At one point, I weighed 275lbs. That was almost 20 years ago and only lasted a short period of time. After that year, I dropped back under 235, where I've stayed for the rest of my life. So, I guess I HAVE lost over a hundred pounds, but it took 17 years to do it.

Yes, my poll is flawed (I am beginning to dislike the word POLL - maybe its the okie accent when I say it outloud) but you guys got the point. Time is an interesting concept. I can remember thinking at one point when I was the largest - While I may not be able to add much to my life in terms of quantity by losing weight, I am certain I can improve the QUALITY of my life by doing so. I can honestly say that I have done that and it continues to improve. This is like many of the things in life that fall under the category "the journey is more important than the destination." Many people who take shortcuts on the way to health and wellness often find themselves lost and back where they started or worse.
