I just re read my whole stinkin thread. I guess I was at 279 (at the Drs) (283 at home) at my lowest and that was april of 2009! I spent a year and a half gaining and losing 19 lbs. Almost went back over 300 and then came to my senses.
Today I am in the 280s. Not sure cause I am at a 2 day business meeting and dont have a scale.
New goals
1.Get to 282 (new and unchartered territory) On second thought better get to like 281 in case I have a cheeseburger melt down...Just kiddin...Cheeseburger bad! Very Bad!
2.Exercise alot. I want to ride 150 miles in Feb. already at almost 50
3. Work on my spirituality..I want to get tighter with the man upstairs
4. No fast food for feb Like I said Cheeseburger bad!

Very good goals you have set for yourself Brawny! I think the journey to health truly involves all aspects of our being.

Make 'em yourself with 93/7 beef and they're really not that bad for calories. Be careful on the choice of bun (some are almost 250cals) and you can make a pretty good size burger for 600 calories. Plenty of protein and have water to drink with it. Have an apple afterwards for a sweet taste and you're all set.

I think it is unbelievable how some people are so beautiful on the outside but have so much growing to do on the inside. I've known both men and women like this. I love running into beautiful athletes who are also beautiful on the inside. It is comforting to know they exist. I think most people who go from fat to fit (and beautiful) almost always end up beautiful on the inside too. I think this is true because of the challenges we have to overcome to get there. As we battle so many physical aspects, we usually grow as a person on the inside too.
I think you are already a good dude, brawny. You have some good goals. I think you can also accomplish even more in regards to your weight loss if you master your eating habits. Diet is the key to weight loss. It's sort of like a 50% effort on diet alone results in 3 times more weight loss than a 75% effort on exercise alone. Of course I am making up those numbers. I'm just trying to prove a point. You get fit in the gym, lean in the kitchen. Master both and you will reach even your most lofty of goals.

You seem such a funny guy with LOADS of motivation. I piled the weight on when I met my partner five years ago, just got too comfortable I guess. I too just can’t wait for the skinny me to break out! I hate shopping for clothes as I just can’t stand picking up my size 18 when all my friends are 10's. I even go to the extreme of not shopping for clothes when some of my less close friends are there as I’m too embarrassed to pick up my size! But that all gives me more motivation to lose that weight and pick up the same clothes as them! I’m going to be a regular visitor to your diary as you’re the positive inspiration I need to be reading.
All the best

Hello peeps!
Better today...Rode bike this morning 25 minutes. So far today eating has been perfect..okay its just 10:15 in the morning but so far so good.
I am getting more and more ready to get rolling down to a body weight that I have not seen in over 10 years. I am only a few pounds away from it. Gotta push through it and beyond a bit because I dont want to bounce back.
Gotta deal with free food from job activities. Ive gotten pretty good at menu planning good healthy food on my own but I have this little problem that when you lay food in front of me....I eat it... Gotta get my mind around defeating that situation more often...Thats what got me at lunch yesterday.
I WILL KEEP GOING!

That is so so true. Sadly I used to get out of my car at the all you can eat buffett and scan the parking lot. If anyone else was getting out of their car, I would hurry up so I could beat them in there...Like they were gonna run out of food or something! What is up with this fat dude that lurks in my brain?

Yeah same thing with this fat chick in mine, I think getting them in control, or at least silencing them well enough will help to keep us on track
Glad to see that you are doing well overall Brawny Keep pushing!

hehe brawny
you are really cracking me up with that story about the buffet.
i think i m already used to eating small portions..but the test comes when i go to that buffet restaurant with my friend this week (we were supposed to go today -but ended up cooking instead...) fingers crossed.
Good luck with the silencing business heheh!

Letter to Self:
Dear Brawny
You got the nickname brawny back in high school when you wore a red flannel shirt to school and some girl said you looked like the Brawny paper towel guy. You stayed fit all through college but started to gain about 5lbs a year after that. You finally lost 50 lbs two years ago but really need to get 40 or 50 more off. In the last 2 years you have lost and gained the same 10lbs 3 times. Are you finally gonna get consistent this time?

Your own rather disgusted self

I'm so happy I came here! While I was just outside shopping at this ungodly hour, I was thinking about these 20 or so pounds I keep losing and regaining. The only solution is to get well out of this range. Time to get in gear!
On an aside I had no idea that you got your name that way!
