Ok guys, I haven't given an update lately, so since I weighed in tonight I figured I should update.

I lost 9 pounds this week for a grand total since the end of June of 57 pounds. I still have a loooong way to go, I was such a fat bastid, but I can't tell you how much better I feel.

I went through my clothes tonight and threw out a lot of clothes that I look like I'm swimming in now. It feels so good to do that. I still have clothes to shrink into, so that gives me little goals to try to meet along the way instead of thinking of the end goal. That figure is so large, I can't think about it for fear of getting discouraged.

So watch out for the leaner, meaner tubaman!!!

Great Job Tubaman!

My GF started doing the Atkins diet on July 1st, and since I had put on some weight over the past few years I thought I would do it with her so cooking would be easier, and to offer support. Since July 1st she has lost 12 pounds, and I have lost 30.

She is so pissed at me.

:)

Of course, she is just doing the diet, while I have started working out again, and my old room mate gave me an old exercise bike....

Keep up the great work Kevin.

But please ... no Speedo pics. :eyepoke:
No worries there Ted! But it was really fun to get rid of some clothes I am now too small for.

Jeeper, I have so much weight to lose, I am doing a medically supervised liquid diet called optifast. Basically I drink 5 of these optifast drinks and THAT'S IT. It's an 800 calorie diet which isn't much, but it's amazing how little the human body needs in order to exist. For me, this is what I need right now as I don't have a good relationship with food. I need to work that out and this is how I have chosen to do that. It's not for everyone, but it is working for me. I'm not even thinking in terms of how much I need to lose in total, I'm just trying to live with a more healthy lifestyle. So I'm walking more and working on my overeating problem.
