Its hard to argue with that.

Had a B-LAST Saturday night in Starkville watching M-State beat up on the Aggies 28-13! 
Drive home yesterday was long and my ass was dragging big time today but unfortunately I had no contact with any Aggies I know! Go back in three weeks to watch State playing Arkansas. Can't go back for game this weekend because of scheduling issues. Besides we sold the tickets already.
Needless to say eating and exercise got wonkied. Plan today was going to vote and get the dog from vet after work but got to doing some investigating on a case and hit pay dirt. Try to get back on track tomorrow. Will have the house to myself for a while when I get home.
Have a great rest of the week!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
This week was my 10 year anniversary.
I have not been exercising or watching what I eat now for years. It was an email in my inbox and several discussions with my wife that brings me back around.
Life has been a roller coaster. I was on SS Disability and walked with a cane from 2012 to 2016. I was (and still) deal with severe nerve pain in my back, neck and extremities. I went back to school in 2013. I went back to work in 2016. 3 months ago I finished my bachelors.
4 weeks ago I started my masters degree and got a job promotion.
My oldest is married and has 2 kids. My second oldest is in the Marine Corps. Our 3rd oldest is starting college in a few months.
My health has not been the greatest. My wife still has a heart condition and recently found out she has had a mild stroke. All of the health scares and my weight have been concerns for years. We finally decided to get back on track.
I currently weigh 286 :( - doctors would still consider this a success as my heaviest was 427. I would like to get back down to 200 and to start exercising.
My body hurts all the time, I go to work to take care of my family, but I am miserable sitting, standing, and laying. At one point in 2012 I was addicted to pain medication. I had to go cold turkey off of all of it and suffered withdrawals for 6 weeks.
I could use motivation and advice. I feel old at just 45 years of age. I want to feel younger and have a fuller life and to enjoy working and playing again.
Thanks,
Dan

I've been trying to switch to black coffee only, with limited success. If I have the Nespresso at home or in hotels its fine black because the whipping makes it creamy textured, at least. And in the mornings I have been drinking mostly tea for my big cup. But when I go to the Blackhawks games, there is so little that I can eat from the concession stands that I usually get a decaf coffee and its hard to resist adding some half and half. Same thing with the afternoon Starbucks.
From both a money and a calorie standpoint, I would probably be better off giving up my Hawks tickets, but I don't know if I can do that.
Bob, I'm sure there was once a time where 198 seemed an unattainably low weight, I know it still does for me. Now it ****** you off. Its funny how perspective changes.
Watched Notre Dame vs. Navy last night. Usually I root for Notre Dame but its hard to root against the kids from the service academies. I'm not going to cheer against a guy who may be in combat a year from now.

Not happy with the gain. Mindless eating at night most likely the culprit.
Good week to all.
Thanks for sharing - I was interested in someone who had RNY what a long term result looked like.
HW 415 CW 388 - just enrolled in 12 week courses beginning 11.28.18 so am hoping if all goes well to have RNY March or April 2019
I recently started watching the program and one thing that stood out to me was how the doctor always encourages his patients to begin therapy. It's really a shame this man succumbed to his demons, especially at such a young age.
