Down to 313 from 467. Tried slowing the weight loss during the winter to see if my skin would shrink a bit. NOPE...gonna need surgery when I hit 250 or so. Oh well, keep getting sores and rashes myself.
Holy crap that's awesome! I didn't know you were also dropping. That's fantastic, and you've lost over 150 so far, that's as big as HCP's ego (kidding John). I'm not sure yet if excess skin will be a problem for me or not. Right now it's looking like I'll have a bit excess if I get down to 180, but it might not be bad enough to need surgery. How are you feeling having dropped so much?
It's crazy. I spent most of my 30s at 400 or more. Almost all at 350 plus. Yuk, being young and fat is like having a car that is fast but gets bad gas mileage. Being old and fat is like a Prius that gets 4 mpg. Will soon turn 41, feel better than I have since 26. Had a little problem with prostatitis that kept me off of my bike for most of the last few months. Took doxycycline hyclate I believe it was and my joints hurt so bad I could barely work. I work on flag hour or commission so I make way more now being able to work faster without getting tired.
Last weekend at Winco there were 2 500lb or more men on scooters. Just after the first so there were more welfare types there. One guy had to be 55 or older and he was huge. The other guy was probably 24 and there with his mom. They just bought junk and junk and junk. I don't remember seeing anyone buy more than one loaf of french bread before in my life. It is only good fresh. The young kid had 4 in his scooter basket. I have no right to say anything to him having been almost 500 a couple of years ago but I wanted to help him sooooooooooooooooooooooo badly. It just makes me sad.
Mozel tov! My story is not quite so dramatic - 38 down, 13 to go. My jeans keep falling off my ass. In fact I don't really have an ass any more.
