Hey everybody!

Long time no see... usually that means that I have fallen back into my bad habits, not this time though, current weight is 303.8, my official starting weight, I got my medical records to get the actual number was 682 lbs, so that means that I have officially lost 379 lbs. I still have a ways to go to get where I want to be. I think I looked best and healthiest around 250 lbs, I am 6'4 when I was sick from the lap band and dropped down to 215 lbs I looked sick IMHO, so I am making my goal 250 lbs, its realistic and something I can stick to.

So how to get to that goal? Back to basics:

Don't eat anything white.
Exercise.
Don't drink when you eat.
Protein first.

Some simple tools to get me where I'm going... I indulged and bought myself some Tupperware that measures the food for you, I know that is lazy, but for me to stay on track I need a tool to help me measure my foods.

I hope everyone is staying on track! You can do this, just take one day at a time, if that is to much to handle take one bite at a time, it works... Have a great week!

Hi Everybody!

It's been a while since I made a real blog post, but I really need to get back on track, and I'm gonna use all of your eyes and ears to do just that...

What's going on with me?

I had reconstructive ankle surgery on May 26th, 2017 to repair the failed fusion that I had done last summer. I am still in a walking boot, and I am having a ton of pain, I can't stand up for long, without feeling like I am going to die.

I am also having issues with my knees, I had a mri done on the left knee last year, I am having one done on the right knee on Monday. Doctor is fairly sure I need knee replacement but says I am too young to get them. He wants the mri of my right knee because it keeps locking and twisting inside causing a tremendous amount of pain, so after I get out of this boot, I will most likely be having knee surgery to clean up the horrible arthritis as well as the torn meniscus if there is one, he said that is what my symptoms sound like most.

Starting Weight: 680
Current Weight: 317

What I ate today:

Breakfast: Turkey Dog Wrapped in a Flour Tortilla with a slice of cheese
Lunch: 1/4 of Jack's Pepperoni Pizza
Dinner (Tentatively): A large salad with fat free raspberry vinaigrette and a tortilla
Snacks: Quaker Oats Granola Bar
              1/2 Bag Microwave Popcorn
Beverages: 2 Diet Sodas
                   6 Bottles of Water

Exercise Today: None

I posted a new video today, I hope you guys are prepared for the worst:

I hope that everyone is having a great Friday, I am thinking about starting some creative journaling on this blog, hopefully that doesn't bother anyone, I have a few story ideas, and I think it would be fun to post them here.

Back at it again...

I haven't been blogging here in a long time, I felt like I knew what I needed to eat... just a matter of follow through. Well after losing 320 lbs and getting ready for a panniculectomy I realize that I must start counting calories and tracking my activities.

Today is day one of this journey. It's three weeks till surgery and I am so excited to get on with this part of my life!

So here goes!

Day One:

Breakfast: 0 - Slept through it.

Lunch: Chicken Fajitas - 346
Sour Cream - 60
2 Tbsp Cheese - 25
Total - 431

I'll be back to post dinner soon :)

Master Cleanse - Day One

Hiya,

It's been a very long time since I've blogged, but it seems like I should start again.

Today was the beginning of my fourteen day journey with the master cleanse. I have to say that my stomach is pretty turned, but maybe that's how it works in the long run. Alot of people think I'm crazy for doing this cleanse... but in the end all that matters is the number on the scale.

Today:

8 Cups Master Cleanse Mix = 400
100 Ounces Water = O
Total Calories = 400

I'll be making daily vids to go along with this journey, so I'll attach them below as they are created.

Guess Who's Backkkkk!

I'm baccccccck!

It's food blogging time again, I've made a commitment to myself to write my food for 21 days, because as much as I hate the people whom this originated from I will do it, and I think that it will work.

Day One - 2/18/2010

*note - day's begin at midnight.

Middle of the night food:

1 cup froot loops (120)
1 cup cocoa puffs (120)
1 cup milk (130)
1 Slice cheese ( 70)
2 Baby Bell Cheese( 60)
Total: (500)

I will be back to post the rest of today's food later...

So I was wrong... I didn't eat anything else so this was my total calorie count for the day!

Shopping in the fat and odd section...

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here so I thought, what the heck let’s post something! You all get to be the benefactors of my most recent shopping experience. You may not like it, but you’ll probably read it anyway, because at least one of you have shared this experience.

