pasquini

Actually I didnt find it closed minded. Just ignorance, and typical of someone that is retired army and never been overweight a day in his life. Lol

Congrats! Those are such great life wins!

I put on a size 34 Jean yesterday!!! Heck yeah I bought them!

So I have been at 198,200,199,201,199,200,198 for several days and wondering when I would finally get to 197 So today I get home from work head to the scale and once again no 197. 196! Skipped a whole lb! Just realized that means I am Over weight!!!! Only!!!!

Woot!!!!! Yeah!!!! Go u!

194 today!!! Holy cow!

So I took my kids to the y to swim. For yrs I have worn a shirt while swimming. I stood in the locker room deciding if I would go sans shirt. Back an forth back and forth my mind argued with itself. Finally i decided why not! So with slightly trembling hands I tossed the shirt in the locker grabbed my 4 yr olds hand and heade to the pool. My other 3 were already out there. So as I come out of the locker room my 13 yr old son is walking back in. He stops, and gets this funny look on his face and says "ok dad, 1st (at this point my heart is running to hide as I soo have carry guilt about my weight embarrassing my kids) ... 1st you have lost ALOT of weight!!!! 2nd you look Great!!" an then he smiled this goofy 13 yr old my Dad rocks smile. I almost cried! Very manly tears of course. :-)

When your X will literally not look at u! :-) love that one!

I was 68lbs down at 3 months

here they are with one from the day of surgery in mexico.

I have boxed up most of my old stuff but haven't taken ut. Lol y am I holding onto it. Lol

For about a week now, when I eat, doesn't matter what I feel like crap. Not my stomach. General whole body crappy, head aches, lethargic, feel like everything is sitting super heavy in my gut. Again not painful. I am eating 2-4 oz depending on what it is. Fairly clean foods, on vitamins (which don't bother me) still on prilosec, liquid doesn't seem to cause it. Just food. And it doesn't seem to matter what te food is. Though if it is serious protein it's worse. Any ideas? Again it isn't my stomach hurting or feeling stretched or bloated. More a whole body response.

Lol there kinda a smirk in the first pic. :-)

*cue music, eye of the tiger starts to play* 199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *streamers flinging, confetti flying, shirts being.* oops wrong dream sequence. Did I say 199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am nearing 4 months post op have not had any issues. But the last 5-6 days. Doesn't matter what the food is.

Car Sick! That's how I feel

So my freaking awesome 13 yr old says to me today, "dad, you look great!" Loving it!

Wow, very sureal to say the least I am at 204 today. 69lbs gone in three months. 5 lbs from onederland!!! I feel fantastic most of the time, and have really hit the everyone is noticing and commenting stage. I can say I honestly don't mind the female attention. :-) nice for the first time in my life! I bought a new riding vest today, a large. I bought it and loosened the side laces (leather motorcycle vest) so I think once I hit goal I can tighten it back up and it be perfect. :-). I was wearing a 3 xl vest!!!

Well, don't know if that has happen as my pant are all to big and baggy. :-) but i did have a car load of 22 yr olds at the gas station Saturday night trying to get me to come back to their place. :-). I very charmingly declined the offer as they were just babies. :-)

I love that!
