I'd suggest avoiding this...

we should have replaced that hungry man dinner contest with the pork brains in milk gravy, jesus

Don't forget the Manhattan Style Fish assholes.

The HungryMan thread... fuck that was so good while it lasted.

So much better than the New England Style Fish Assholes.

No better or worse, just a different fetish.

What's even scarier is the can itself.

Yeah, but have you tried the German Style Fish Assholes?

Good luck to all the fatties out there.

Between University (basically sitting read/writing/snacking 16 hours a day), busting my leg so I couldn't walk for a year and dating a chef I really piled on the pounds. Plus I'm getting old.

I don't go on scales, prefering the 'do my clothes fucking fit me' method of measuring weight, but I guess I'm about 250 lbs these days which is at least 30-40 lbs too much.

Trying to cut out the crap, eat a bit healthier and I'm getting up early and doing a 4.3 mile walk in the morning. My last time was 1 hour 13 minutes which ain't bad for a fatty (there is a couple 150 foot hills on the route) but I want to get down to about 1 hour 7 minutes which I think is possible. If I can do it in that time I'll assume I'm fitter and probably a bit lighter as well.

But I'm not running or jogging. Even if you are thin there is no dignity in that.

at this morning's weigh-in, i passed the 20-pound barrier - have now lost a total of 20.2

Nice!
Congrats, Bob!

We need to have a celebration when you've lost a Squirrgle's worth.

Good news...keep it up.

Ever since having kid #2 in october my drive to go to the gym on a regular basis has been sapped. 2 years ago i started getting into cross-fit and saw a big improvement in strength but now i pretty much pick and choose a routine once or twice a week. Thankfully I'm the type of person that actually lost 20 pounds by not going to the gym, i need to go to the gym to maintain my weight. However i often use that as an excuse to skip working out.

I've been playing with the idea of giving up fast food and soda for a month and following the prescribed cross-fit work-outs to see what type of results i get. Maybe i'll target June for that.

almost there

LOL

Progress had stalled mightily last week, as I went more than five days without losing any weight, but something apparently kicked in/re-triggered after that, because I dropped enough over the weekend that my grand total to date is now 40.2 pounds lost.

This new regimen of walking 2+ miles at 5:30 every weekday morning seems to be paying some early dividends.

Fuck yeah!!!
Nice work, Bobbo!

Holy shit, Bobbo. 40 pounds is a lot. That's 1/3 of a squirrgleweight.

Thanks, Todd and Kyle!

I am not quite within striking distance of the 200s just yet, but I can see 299 without using the Hubble Telescope.

Yeah dude, 40lbs is real weight. I lost 47 from my peak of FAAAAT in 2008 - and that took losing my gallbladder.

I'll have to look into that gallbladder shortcut...

Awesome news, congrats Bobbo.

One of my partners (who is a pretty robust gentleman) has started this regimen. Hope he has some success as well. It would be nice to have the both of you around for a good long time. Congrats on the success. Keep. It. Up.

40 lbs! Congrats...
I am watching my weight go up...and up...
meet you at 200?

i'd literally die of malnourishment if i ever got anywhere close to 200 - i'm shooting for 275, with the remote possibility of eventually targeting 250, which with my frame/bone structure would have me looking like the 6'5" male version of late-era Karen Carpenter

i'm sure your weight gain is only related to your pregnancy - congrats on that, by the way!

thanks, chris
