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.

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!

Congrats, Tom!
I don't even really know you but you've come a long way. You really are an inspiration!
Oh, and don't forget to add "Clydesdale Emeritus" to your signature!

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!
