Wow this is great, I've been reading your messages, very inspiring. I started last April, I had joined the gym and started at 240LBS, and yes, I was floored!! Well I was hitting the gym everyday five days a week and lost 38LBs, well got a set back in Dec. I came down sick and now I have a stress fracture in my foot that I have been going to the Dr's now for four weeks and no gym, so I put 5lbs back on, well went to the drs today, two more weeks in a soft case, but good news I can return to gym and work upper body. It has been a tuff battle, sure wish I had seen this posting before. Great job everyone!
