    80 pounds

    That seems to be the magic number for weight loss for guys names Scott. I just read a post by megoapesnut that he's lost the exact same amount as I have since January. 80 freakin pounds. Putting this in perspective, that's 7.5 gallon jugs of water. Try tying a rope through those jug handles and wear them around your neck. It's not even fathomable at this point that I was so stupidly heavy. I'm just a shade under 220 now and am hoping to get under the 200 mark by Christmas.

    My program hasn't changed at all. I still, to this day in 2012, have not eaten a single sweet item. Not a cookie, cupcake, sugared cola, not even a chocolate chip...nothing. I'm trying to go an entire year so I've got four months to go. I also have switched everything to whole wheat with bread, rice and salty snacks. I walked into a store I worked at five months ago and they didn't recognize me. I still just see a fat dude in the mirror, but obviously others see changes I don't.

    Just imagine if I wasn't working a hellish retail management job and being the primary caregiver for my wife and had time to work out. I'm really going to try to work that into my routine, but having free hours is a premium.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

    That's awesome, I'm both proud and envious of you.

    I'm going to try and slowly do the same thing...not because of vanity...but because I want to be healthy, and not die before I'm 60.

    Again, awesome job!

        Hec, there's not one health goal you can set that cannot be acheived. I know you offer up a bunch of pic-filled food related posts, kinda like gourmet porn, but I know you can do this. After reading about your ordeal and what you went through years ago, it's obvious you have a fighting spirit so use that strength to it's potential. I just started out the no sugar thing as an experiment and could not believe how much better I felt in as little as one week. If you choose to go all-out on this I've got your back and you have my full support. I want you to succeed.

        My mom, who generally stays out of stuff like this and wants me to decide to be healthier on my own, once asked me when was the last time I saw an old fat person? She's pretty much right on. I have cured my diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea by doing small things that add up to immeasurable results. This is the first time in eight years I've been buying shirts that only have one x on them.
