Keeping my self in order DEC 29th
Dec 29, 2009
The temptations are always around us and it is up to us tp defend ourselfs from a return to the old self who would just lay down and give in to the mood to eat all day the wrong foods. I have had a day or two like this but I just look at myself in the morror and say I like what I see and I dont want to go back to who I saw two years back I am 230 to 235 pounds and I am feeling good. Pray for me to stay that way and I will pray for you in agreement. Be Blessed in the new year 2010.

Where I am today 10-15-09
Oct 15, 2009
Well it has been a long time since my last posting. As of today I have reached the goal I last set. I am holding my Wt at between 238 and 244. Today I am 240 Lbs. I am setting my new goals to act get down to 220 and 225 and hold my Wt there. I don't want to lose much more as I think I will look to skinny and older. I'm already old now and don't require any more help looking this way. LOL. Anyway I feel wonderful, younger, more energy, love life with my wife of now 34 yrs is in tip top shape unlike before I lost all this Wt. I thought then that my sex life was all but done or at least very little. That is no longer the case. This was the best thing I ever did for myself with exception of asking Jesus into my life. Thank you Lord...

New Goals for May and June 2009
Apr 22, 2009
I think I need to set my new goals to reach a weight of between 230 and 240. I am now 247 and when I look at myself I think I can even get down to 225 Lbs and not look like an old skinny man. LOL. My wife hates the idea of me dropping any more weight. She likes me where I am. I am not happy with where Im at yet. We will play it by sight and how I feel and by me taking it one day at a time useing my tool and diet till I am happy... Then we ajust to hold where we are at that time. Where ever I end up as my goal weight under this present 247 Lbs the wife will get over it and like it after she sees what happens as I tone everything up. This is getting hard. But I love it. Its the best hard thing I ever did... LOL.God is Good!

One Pound to go to my first goal of 250 pounds
Apr 04, 2009
So my wife says I am getting to skinny and she does not want a small man... Say What? How do you get small man out of 251 pounds. I am never going to be a small dude. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and big boned. I am only one pound from 250 Lbs and I think I need to drop another 5 to 10 pounds to be looking like I feel I need to look when I look in the mirror. My wife is my Boo and I think she will be pleased even if I do drop down 5 to 10 more pounds as long as I do the sit ups and lift light weights to tone my arms and chest i think I will be ok. What would you do in this case. Isnt it nice to act have a choice with this new body. LOL God is Great... All the time. Amen and Amen...
Another day another pound
Mar 16, 2009
Hey my friends listen to old Rev Jack. I want to tell you that all you can do is one day at a time. Food or the want of it is still an issue with me every day. You just have to keep fighting to stay on track. I do every day Almost 8 months out 155 plus pounds lost. It helps to keep going every time I try on some new gear, shirt or pants and like the way they look. I keep going every time I remind myself of how I can fit into any chair with room to spare. I keep fighting when I get a see people I have not seen in a long time and they freak out because they never knew me to be a regular size guy (Or getting close to that) I keep fighting because my wife can’t keep her hands off me. She is looking pretty good as well with her WT lost and I can’t keep my hands off her as well. Almost 33 years now and we act like we did when we first hooked up. It’s all good. God is good and he is who I look to for everything else I need to keep going. I love the new me. I can keep up with my grandson and he just gets a kick out of his new Pop Pop. Life is good and I want it to stay that way... You can do it. I am doing it so I know you can. Peace and Blessings.
I am not going to complain anymore.

I just hit my 257 pound mark. It has really been slow these last 3 weeks and I was starting to panic. But you know what? The pounds are coming off anyway and who cares at this point how fast or slow? As long as I am going down and not up why worry about it. Let time and your body do it’s thing and you will get there as long as you work the tool the surgery gave you. Yes you have to do your part. Yes sometime you will cheat. Yes you can cheat and get right back on track because cheating can happen in only one meal where you eat something not recommended. It won’t kill your goals or diet if you pray about it and move on back into your program. You also have put in some time working out or you will stop loosing weight at some point. Work out my friends it is good for you and you will feel much better. When I started this the pounds were pouring off fast in the first 4 months. And in the 5th month they started slowing but were still coming off. In my 6th and 7th months I am in now I am just now starting to see the change in my looks. My eyes have caught up to my brain and I am happy. Hey my wife and i went shopping yesterday and we ran our credit card up 8 hundred dollars buying new stuff to ware. My wife who also had surgery is looking real fine to this old dude and we are acting like to 20 year olds around the house... Know what I am saying here. Life is great and it is getting better all the time... God is great and good to us. What more do I need to say... Peace
These last 8 pounds to reach my first goalare hard to get off.
Feb 22, 2009
This is really hard on the brain to have the last 8 pounds be so hard and slow to go... But I am a conqueror in Jesus Name and I will hang in there and fight them off OZ by OZ... Pray for me please... I have to see this finished so I can then move on to my next goal what ever that is because I don’t know yet...

Starting to go down again after long hold on dropping the pound
Jan 26, 2009
I hit between 259 and 260 today and boy I had to work out doing the cardio thing more offten to get there. As you get pass the 5 month mark you have to kick in more will power and help your tool work. It will work but so must you... It is easier now to want to get out and go to the gym. I even like doing the gym now and I use to hate any kind of work out. But that is why I was fat along with some health issues. Keep the faith and keep truckin forward and feel great while you are doingit. I can't lie I love people telling me how great I look, and I even get a kick out of the haters. Man do they come out of the crap hole. And why do they hate on you just for wanting to be happy and not sick and smileing every day for a change. Well if that makes a porson hate on you then just pray for them and keep doing your thing. God loves you and that is why he gave you this tool as a gift. Blessings in your day.

Almost to my first goal
Jan 07, 2009
264 pounds today. Only 14 pounds to reach my first set goal... After that we play by eye because Im not sure were my body wants to go and or weather I am going to like the way I look being real thin. I have always been considered a big guy even when I was not fat. However that was when I was a young man in the military. I am going to be 52 years old this month and I have a feeling that getting to thin will give me that old man thin look. I'm not ready to go there. Lets watch and see what happens and take it from there as to how much more I will lose...
