Take it one day at a time, set mini goals but focus on the long term goal: better health, better appearance and more confidence. I jump started my weight loss with the Atkins diet. Low carb is the only thing that works for me. I later added cardio and strength training 4-6 times per week.

Thanks!

You need to use fat calipers or a scale that calculates it for you by sending an electric impulse through your body.

First of all PUI alert... (Posting Undre the Influence for those who don't know... just wine, noting else... I do so enjoy a good chianti!) Well, I may have to evac New Orleans fo r teh 2nd time in 2 weeks. It was atleast $1000 to evac for gustav... now we're faced with Ike. Shit... this sucks! Even beyond the extra cash, its just stressful to have to leave without knowing what's going to happen to your house, how long you're going to be gone... what effect it's going tohave on your kid. and it's impossible to eat right when you're on the road... fried food.. fast food... stress eating... shit! I'll have to at least run or something if there's no exrcise room at the next hotel... I put on 7 lbs since we left last week... ugh... sorry to ramble. I'm pissed... scared... nervous... anxious... tired... worried... this thing has got to turn... its headed rigth at us now...

hi thanks for posting the scale info
odd i had the same one as you all along
glad to know its a good one

so true we live in kenner
everything is ok with our place we went to tennessee for gustav
and now ike
sometimes it seems to getting to much to bear
keep in touch and godbless

:'(

I'm ready for all of this to be over!! On top of being scared of losing my house, I hate losing power. It is miserable, especially at night trying to go to sleep. I hope it turns and just stays in the Gulf! Here's to wishful thinking!

Great Job :-)

Thanks. I've packed on a few over the last couple of months, but I know what I have to do and the pics are motivation to get back on it!

Any advices on how u did it?...I am 275 now..I basically look like u and my dream is to look like your current weight...HELP

Way to go man, you can really see the change in your neck and jawline on the last pic.

Thats really amazing thanks for sharing!

wow thats awsome

no disassemble, Mommy & Disciple, thanks for the kind words!

(great user name, no disassemble! - got a 'johnny five' chuckle out of me.)

I don't have a whole lot new to report. I've been as low as 174, but seem to hover at 177. I keep trying to really get back on the ball and work off that love handle and I do well for 2 to 3 weeks at a time, but then a fun weekend rolls around and I have a couple of drinks and lose my will and wind up eating something fried and/or dessert! But I still workout and eat pretty clean most of the time.

You are just as adorable as ever! You look so much younger and happier.

GREAT job.

If you're married it must feel like you're a newlywed all over again with this new body you have no? And if not, the ladies must be all over you.

Congrats dude. You look awesome!!!!

Thank you!!! I am definitely happier and more confident.



Married 14 years.
