Hi everyone,

I'll begin by introducing myself. I'm 21, Male, live in Chicago, IL. Been "chubby" since I was around 7, got fat somewhere inbetween, and out of control overweight in college. Never had a scale for years and after having boughts with gout in my ankel and wearing 3XL shirts I bought a scale and decided enough was enough. I wrestled 189 weight class freshmen year of high school and got to around 220 later in high school. April of 2006 I weighed 290 from the doctors office. Then when I bought a scale on July 10th 2007 I wasn't really surprised to be 321. I figured over 300 because I could feel I was bigger when I sat down. I really didn't think *I* could ever weigh 300 pounds though, that was *those people*.

That day I made a decision that was the most I would ever weigh and I'd never weigh that much again. Today I have lost 15% of my body wight (48 pounds). I'm 5'8" and would like to get to 160, maybe even 150 or 140. Taking it one step at a time.

I'll include some pictures. :hat:

are you a tshirt collector or did you go to Berklee? or Montana?

:D

you're pretty cute...

hey chicago neighbor :) you need to come to thelakefront path -I need cute boys to look at :D
 
lol...I guess I do collect tshirts in a way.

I went to Berklee for a year, and U of Montana for 2 years. Now I live in Chicago (well the burbs).

For all the Chicago people on the board, you can probably spot me at various concerts, that's my thing. So many shows this summer.
 
Maybe Lolla.

A friend of mine really likes George Michael, so I'll go. I enjoy some of his songs.

Seeing James Taylor, Rod Stewart, Crosby Stills and Nash, Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder at Summerfest (saw him in September too), Ringo, many more.
 
I had a big milestone today. The last 10 pounds have taken awhile to lose. Up and down and up and down, but today I finally made it to the 50 pound loss mark. :party:

Start date: July 10, 2007 - 321
As of now: April 16, 2008 - 271

40 weeks and one day = 281 days = 622 average calorie loss per day.

We may have met at once and not noticed it! (I'm from Bozeman and always did the jazz festivals and whatnot in Missoula.)

Congrats on hitting that 50 pound loss mark, that is amazing!!
 
Hey thanks!

I don't remember going to much in Missoula. Saw the Stones there and flew back for Elton. Originally from Billings.

Congrats on losing 50 pounds!!! Keep the pace going so we can celebrate the new year with you hitting 100 pounds.
 
Hey :) I know you haven't posted here lately but I saw you have posted recently other places so I came by to say hi. I just joined the challenge you started "75lbs in 2008". It doesn't seem very active but hopefully that will change if it keeps getting bumped so come back and post :D
