  1. Yes! Crossed the century mark today...halfway to my goal!

  2. 8 days post op, still struggling to get enough water and protein, but increasing every day! Went back to work 6 days after surgery.

      It will come. Get a shot glass and keep it full of water to help you sip. Get as much as you can, but there are real limits for the first three weeks on your protein unless you like Isopure clear protein. Just get ready to start tracking next week and prepare to be amazed.

  3. Irony........spending the last couple days shopping for a new 4K TV to take the place of a tried and true great TV in the den. Did so in hopes of getting it set up in time to watch the National Championship game on it. I even took vacation days today and tomorrow. Decided on the model....bought it.....brought it home....moved the old entertainment center out....new stuff set up. Teenage T-Rex was a hyooge help. He had me amazed at some of the 4K content he knew of on youtube...........anyway....setup and running well. Watch a movie with him and then roll into the big game. Saw kickoff.....and then woke up for the postgame interviews. DAMNITMAN !!!! Slept through it. Crap. I suck. Oh well.....thank goodness there is the DVR. My OG dog, Mollie....said she'd rewatch it with me. Watson is one hell of a QB. I'm very happy for Dabo and the Clemson Nation. Surrounded by them around here. Great day for them. Congrats.

      I was bored by the first half, so I recorded the second half and went to bed. The last half may have been the best championship game I've seen in years.

  4. Using KG's is so much more appealing than pounds due to the smaller "looking" numbers. I caught myself saying, "ha! this goal is totally doable."

      And it's nice to convert loss to grams "hey everyone I lost 1000g"

  5. Hello onederland!!!!! 199.8. Haven't seen onederland since before the birth of my son, who turns 8 in a couple of months

      "ride it out Dub"? Really? That just sounds like a line from a freshman at ECU (well actually UNC Charlette).

  9. Gonna put this little PSA here for your benefit.....while it can provide near immediate support and restoration of function.....duct tape should not ever...ever, be used as a bandage/wrap for a sore titty. Removing that stuff was like a redneck waxing. Long story....but ouch. Damn.

      Thanks, important safety tip. When I was in martial arts, I'd use tape on my toes when sparing, I forgot the athletic tape and used duct tape...geez not only every hair folical, but also all my callous.

  10. The push to onederland begins again. I'm doing the Tony Garza six week fat loss challenge. If I lose 20 pounds, it's free. If I fall short, it's $350. I'm two years out, and I need a new challenge.

      I will be reporting back in six weeks. I checked out the diet plan from someone who had done it previously and my only concern is actually eating as much as he wants me too. but it's exciting to have money on the line, and a group dynamic.

  11. Still recovering from surgery and every day I feel more like myself. I have lost weight since and already my feet and knees are feeling so much better. I am so glad to have had this surgery.

      Do the math...1/2 of the population is below average. But don't dwell on that thought on the freeway, the fact that half of the drivers are below average is too scary to contemplate.

      great gift to give yourself. Won't lie, there are freakout moments coming and it's not easy, but in six weeks...you will understand why you are doing this

  19. Mixed emotions today... 12/16/90 is the day i got marred 26 years ago. And in about 3 weeks ill be divorced. I do still love him, but i can't live with him. Why is this so hard.

    1. OKCPirate

      OKCPirate

      All change is hard. It is the death of a relationship that started with great promise. The pain is real and understandable. Just because millions of others know what you are going through doesn't make it any easier for you. But as one who is on the other side, it does get better, but it takes time and care.

  20. Wow! I lost 4.75 inches this week! I measure my chest, stomach, waist, biceps, thighs and calfs. The only ares that didn't go down were my chest and right calf.
