Reaaly fat to chubby with pics
So, I said that I never wanted to post my before pics until I reached my goal weight of 240. Well, I'm bored so I'm going to. First pic was June 6th, 2011 at 334 lbs. Second pic is October 8th, 2011 at 277 lbs. The "Mickey Mouse" pattern shaved out of my chest in the first pic is from where I had to have an EKG because I…

350 ish to 285 with pics
I said I wanted to wait until I hit goal weight to post, but then again, what the hell. Here I am at 344-350 lbs. This is the picture that when I saw it realized I have to do something quick. Not only do I not even look like myself, I look sick. This is me at the same weight giving my 3 year old son and niece the camel…

Funny 1 AM NSV
So this weekend we had my sons 3 and 1 year old birthday party, and the helium balloons that say Happy Birthday are still floating around. Around 1 am I was in a deep sleep and all of a sudden I hear this loud thump thump thump. I woke up and sprang out of bed into the living room in one fluid motion. I assumed some one or…

How come every thread I have been on today is deleted?
I have seen no one use vulgarity or bash someone else. But why are we all being censored blanketly? Can't the moderators boot the single comments that taint the thread? I know this is probably hard to do for every thread, but then again, it's not as hard as holding a rifle to defend that freedom.

Amazing
Does anyone else find these before and after shots to be utterly amazing? This might sound pigish, but there are so many times I have seen a before pic on here and thought "so-so", then you see the after pic and it's like "Whoa, where did she come from!"

From inert to 5K
I'll keep it short. 70 days ago I would get tired walking up the stairs to get to the Cardio machines at the gym. This morning I walked a 5K, kept up with pack of walkers, while alternating carrying children in a kid back pack or pushing a stroller. Next year I would like to run it. (With out a small child on my back,)

Muscle loss
Hey everyone. I know that it is almost inevitable that muscle mass will be lost when losing weight, and more will be lost when losing weight rapidly. Does anyone know what the average muscle loss would be statistically when losing fat, what kind of diet can mitigate that from happening? The only reason I ask is that I used…

NSV, scale victory, and all around good day
So last Wednesday, I had this Colonoscopy. I weighed around 308 at that point, did a TWO day fast because the VA hospital is like that, and on thursday actually weighed 310.

I'm former military and did a little power lifting for a few years, now trying to get healthy and then move back into serious weights again. Oh,…

Water Aerobics!?!?
My wife had to be at work by 11 today and wanted to go to the gym before work with me. She wanted to do water Aerobics, and since I am getting sick of the treadmill I said I would do it too. Holy Crap! If you give it your all and don't cheat, it's a hell of a work out! We are both in our early thirties and I was...not…

TEMPTATION!
My wife and I have my sons, near 3 and 1 years, and tonight my niece and nephew are over for the night (near 5 and 3). We baked cookies and the kids had Ice Cream cookie sandwiches. I'm proud to say that I have been true to my changes in lifestyle and diet so far, but damn you ice cream sandwiches, damn you to hell.

Gonna be buff again!
Hey everyone. I was looking in the mirror about 2 weeks ago and had a "Holy Crap!" moment. I joined a gym with my wife and since I am a stay at home day, I am cooking most of our meals so the diet is on my shoulders. Just wanted to say hi to everyone.
