New to Fatbloggers
Hello. I’m a friend of John T’s from college days. I’ve been following FatBloggers for a while and decide to come in from the cold. This is my first post on FatBloggers or any other blog. Apparently resistance was futile.
I finally got sick of my knees hurting and running out of breath getting the news paper when I hit about 275. My official weightwatchers starting weight was 271.1
Today’s weight: 229
Loss to date: 41.1 pounds
Goal: 196 (what I weighed when I graduated college)
Fatblogger’s has been great inspiration to get over the inertia. When i was in the best shape of my life (lifting weights & cardio 3x per week) I still weighted 235, so getting under that was a major milestone. Anything less is unexplored territory for the past 15 years or so.
One new thing to add to the list of benefits of weightloss: Yesterday I gracefully slipped and fell on my ass. As I peeled myself off the ground, it occured to me, ”That would have hurt a lot more 4o pounds ago!”

Welcome Jeff. Sounds to me as though you would have actually hurt yourself more now with less ass cushioning!

I see that Rick has you figured out.
Just give them time, they will see the enormity of your studliness.
Oh yeah…. good to have you aboard!
