100 and 40!

I thought it was only fitting that my 100th post of 2012 should be another significant number milestone in the family.  John has officially lost 40+ pounds since August!  He weighed in at 229 pounds on Sunday and isn't stopping there.  He is on a mission to see if he can get below 200 pounds.  Even though the weight isn't coming off as quickly as it had in the very beginning, he is still running at Safari Island several times a week and tracking all the Calories he consumes every day with the exception of his weekly free day.  (Tonight he is at Wildfire with all the EP HD's management and eating porterhouse steak for free.  I think that's as good excuse as any to use the free day card!)  I have every ounce of faith in him that he will dip below the 200 pound mark.  It might take 5-6 more months but I know he can do it!

So far John has dropped from a 42" pant size to a 38" and we also need to start switching out shirts from XXL to XL.  John's not so used to tight fitting shirts but I know he will look good in something a little more form fitting.  The only downside to the weight loss is now his wedding ring is too big!  It's scary to think that it sometimes comes close to falling off just by washing his hands!  I still cannot get mine back on so maybe we'll just have to get ours re-sized at the same time...

And just so you don't think I'll get in trouble for posting before pictures - John specifically asked that I find good pictures to compare to.  We never officially took good before pictures so I did the best I could!
