How nice to see this old thread and remember how I felt a year and a half ago! Yes, some of us who posted in that thread are still here and still losing. When I wrote that post in February 2003, I had just broken through the 300 pound barrier. Now I am below 250 pounds. It has been a long journey, and I'm still far from goal, but the improvement in my quality of life has continued every step along the way. Now, not only can I walk around a shopping mall for many hours (my big achievement a year and a half ago), but I can hike in the mountains and ride a bicycle (something I hadn't done for many, many years). Last month, I did a six-mile mountain hike that included descending and ascending 1,000 feet and I wasn't even tired afterwards -- I went swimming in the evening!
Other people who posted in this thread a year and a half ago are still active in the forum, but many "old-timers" stick mainly to their journals. If you click on the journal link under their names, you can find out if they are still around and how they are doing now.
