You do know it's traditional to receive an Emeritus certificate, right?

I don't see a problem if you award yourself the certificate. In fact, I think it's quite appropriate.

Congrats Tom. Well done.

Great job Tom! What format is your certificate file in? I could likely edit it and make one for you if I have the right software.

JPEG is fine.

I use this and then generate a screenshot and edit it with GIMP

Why don't you PM me a sample so I know what goes in it. I'll see if I can get one made up for you this evening. And I'm thrilled to do it for you!

Tom,
From another former 500 pounder, thank you for proving that it is possible. I dream of the day that I see a "1" in the leading number category of my weight. Thanks to you and Scott (LFoAB) I now know it's possible.

You are the man!

OMG! Fantastic!!! I guess you can go hang out in the racing forum now, Mr. 199. We'll miss you :(

I've been here the last few years with you and watched you shrink. You have worked hard on yourself and with other Clydes in this forum. You undying efforts have come to fruition. Happy New Year. Your ultimate resolution has come true. Enjoy your new life!

CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm hoping to see that number myself in a couple of years.
I was doing pretty good last year...until I quit smoking. Then I gained it all back plus some. So, I'm starting again this year. 318 as of today. My goal for this year is 260. 199 by the end of next year.

Congrats on making it into the "Under 200" club! I should really wander north 45 miles and ride with you sometime. lol

To celebrate, if you come into the shop where I work, I'll give you a big discount.
