plumbcut and Mike- Yeah that was a real big grin

We were headed out to the club for a party for a coworker of mine. You should have seen the heads we turned. Most guys were thinking is he "like King Kong" or rich out the wazzoo?? I just say "BOTH" LMAO!!

Jeremy- Yeah she's taken for sure by me

i know how ya feel man, at the age of 18 i was almost 400 lbs, but now down to the 275-300 range, so i know how ya feel with all that weight loss, its one of those, you look back and wonder how it was possible back then to weigh that much, cause once ya loose the weight, ya never wanna go back , congrats to ya and good luck bro

***Liz*** · 08-08-2004, 09:27 PM

you deserve congrats also full foot notch. That is a significant amount to lose, you should be proud.

*Randy70C-10* · 08-08-2004, 10:18 PM

Congrats, you look great dude! (and I don't mean that in a gay sort of way)

My wife (Randysgal) had the same surgery done and lost 120 pounds. She also (recently) had a breast lift and tummy tuck. She's looking really hot

and feels good about herself too.

*Slams_58* · 08-08-2004, 10:57 PM

I've lost a lot of weight as well ( as most of you know) so I know how great you really feel! Congrats on the weight loss man!!!

*1972C10* · 08-08-2004, 11:23 PM

Most ive ever wieghed was 379 Now im at around 325 aiming for 290.

How did the doctor determine your ideal wieght?

Any of them online Body mass Calculator say i should wiegh like 190 wich i think is BS
only person ive ever seen that was 6'8 that wieghed under 200 looked like a crack head.

hobby67stepside · 08-08-2004, 11:25 PM

I'm glad for you as everyone else is, but I have a little bit different perspective on weight loss. A little over a year ago (posted this some time ago so some may remember) my 13 year old daughter became anorexic. She went from 154 lb to 85 lb in about 4 months. She had to spend about 3 1/2 months in the University of Iowa Hospitals in an eating disorders program. They got weight back on her but once she got back home she started restricting immediately again. My wife thinks she has her stabilized now at a lesser weight than she should be, but at least she is not losing. So I am proud of you, but I have terribly mixed emotions when someone talks about weight loss. This is just a personal issue with me - again GREAT SUCCESS for you.

*dtlilly* · 08-09-2004, 12:05 AM

Congrats on the weight loss, it will add years and enjoyment to your life.

ChrisK10 · 08-09-2004, 12:37 AM

The Dr. did the BMI (body mass index) and added some to it due to my big frame. He said 250 would be a "ideal" weight but not something to have to stick with. Just a good idea on what I would be like.

Thanks for everyone's well wishes and for those who have lost their weight great job!!!

*Slams_58* · 08-11-2004, 01:04 PM

My doc told me the BMI indexes are nothing but BS!!! He says you can't generalize people and body types like that. One person's weightloss isn't the same as anothers. Being that I weightlift...I'll never see my "IDEAL" BMI since muscle weighs so much more than fat.... and truthfully, I don't give a rat's ass if I ever do get to 25 on the BMI! I'm at 28 (according to online calculators)or something like that which is down from about 42 or 44!! I feel good..my health is excellent...that's all my doc cares about!

Putter · 08-11-2004, 01:32 PM

Holy crap. That is amazing. I have no idea what the "before" shot looked like, but as long as you and your 'lady friend' are happy, so are we. You go. Kick Jarod's arse....you don't need no stinking SUBWAY!!!