So I don’t shop in stores, because I don’t like the stigma of walking into the fat and odd section, or God forbid entering one of those big and tall stores… btw why do women’s plus size stores get cute names like “Torrid” or “Fashion Bug” and I have to shop at a place called “The Casual Male” as if the only thing a fat man could be is casual? WTF? I know that this is a little bit of a ranty rant, but it is what it is and you’ll like it or not… honestly I don’t care which.

Moving on from the ridiculous name of the fat and odd, that’s what they should call it instead of big and tall… are we a building?

I move to the mens section of the www.jcp.com website and start to look around, I click on several things and am pleasantly surprised that they have them in my size… and it’s only like TEN or FIFTEEN dollars more expensive. I mean it’s not like I want to save any money or shop in the clearance section or anything. While I am not abreast of the fashion industry, I know what I like and it’s usually current or trendy clothes. I want to dress like others my age… but alas the fat and odd industry thinks that I want to dress like my grandfather.

Let’s address some individual clothing styles:

The Banded Bottom Colorblock Shirt: http://bit.ly/d51Es4
I do believe that my grandfather wore this particular shirt in 1994, I don’t think this fashion is experiencing a comeback. If this is the next staple in fashion, please shoot me in the head now! Let’s talk about how useful that band is in emphasizing my stomach fat and that bulge that develops from the pants that I wear.

Alexander Julian Chest Stripe Sweater-Big/Tall: http://bit.ly/c3suD2
This sweater was made famous in the eighties by Bill Cosby… wait no this is new, and ugly. The big ugly colored stripe in the middle won’t make me look bigger or anything. The color orange isn’t something that makes me look like a fat ass pumpkin either right? I want my friends to tear this shirt off of me if they ever see me wearing it.

St. John’s Bay® Fleece Vest - Big & Tall: http://bit.ly/cqWxqq
While I understand that vests are a look that happened a few years ago… fat men, please listen, don’t wear these, it points out your fat middle. This vest screams I’m to fat to find a jacket with sleeves… so I put on this vest. Sarcasm Service Graphic Tee: http://bit.ly/ccPcwnGraphic tees with super awesome fleur de lis, or music graphics, or retro style are amazing and look great underneath a plain button down shirt… but please make the “clever sayings” shirts stop! I don’t want to read your shirt, if I wanted to read something I would do it on the toilet like every other fat man. Please these shirts aren’t funny or clever, just STOP!

Finally…Activewear Section: http://bit.ly/bBNjH6
Why are there only 20 items in the big and tall activewear section? Most of them are socks, why is that ok? I mean obviously we aren’t active eh? It’s as if they are calling us lazy, because we don’t need athletic wear or anything. These clothes are also the ugliest things I’ve ever seen, I have seen some amazing activewear from places like Undergear, obviously they don’t cater to the fat man either, because they figure that we don’t have income that can be spent.

Clothing manufacturers please wake up, fatties have money to spend, they probably aren’t going out to the club every weekend, because that environment isn’t comfortable for us either. Make your stores a comfortable place to be, please don’t hire weightist staff, and take our complaints seriously, if your staff offends one person they will most likely offend others, and that word of mouth gives your stores a negative reputation, and it will keep me out of them for sure.

So tell me, have you had a bad experience?

Plese watch and pass this video on...

A couple people have suggested that I compose a book about my life and lap band before and after. I haven't made any formal decisions. If I do this, I would really like to add the comments that I receive as they are so supportive. If you don't mind your username appearing in text in something I compose could you please comment below? Also, if you think these blogs would help anyone on their journey I would greatly appreciate your opinions. I know only a few of you read this, but you are important to me.

I have a more personal blog at:

Take care and thanks to all who read these and comment, you really mean alot to me.

Today Begins A New Turn...

For those who read this regularly, you may not agree with the road that I've decided to go down and I completely understand that it may not be the healthiest thing to do. This is my life and I only have one chance to live it, I need a change now.

Today I begin a full liquids plan, only full liquids. This includes: Yogurt, pudding, milk, protein shakes, water, diet fruit drinks.

Liquids so far:

12 ounces milk (195)
16 ounces water

I can't take this anymore, I can't tolerate my life. I do not encourage anyone to do this, but it is something that I have to do.

Hi There Old Friends
