is this your first time losing weight? Or have you been struggling for a long time?

Actually, it's the second time. I've always been obese (as long as I can remember).

I first lost 60 pounds when I was 18 by doing only exercise and redesigning my meals. It took much more time (3/4 year), but I must admit this was the best solution at that time (I was more active).

When I met my GF, I began to grow horizontally I tried for 1.5 year with "holywood star diets", or exercise, but I found out that due to my job, lifestyle and lack of motivation, I wasn't able to keep on. Often, I gave up as people around me all told me I was ok, that there were other things than just being fat. I shouldn't have listened to that, but I did.

Don't think I put the fault on someone else. I was still the problem there

However, to make a long story short, I went from 238 to 180, then in 3.5 years, I went back to 264. This time, I will not fail as I realize maintenance is actually what requires the most attention. I have three magic words:

- Exercise
- Three BALANCED meals a day
- Exercise

I guess we'll see how I do once I kick this maintenance plan!

Oh, yeah! You are the Hunkmeister for sure! Hubba Hubba! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us - it is always neat to be able to see a person's face when we write back and forth. I never pictured you as having such dark hair. I love it!

I am so proud of you for taking a stand to choose the healthy way over the foody way. Your girlfriend must be very happy for you, too. When we feel better about ourselves, we treat others better, too! I bet she is holding on tight to your arm when you go out!

Your Mother will surely notice your success and it is important to not bug her or put pressure extra on her. In due time, she will ask you about your program - as she is ready, we can help her, too. She has a lot of weight to lose and for some of us, it is totally overwhelming to even think about beginning yet another diet. This is not a DIEt, it is a healthy way of living for a healthy longer forever after!

Keep up the great work, Hype. You and Ron are important to us!

re:

Not me -- I was snoring away.

Oh, well that explains it then! I was wondering what set off the alarms in our neighborhood about 2:15 this morning!

I am about to turn off my 'puter, take a dip in the hot tub to soothe my aching neck from hunching over the 'puter for long hours and then have some Chai Latte under the sheets and read a while.

Guh night, Folks!
