Fellas,
Haven't posted in quite some time....have been in a "funky" mind set for a while. Was really looking forward to the BDB (even knowing that I most likely wouldn't reach 100 miles, but damn sure willing to put money on 75) and when couldn't make it was pretty depressed. Have continued to do "some" exercising (yea, ok....there have been a few weeks that I only jumped on the bike once) but even for that, I have FORCED myself to keep the nutirition side on the overall positive end of the scale. Well...I finally have some payoff. Went to see the doc today for a regular follow up and got some great news. The thyroid levels are in the perfect category, total triglycerides are only slightly elevated (was 438..off the charts; now 163, with healthy being 150), both HDL and LDL are perfect and....drum roll please....according to the doc's scales I have lost 15 lbs. Had gotten to a high ot 268 (yea I did look like a beached whale) and am now at 253. Was happy for Claude when he got into his 32s...Imagine me being able to say I am "back" in the 38s..only because I can't find 37s and am still headed for the 36s and under!! Will keep you posted....maybe get to the 34s by January!

good work big head...... glad to have you back on board... remember its a journey..... will not happen overnight..... no shortcuts. You'll have great success with a year or two of shear determination.
dude..this is big time and maybe the best news this group has seen in a while...I promise that that weight will melt off with the workouts and nutrition. You'll make the 34's...keep track of your before and after pics...they're great for motivation....Keep pushing play.
Great news BH! Keep up the good works and strive towards a regular workout routine. No doubt your hard work will pay big and "smaller" dividends.
Bighead, I'm super happy for you and really proud of you. Way to go! Consistency and discipline is what it takes. You are making it happen. Keep it up! And yes, do as Claude suggested and Dino did...take some before and after photos. You'll be AMAZED! Winter is bound to be rough in Michigan. Get a plan for how you'll handle it and still get your workouts in and stick to it! You can do it!
Congratulations! In these days of economic downfall, our health may be all we have left!
