family stress issues.
You should feel like a "new you!" Congratulations!

Man! I can just imagine how good you must feel about your situation and how you took control and made it happen! Congratulations.
