My fat ass gets on a scale (Live TR + bonus NSFW)

Good job, march. Keep it up - not for women, not for what other people think, but for you.

I need to get my fat behind going as well (6'0", 258). The good news is that my son just entered junior high and we encouraged him to join the cross-country team so he could get some exercise, learn something about motivation and discipline and pushing himself, and to hang and have fun with his best bud. That in turn means I need to start doing some running with the boy.

I know I'll never hit my lowest college weight of 178 again but it sure seems like something in the 200-220 range would be good to shoot for. I know I'd look and feel better in that weight range.

Great job.

When you go shopping for a new wardrobe... that tie should be the first to go.

"Nice job, but I hope you realize how atkins works and that if you don't get your ass into gym right about now AND start a balanced carb diet, you will regain everything at much higher rate than you were loosing it?"

Both of the above are part of the actual atkins diet, or atkin's 'lifestyle.' Many people have the misconception that no carbs ever = atkin's, which really isn't the case.

OP,

Grats on the success and progress, and keep up the good work. Truer words couldn't be said about the realities of being fat. A comedian I can't think of the name of once said something along the lines of "Yeah, all the fat people I know say they would do anything not to be fat... Except eat less, get some excercise once in awhile, stop gorging on sweets, etc." As a fatass realist, I agree with him, but there is definitely another variable that is hard to describe, outside of pure weakness really. It's especially bad when you do realize that you don't want to be weighed, have a picture taken of you, be seen in a gym or swimming pool, etc.
