As of this morning I'm only 19 pounds away from cracking the 300 pound line. My eventual goal range is 210-220, so cracking under 300 is a big deal for me. The lowest weight I've ever been in my adult life was in 2003 when I got down to 283.

I'm hoping to be under 300 by my birthday on June 28th!

Congratulations on your hard work! Keep it up and you will make your birthday goal!

That is amazing Matt! You will be in the 200's soon enough... All your hard work is paying off!

Congrats Matt (matt_H) for moving along.

I got to watch the Boston Marathon for about an hour around noon at Coolidge Corner. Really fun watching the determined runners going by and the upbeat crowd.

Did you get a chance to watch?

Wow wait to go man!

Congratulations on your fantastic efforts so far, and good luck for the last push!

I did get a chance to watch a little bit of it on TV. I ate lunch with a friend at "Figs" in Charlestown. They had the race on the TV and I saw the women's finish. Those are amazing atheletes.

I told someone else that before the end of next year, I'd run in a 5k. If I continue to lose weight and start jogging a bit next year, I think I could do that. We will see!

You can make it to Twoderland by your birthday, I just know it! You have done so much already, congratulations!
