The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

Yes, same here, exactly. You know, until about 15 months ago, I was 40-50 lbs overweight, for about 10 years. No one hardly ever noticed me, or cared(about more than friendship). A year ago August, I decided it was time to do something about it. I went from 180(I'm 5'10") to 135 now. I wear 28 jeans now, and went from XL shirts, to wearing smalls! And it's the best thing I ever did. I get hit on constantly(not bragging here) by 21 year olds!(I turned 42, 3 weeks ago).

Funny story, last night, I went to see a band's reunion, that broke up 18 or so years ago. This big fat slob, pushed his way in front of me, as I was trying to talk to the guitar player, when they took a break. He said, "out of my way, I was here 20 years ago, when they played all the time". I said, "I WAS TOO!" He said, "there's no way you were here then, you're too young...what are you, 27?" I told him to "add 15 to that". Turns out, he was only a year older than I, although he looked 20 years older than me. God that felt good.

I vow to never let myself go again. I'm the best I've ever been. And getting regular booty texts, from 22yo's, is priceless!

Homer, honestly, I'm not trying to start any problems here but I was wondering what's up with your weight loss? In another post you said your top weight was 215lbs. and your current weight was 145 lbs. That was the post where you were talking about your family intervention on you, the one where they were concerned you were becoming too skinny.
Even though I'm not fond of you I was using your positive weight loss experience to help motivate myself. Using your experience at 215 lbs. because that is exactly where I am at now. My goal weight is to become 180lbs. and I know this is possible.

You see, starting on July 4th of this year I started on a quest of walking 5 miles per day, everyday. I have currently lost 24 lbs. in 5 months and am still walking despite the cold wintery days and nights.

So all in all I was curious what your top weight really was, 180 as you claim here or 215 as you previously stated?

One more thing, why would you refer to the man who pushed his way in front of you as a "big fat slob?" Once being overweight yourself I would have thought you'd be more sympathetic to others with your choice of words.

Back in 1986 I cruelly laughed at how fat Stevie had become, after having been as thin as she was. Well, karma came back at me and tuned me into a fat man. I long for the day(which will come again) when men start to notice me and text me for booty calls in the same way that young women do for you now.

3 or 4 years ago, I was up to 215. My aunt got on me, about how fat I was getting, and I got down to 180, and pretty much stayed there, for a couple of years(by basically just cutting out ALL late night eating=forbidden!). But last August, I decided it was time to get my sh*t together.....lose weight....stop being a loner.....find love.....

So, I cut out almost all red meat, and eat tons of veggies, and got all the way down to 133. So, I DO eat a little more now. I weigh, EVERYDAY, and my window is 135-140. AS LONG AS I COME IN, INSIDE THAT WINDOW, I don't starve myself. Today, was 138, so I'm good. I absolutely LOVE wearing 28" jeans, and small shirts. Like I've said before, no one wanted me, at 215, or even 180. And you want MOTIVATION? Once I got down to about 160, I started getting hit on, more and more, with each additional pound. I can't stress that, any more......each pound, made me more and more desirable.
AND, I'm so proud to say, that I did it ALL, without ONE IOTA of exercise! I'd rather starve, than work out!
Bonus side effects? My doctor had been threatening me with cholesterol meds, for a couple of years, and I was on high blood pressure meds. My cholesterol dropped 93!!! points, and my BP is down 20. No meds needed, now. The doctor even said, "I don't really approve of the way you lost it, but you've got all your numbers, right where they need to be, so keep it up".

I called the man a big fat slob, firstly, because he was off the charts RUDE, in literally pushing me out of his way. Secondly, to point out how letting yourself go, affects the way you perceive yourself, and others perceive you. He was only a year older than I, yet he thought I was 15 years younger than I am. For me, my weight loss has, almost literally, been a time machine for me.

Lordy, I can't wait until New Year's Eve! I'm canceling my trip to Nashville, for an invite to the hottest party in town. Yowza!!!!! Life...bring it on!!!!
