Once a Fat Man......but NEVER again.

WELL... this looks like the place to hang out.... new furniture, new paint and loads of innuendos... I LOVE it!:cheers2:

Hello lovely people! I am afraid I had to pay the doorman, my legs look like marshmellows...

Hello Brian, just wanted to suggest... if your childhood was crappy.. perhaps it was the same for your brother? And hes got issues that dont show like weight does? I know a lot of my problems came from the wicked witch from the west and whatever partner she was on at the time.. for me I got fat, my sis became a drinker and my brother became an asshole.....

For not commenting on your obvious weight loss...... I confront people... im confrontational... I would say something sarcastic like... hello did you ppl NOT notice .. woulda been nice if u had said something... make them feel guilty for not being supportive...

But then again he might have been jealous?... my family gets jealous anytime you do well...

Hello. Welcome. Farewell to your sanity. At this point the sanest one of us is Trops . . . and he's eccentric as hell. But welcome. :D

Nice place, Brian. *looking at Ali and Angela and Amanda* Love the decor.

Thanks guys for making this feel like home. :)

OK. So the dreaded visit to the brothers house happened today. I have a tendency to overblow things. This was one. My brother and idiot in law both had normal reactions to my wife's pregnancy. Oh my brother had some snarky comments after the initial reaction but that was to be expected from him. His wife still does not understand all we went through to get pregnant but again- to be expected.
The issue is we were in the pool and on the deck and milling around and not one frickin comment about the obvious weight loss. I really cannot understand this.....
I mean0 it is 40 lbs for the love of Mike.....

Oh well- I know they noticed it. And again- I have a tendency to overblow things, I know shocking....- and this was one.

All in all a pleasant day although the weather here was interesting..

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Thanks for reading my drivel. :D

Sometimes people dont comment on it even though they notice it! I always try to comment on weight loss if I see it because dealing with extra weight I appreciate what a "your looking good comment" can do for your self esteem.

I have also noticed that sometimes "jealous" people tend not to comment on someone elses success. Keep up the good work and dont let anyone get you down...your doing this for you not them so if they cant comment on it screw em :seeya:

No, see my brother was always the irritating popular one in High school. He gained a hell of a lot of weight and now looks like crap but will never admit it. He had a typical childhood, mine was crappy. He enjoys being the center of attention and would never allow it to go on me.

But I'm not bitter. :D

I am only confrontational at work. In my personal life I am timid overall.

The decor is nice here now but we do need to do something about the furniture.......
Although with Trops bringing a kegorator things are looking up.

*ahem*
Ill take that sandwich whenever you 2 are up to it. :D
 
So today was pretty good overall. The project that just started is looking like it may run well after all. I chalk it up to luck not good management. I drove the hell all around Chicagoland today from store to store. Really sucks.
But all is well.
I ate reasonably well today and had a good workout.
Going to run tomorrow- 5 or 6 miles- to get things really going. My groin is healed I think but I do want to still take it slow. I may only run once this week again but and going to try to stretch it out another mile.

Hi all. :D

Hi cutie!!!

I ran today. I hated every second of it...glad to hear you are well :)

You ran???
You????

Oh Lord.....
Seriously Ali- running is not that bad. I smoked for 18 fricking years and am planning on running 6 miles tomorrow. If I can do that you can run a wee bit.

It is great for endurance and the best weight loss exercise I have found yet.. :)

Boo Hoo baby. Life hurts.

Seriously- everything that is 'easy' now was hard at some point right?
This is another thing to make 'easy' for you.

You have too much desire and want to not give this a good month try.
3 times a week.
for 2 miles or so at a stretch.
with a warm up.
and stretch afterwards
