One year and nine months out, started at 340, down to 210...10 pounds under goal. I have been stalled here, staying within 5 pounds for 6 months.

I am not complaining, I am happy. Like when I was as kid and grew my hair long...you never have to cut it because it stops by itself.

My body found it's happy place.

I could lose another 10 pounds by having a doc slice off the excess skin but I think not. Perfection was not my goal.

I am 64 and have no desire to gyrate in front of screaming women who are stuffing dollars into my scanty clothing.

Must maintain some semblance of dignity!

You. are. amazing. And I don't just mean your weight loss, which is definitely amazing. I just think you are amazing. I love reading your posts, I love your attitude toward life.

and I'd stuff a dollar bill if you were close by

What she says..You always make me laugh....

I concur, I also love reading your posts. Congratulations on your immense success!

You are a complete and total inspiration!! I only hope to enjoy the results that you are enjoying!! Good for you!!

Hi,

From what I have been reading on these blogs that the best way to get over a stall is to get back to basics. Do what you did at the start when it was just falling off!!! I am so sure you can ahieve your goal (so close...wish it was me...not long to go)and I am guessing that your body is just testing you to see if you are seriously committed to your new lifestyle! I think that this is a good learning experience because we will all need to re-employ our basic skills at different times to undo the damage done when we have been a little complaceent. Think of it as being a way for you to exercise these skills!

Amazing transformation....a big congratulations to you and your hard work!!!! Keep at it and you will conquer!!!!!!!!!

Ciao!

Ah-maz-ING! Congratulations. You look great!

Great job! Isnt it great to see how far you have come! Great attitude too! Happy for you!

gman, you are such a rockstar, and one of my favorite members of VST. You've always had wonderful things to say and a wonderful attitude. I certainly can't see 10 lbs worth of excess skin, so that's just not true You are 10 lbs UNDER goal!! That is really freekin cool! You're looking really buff & healthy! Enjoy that Happy Place!

Thank you for all you contribute to the gang here, including your humor as well as the inspiration.

Perhaps I can get myself included in a beefcake calendar entitled, The Men of Medicare.

Weighed myself this evening after a hard days work. I'm down to 208. Stall broken.

I am now thinking my new goal will be to go to 200 and under....haven't been there since I was in my early 20's.

You look great! You don't really need to lose anymore. I enjoy seeing your posts.
