Remember me?

WooHoo....the buck-meister is back!!!! Nice to hear from you again......many many posts a few months back often said stuff like "wait'll buckeye gets ahold of this one" etc etc....and then we all kinda realized you weren't around.... It was our loss and we all did miss you dearly! But....you're back! Yea!!! lotsa new guys here....and lotsa items to look at thread wise.... course, most of us will remember many many of your own posts...and I gotta thank you for 'em all! times are good!!!! Jim PS notice my sig below? yup, 57 weeks after my own WLS day and I'm BELOW goal!!!

BJ, Hey my brother from another mother...... How the hell are you doing Bubba!! I read you previous posting and I'm glad you are back on the right path. and back in the locker room where you belong. Nice to see some of the old gang around the board these days. I have not talked to you since Joe, Dex, Dave, and CF were all at the Locker Room gathering in KY last year. Colonel Dave in Louisville, KY is going through hell right now with cancer in his neck, be he is through the worst right now. We should really have a locker room reunion somewhere one of these days so everyone can finally me. I'm doing pretty good these days. I bottomed out back in April07 at 218lbs for a total loss of 242lbs and so far I have stayed within 5 lbs of that number. I traded in the gym and weightlifting for mountain hiking (9-10 miles) and volleyball every weekend. I still doing well. Looks like my son will be at UNC next year just down the road from your boy... We are waiting to hear if he is a National Merit Scholar Finalist, I think he has a good shot with a score of 2280 on the new SATs. Take Care my brother and welcome back, Tim

Tim,

Sitting in that Mustang, you look like a man going through mid life crisis. How do you keep the ladies off you? Yep.. I remember talking to you down in Ky. I wish I could have made that meeting. Sounds like your son is a pretty smart kid and has a bright future…. He must take after his mother. It just so happens, I was down is Durham this past weekend for Duke’s Parents weekend. My other kid at Elon and he drove over to hang out….I also must concede, my kids get their brains from their mother….but their good looks are from me. See you on the board.

Jim, You handsome devil.... You look great. I hope to stick around for while. This board gives me some accountability that will help me get back down to my fighting weight. I look forward to mixing it up with the guys again. I hope the new guys know not to take me too seriously. Good Luck.

hey my man! really good to see you back. i've been mia for a few weeks myself but just had to say hi again. talking addiction for a second while you were away i had some real problems with pain meds the pain management doc had me on. had to kick it twice. a real nightmare to say the least. now i just deal with pain or use my interferential device.

anyway, enough about that i just wanted to welcome you back. for you new guys, this here is a real legend.....lol. you know, dave from japan took up your mantel as the exercise guru. now that you're back you can post those great free weight programs you have. as for me i still lift and i run about 3 miles daily for cardio. so i've gotten pretty fit in the past couple years. due to the low fat and cardio i got pretty ripped too. so no complaints here.....lol

just damn good to have you back on the board........carbonblob

Holy **** Carbon…You got some serious guns. You are the poster boy for WLS. It looks like your lifting program is working just fine. Thanks for sharing about the pain killers. To me it’s all the same stuff. Addictions of choice could be food, alcohol or pain killers. I am going back to my exercise addiction… where no one gets hurt. I am staring back up again... but I never really quit, I just lifted once or twice a week… and left out the cardio. Now, I am going to get back in my 5-6 day lift/cardio/yoga routine. I am going to be the poster boy again. Good Luck

What's up dude!

Hey Gus, I am back to stir things up in here. It looks like the WLS has done wonders for you. You look great.....and I mean that in a manly way.

Lets see, buckeye john.........buckeye john..........buckeye john, oh yeah you were that obnoxious guy that use to post here. Just bull ****ting. Every time I would see ollgeezer's avitar or see some one from Ohio post here I would wonder what happened to you. I all ways looked forward to yours, wad's, boner, cf and carbonblob's posts. I lurked here for a long time and I found that you were a bunch regular guys that had been where I was and were where I wanted to be and would tell it like it was, no BS and thanks to you no more WOW moments. Welcome back. pan head

Thanks Pan Head, Yep that me....obnoxious Buckeye....with a big mouth...and nothing to back it up.  I hope I can get back into the board again. I hope you guys did not go soft on me while I was gone.
