  • Just reached my first goal of losing 50 pounds. I gotta do that at least three more times to be in a decent range and ideally a fourth time to get down to my ideal weight. So I'm going to be at this for a couple more years.
  • If there was a starring system here, I'd star this one. You're right. I remember feeling that way. And I do have other reasons (such as being more mentally alert and having energy.) Its not the whole reason i quit but its a factor for sure.

  • It was the thing I've done that seemed to impress people the most. Want that again.
  • Thank you. Yeah its important to me. I've never felt better about anything in my life. I felt so powerful.
