Default Congrats Broken Wind!!!



Sorry, but I have to brag and pat myself on the back.

In April I was at 230 lbs, the most I had ever weighed.

This morning I weighed in at 198.6, breaking through to the first goal I set for myself, less than 200.

Now I need to get to 190 so I can claim to be back within USMC height/weight standards. I think that will be enough.

My wife doesn't want me to lose any more weight. She says I lost my entire ass.

I think it's more because I'm wearing jeans that are about 4" too large in the waist.

Nevertheless, I'm looking for some good exercises to regain my ass.

Go me!!

Good job.

I've been trying to get my weight down a bit to lighten the load on my aching knees. Down from 232 on 10/10 to 223 this A.M. I'd like to get to about 200-205; it'll be a while. I'm 6'2".

I bounce like a yo-yo.

At high years ago ~300#, down to 220. Since then up and down from 230 - 245. Need to break the cycle. I hate exercise LOL

At my high point, I weighed 275. I'm now at 205, and at age 70, I have no ass left!

Congratulations man! That's a lot of weight to pull off!

I'm still only up 1 waist size since HS. 5'11" and 170 lbs.

Good eating and good genes make it easy but I feel for those that battle with it.

I've been way down then up this year. The summer foods got me, I was lazy. Keep on keeping on, you are doing great! Much respect.

Speaking of good eating, I have been feasting on Brianna's dressings and Himalayan Chef salts. I went through the ones you sent, loved them and have been getting them now at Forest Hills Foods, a Spartan store, and Meijer also. I have noticed they have been expanding your shelf space and rightfully so!

Nice job! Semper Fi!
I was 165 the day I got out of bootcamp 1987, 205 the day I got out of the Corps 4 years later. Got down to 175 again and almost went back in but decided to go to school and get married. Wife inflated me to 230 before I figured out there was a problem. Ive been ~200 for the last 20 years other than the months after my pancreatic surgery but that wasnt a 'diet' per se'. LOL. Im 5' 10".

Semper Fi, Marine.

I just checked the current height/weight standards and discovered I’m about 1.5 lbs too heavy. I think that’s changed since I retired. I have 193 stuck in my mind for some reason. I’m 5’ 11”.

My wife had another talk with me today and says I really need to stop losing weight. She thinks I’m too skinny. I’ll admit that a 30 lb weight loss on a 62 yr old looks different than on a 30 yr old.

Good deal
They've got 2 new flavors coming out early Spring.

Funny to read "Forest Hills" as that is the school we went to in the mid 70s.
Wish I still had the sweatshirt (green with white lettering)
