Write EVERYTHING down. Track EVERYTHING. You'll know where you're going wrong and writing everything down will make you feel accountable to yourself.

Or make a wine holder/bladder out of it you could take to outdoor festivals.

You look like you were hiding in the person before. I mean that in a metaphysical way. You look happy now.

Wow, thank you for that detailed look at what you're going through. I really appreciate the insight. It's all motivation fuel for me at this point. I do see it as a tool. I have mentioned before it's a 2nd and last chance. I don't plan to waste it when someone is going to take a part of my anatomy out of my body to "fix" what I mismanaged (in nice terms) or "fucked up" (in not so nice terms) before.

Are you still here? How are you doing now?

You know, I have to be honest, as I look at these pictures, and I have been looking at a lot of them, it has not missed me that almost EVERYONE of you that have lost look at least 10 years younger in your after picture. Yes, I want to be healthy. I want t o change my life and relationship to food, I want to be around longer for my daughter and I want to be fit..... But there are also selfish reasons and dropping ten years in looks is definitely one of them...along with buying new clothes and just looking as good as I possibly can. Can't lie. 25% of the desire is selfish reasons! lol. Am I wrong for that?

Four months and 75 pounds!! How inspiring to me.....Thanks for sharing. Whoah. What I wouldn't give to be down 75 pounds in 4 months. Nice ink btw.

Well cool...we'll see won't we?

Please forgive me if I should be doing this elsewhere, it's my first post and I just wanted to introduce myself and say how happy I was to find this forum before my surgery. It looks like there is an overwhelming amount of information here that I will have fun digging into. I'm nervous, but excited. Can't wait to get this done. Hello.

Kind of problem I WANT to have. Just buying clothes at Target, who doesn't go above guys XL, would be friggin sweet.

Wow, that's pretty interesting. Seems like a total switch or reversal of what I thought would happen - but it makes sense. Are there any guys here that can kinda give a man who had the sleeve perspective on the same thing?

Would like to hear more about this dichotomy.....

Yes! That's what I'm talking about. Perfect response. Really gives me some insights! Great for yo!

I plan to take a boatload of pictures because I'm so inspired by looking at everyone's before and after pictures, even though they are usually a year or so apart. I want this to be successful and a new beginning so I plan on doing everything to a T and NOT failing. This to me is not a quick fix, it's a rebirth.

Right now, I'm scheduled for July 24th. Fingers crossed.

Horale!
