That is awesome.

Stick with it brother. You're worth it. Do you have any cucumber or pickles kicking around?

Hmm hands on, I'm jealous!

Good. 'Cause I'm freaking hungry now. But I'm also reminding myself that it's okay to be a little hungry. That was a problem of mine. If I was hungry I ate. I now know I don't always have to respond.
Dude that is freaking HUGE. You will kick but on your PT test.

NSV for me yesterday, just found myself walking, very fast to get to my truck and thought that just 6 months ago I would have been completely sweaty and out of breath, nothing at all just a smile at being able to move, fast.

oh yea a fridge full in my office.

And you still have 2 weeks to practice, I told you, you will PASS with flying colors!..You are a CHANGED man, lighter, healthier and I am sure the way you think about yourself is much happier. Show that PRIDE off dude...YOU deserve it!!....VERY proud of YOU!!:hug:
Yup, starving days end up being next day big loss days!...UT OH...fried turkey??....I haven't had that in YEARS and probably won't have it for a few more....lol...You will make your goal by your birthday....Football is always about gatherings, FOOD and DRINKING!!...its suppose to be about the GAME, NOT the food and beer...but the friends and family getting together, BUT as Louisiana people, our lives revolve around FOOD!...just gotta control it and WE will be FINE!..Even though you have had a few weekends "off" I am very proud of you for getting back to it right away. You have learned a lot over the past few months about your eating habits and I do believe you have it under control:hug:

i so got this on lock down it should be illeagal. I can handle the rest from here. i am even gonna fry my turkeys in my greaseless turkey fryer. AKA The Big Easy. i love that thing. makes a fantastic pork loin.

I do something similar.... When I get hunger pains and it isn't time for feeding, I just imagine a fat eating monster in my belly eating away. Silly, I know, but helps me 'stomach' the hunger when it hits. ;)

Big D do you have the Smoker or the Turkey fryer?? I have ben looking at the smoker version for a couple of weeks so I don't have to fire up my big pit. I hear they are super easy to use.

Haha, its funny but I like it...Thanks!

Hi Vet!!!

Great to see you still killing this program. So happy you are still having a huge success, I love the dedication and desire to succeed.

I have been maintaining, its true the program works as advertised, I have been able to float in a 2-4# window of where I stopped, but now after test driving this new weight I have decided its still too much for me, so I am back for another 20# which should get me to where I want to be.

Truth be told, I have started and stopped a couple times, with no real desire to carry on, but now I have made up my mind to get back 100% and get it done.

Great to see all of you doing so well, congrats to ALL of you guys!!!

I missed you brother. Lets all do this together.

Off topic, but good
 

Here, how about some good clean joke?

An Irish priest was transferred to Texas.

Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new west Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside. He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local police station.

The conversation went like this:
Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?"
"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St. Ann 's Catholic Church. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o'yer lads to take care of the matter?"

Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit and recognizing the foreign accent, thought he would have a little fun with the good father, replied, "Well now Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a long moment.......

Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye,'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin first, which is the reason for me call."

TGIF :cp::cp:

I have to smoke 12 briskets and 30lbs of sausage for the football game tomorrow. Going to be a busy day getting everything together. Maybe UT will show up and actually play tomorrow.

My neighbor has a large smoker on a trailer that he brings home occasionally to cook on. Makes the whole neighborhood drool....I wish IP could package a powdered brisket and sausage....Nah, wouldn't be the same.

It has finally happened!!!! My scale this morning said:::::

140.0!! Finally reached my goal.

I go to the WI on Monday and her scale is always a couple more lbs than mine, but I have a couple of days to loose an extra. Phase II, here I come. :carrot::carrot:
