December 2006--Currently same weight the same as of a year ago.
even thu I haven't posted in a year. I am currently maintaining my weight. However I have been exercising and jogging quiet a bit. My starting weight on the Benchpress was approx. 135 lbs and now it's at about 385-400 lbs. I have also started jogging, something that 2 years ago was impossible. I run about 3-5 miles a week and my wife and I bike about 75 to 100 miles a week when the weather is warm. I now consider myself in maintance.
