Older looking than a rock singer...turkey neck



Recommended Posts

Not a rant...

post-20464-1381366371658_thumb.jpg

Here I am with Peter Noone, lead singer for Herman's Hermits. He is one year older than me, 65, he's a rock singer,(notorious for hard living), and he looks younger. Granted, he didn't balloon up to 330+ pounds and then lose it in a year, get treated for prostate cancer, and he has a ton of make-up on, but..dang!

The biggest difference is the turkey neck..gobble, gobble.

I am glad my wife loves me whether my neck flaps in the wind or not. I have no desire to blimp it out again with fat globules. Surgery is out of the question at this time. I just have to lay low at Thanksgiving. :unsure:

Well, you don't look older than Keith Richards or Mick Jagger!!

The Surgeon General should put a picture of Richards on cigarette packages as a deterrent!

I have to laugh. A few years ago my girlfriends and I went to see Crosby, Stills & Nash in concert. We noticed ALOT of older people in the audience. The only people without grey or white hair clearly used Clairol products!!

We saw a group of people on the lower level being wheeled in as well and a fair share of walkers, canes, etc.

We looked at each other and started laughing...and said Dang there's a whole lotta really old people here tonight....everyone but us!!

Ok, we're approaching our 60's these days, but funny how our own perception of ourselves was still that of being young and hip.

I tell my grandson that I'm fresh, young and hip. He tells me I'm just an OLD GRANNY.

I think I'm both :P

Hehe. I remember when I had my son, I had to attend a informational class about amniocentesis

I walked in and saw a bunch of OLD pregnant women.... And then realized OMG I'm here too. I'm one of them!!! 0_o

My Nana used to always tell me "Laura I am the same girl I was before but now when I look in the mirror an old woman looks back at me"

Darn, you guys are making me feel good!

I might have to contact the members of my old rock band, The Spyders, and get the band back together!

We might have to rename it though, ....The Spyder Veins? B)

GMan, you are looking great. Truly. (And I didn't say "you look great... for your age - because you look great for any age!). The look of healthy and fit is recognizable whether or not there is some little bit of extra skin here or there. I am working on getting rid of my extra skin, but even if I kept it all I'd be thrilled with the transformation. And you and your wife have a lot to be thrilled about, too!

Gman, you have been an inspiration for many of us in the last 6-12 months. You have done so well supporting others with your advice. And from one guy to another, ii think time treats you well. Keep on fighting the good fight.

I also think you look great! I should think the Keith Richards could get the best cosmetics fixes that money can buy and that guy is UGLY and has always been skinny (I am sure the heroin and cigs helped with that!).

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
