Welcome to Randy's Weight Loss page

I am constantly adding to the site.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Email me any that you have.


On the 11th of July, 2002 I joined Weight Watchers. On my first weigh-in, I weighed 494.8 pounds! That's darn near a quarter ton of flesh! But I wasn't suprised. I knew I weighed almost 500 pounds and knew that I needed to do something about it.

I had hovered around 500 pounds since 1998 or so, and it was starting to take it's toll. That same year, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and had to start using a CPAP machine to help me sleep. That should have been my wake up call (no pun intended), but it wasn't. I continued to maintain my weight.

My knees began to hurt more. My feet were almost constantly sore. I could barely get up off the couch and I could barely fit into a vehicle to drive. I decided (with a lot of prodding from my wife) that it was time to do something. So I joined Weight Watchers.

With these pages, I hope to keep abreast of my continuing weight loss. I hope that they will help others as well. Let me know if they do.
