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

Thxs folks. As many of u know it is so amazing!!! Just sorta has had me smiling all day!!! @kemo how e u doing?

199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*worlds dorkyist happy dance*

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

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!

No not there yet. I knew if I didnt make then it would be a week. I tend to lose for a few days and then stop fluctuate up and down a couple pounds for 4-7 days and then drop another 3 or 4 over and few day period. I was 4 days into a losing spell when I got to 200.0. So that's why I was like "crap" I knew I would stall a few days soon and sure enough I have been 203, 201, 202, 200, 202. And so it is, but still not below 200. Lol. Patience is a verture right? On an up not I went out last night and the attention I received was amazing!!!

Heck freakin yeah!!!! Celebrate!!!!

Wow, u look stunning!

200.0!!!!!!!! 1 freakin oz and I would have been under!!! Grrr

Onederland is when you are no longer in the 200lbs but are in the 100's :-)

@ct Dude, this is the best decision I have ever made both for me and my kids. Finnally if I try to lose I do. After a life of inability to beat obesity I am winning. It is good! Really Good!!!

K

:-) yeah my kids are awesome. I'm still smiling about it. :-)

Haha, I'll think about it.

Just consider it training wheels for your new sleeve. :-) if you can focus on small bites, chew well, and when u drink small sips. I am 3 months out and still have the same thing if I drink to fast. It is getting better, mostly because I am learning how to eat like a sleever. :-) u will too if you fight the head stuff that we all have to deal with. Congrats on your loss an being on an amazing journey to the you that a Has always been there but not seen!

I made it to 203 this morning! 4 more lbs to wonderland!

I love this thread already. Yes us men want to feel sexy too! For me there are a couple things at this point. As far as confidence I have never really lacked that. *charming smile* I love my new face! And while this one is odd I suppose I am starting to see the veins in my arms stand out. I always thought that was the freakin coolest thing on buff guys. And while not fully there it's starting and I love it!! Kind of a real marker for me of beginning to actually be thinner. And of course there is the f act that I am freakin hilarious!!! *wink*

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. :-)

*huge goofy smile* that is such an awesome thing!!! I think we all get it. Lol which is funny when. U think about it. Keep focused you are. Doing great Chica!

@raine It is at the shop having my patches sewn on. I'll post one when it gets back. :-) careful though I look sexy in it

@str8 Congrats. It is fantastic isn't it? Just so amazed an still shocked a little. Congrats on your success!!!

@4now Well I have stuck with eating protien and trying to get my liquids in. My work is hard so that helps and I don't eat anything fried, fat laden. I do get in 60 or so carbs a day as I believe the body actually needs those carbs to process and synthesis the protien. So I don't eat much, an try to keep it clean

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!!!
