Right on!

Bueller?

Bueler?

Hey, I have 69 messages Unfortunately they are all old, so send me some new ones damnit

I may be one of the first guys alive that honestly doesn't care about the "boobies". Yes, boobies are very nice, but the size doesn't matter. Well, ok I guess it does matter, if they are literally the size of basketballs, not my first choice. But breasts the size of apples are still very appealing to me. Actually the first location my eyes fall to is a toss up between the waistline and the eyes/mouth. Figure I've found isn't all important. A little "meat" on a woman is preferred, I'm not a huge fan of super skinny model types. But I do prefer to see some sort of girlish curves

Ahahah Devilish! That's the first time I've been described as devilish. A friend of mine said I look drunk or high in the after pic lol Devilish, I likes

You crazy muther hucker!

I have no idea where I got mine...but it's always been my internet handle... I wish I had a story or an explanation...but..it just is

Crap, I missed that post! You people rock! Looks like skydiving is a great motivator for weight loss?

Been there, done that, and I don't miss fast food at all

Thank you I've actually heard that several times now in the last few days. In contrast, I haven't heard that said to me at all in the last 4 years

From the other side of the spectrum, as a guy, I have no problems being friends with an overweight woman, not even an issue. But as far as dating one, I would prefer to date someone that took better care of themself. I don't expect to snag myself a hottie in my present state, just because most people want to be with someone that can keep up with them physically. Someone that can take care of themself can probably take care of their significant other better...

You know...I think even my own cat is giving me more attention lately

Actually, in the past week I have noticed that some very good looking girls in the workplace that used to just walk by looking straight ahead now meet my eyes and smile. I have mixed feelings about that. Doesn't make me like that person anymore, but helps me to like myself I guess. Kind of another benchmark for improvement or something. Oh, and Thank you very much

I'm you're hero?!? Even after I told you to squeeze your (non-existant) nuts with vice-grips? Wow! Thank you!

Sounds like my mom and I will be driving up to Saskatchewan from her house in Spokane (20 hours), which is a 5.5-6 hour drive from my house out here in the Portland area, next friday I just got off the phone w/ my mom (again). Now it sounds like I'll be driving up to spokane on friday to watch the house/dogs for a week while my mom and step-dad go down to San Diego and Mexico for a week. They're gonna pay me what they would pay the kennel they usually drop the dogs off at

Bwahahaha That would have the same effect right? SHHHH! You're gonna get me in trouble!

Fkn hell, that is awesome Congrats, these pics will do well in feeding my desire to get in shape

Switchfoot - Gone

Thank you much

Well, surgery doesn't make your success any less significant! You've been through a lot to get where you are today, congrats! And I hope that over time you will get over the mental aspect of overeating. It was, and still is on occasion, a problem for me, but luckly if I do overeat...it's with carrots or turkey or something, and exercise compensates for it. Yes, gastric bypass is a last resort when nothing else works. A long and hard road follows after that, and you HAVE to be very very conscious of your diet after having that surgery done

#3 and #5 are my favs hehe

I'm interested to hear what Skyyhi did!

Well I got a couple requests to say what I am doing. I thought about writing everything in a journal and selling it like every other weight loss program, then I could afford to jump again hehe Nah, here's all it is. I was walking through the store grocery shopping one day and saw a rack of slimfast on the shelf. Same as pretty much every other time I've been to the store. Except today, I decided to ignore my feelings towards it was a junk program for people that want to waste money, and I bought a rack of slimfast drinks. Later I read the label on the can, "Drink one slimfast daily with two sensible meals to maintain weight, drink one for breakfast and one for lunch with a sensible dinner to lose weight", or something like that. So I did it. I had a slimfast for breakfast, and lunch, and had a sandwich or something for dinner. Later on I started adding snacks in there to tide me over between shakes/dinner. I did this for 3 weeks and in that time I dropped from 244 to 225. The last week I have just been eating normal food, but healthy food. Plain ol' cherios for breakfast with a banana or something, a pear or an apple as the day goes by. A turkey sandwich for lunch or dinner. I pretty much stick to foods low in carbs and fats and high in protein. But in no way to I stick to a strict regimen. I've found if I try and follow something so strict, I end up cheating myself and going backwards. Well, anyway, the three weeks of drinking slimfast, water (lots of water), and small healthy dinners, trained me to be concious of what I'm putting in my body. I don't eat candy, or drink soda (except for yesterday at my going away party at work, it was my last day and they had cake and pop and stuff). I only really eat when I am hungry. And that is KEY! It's a hard thing for most overweight people to learn to eat when they are hungry, instread of when they feel like it. As far as excercise, I have been riding my bike a LOT (when the weather is nice though), I like to go on long bike rides, 20-60 miles. I was also jogging at least 4-5 times per week for an hour. Well...most of the time I walked, but I jogged when I could. There is a track about a block from my house. When I first started I could barely run a half of a lap, now i can run for a full mile. My time is a bit high, 9:09/mile but it's a lot better than it used to be and it's continuing it's downward trend. Although the last week and a half I have been pretty dormant. That'll change soon. Basically, I'm doing the same thing everyone else does to lose weight. I'm eating right, and I'm exercising. The problem most people including me have, is getting over that mountain between thinking about it, and DOING IT! You have to realise that it is a lifestyle change, not just a temporary thing. You have to be ready to cut nearly all your fast food out, nearly all your soda out, no sweets. But you can really only do that when you are ready. When you realise that you NEED to get in shape. You have to do it for yourself. For your health, for your benifit (for your sexlife too if you don't already have one ) If you've tried and tried and feel like there's no hope...there is, I promise. I've been trying to lose weight for the last 5 or 6 years, but only now am I actually doing it. I honestly have no desire for candy bars or soda, or any sweets. Now, fast food...I do crave that occasionally. In fact I treated myself to a "Huge Burger" and large fries at the local Basco's Burgers last week. Mmmmm that was good. But that was the first unhealthy food i had eaten in over a month, and I had no craving for fast food since then. Well, that's about it. I eat healthy, I exercise, I lose weight. It really is all there is too it.
