To The Historian...
 

My brother,

It is amazing and encouraging to hear what you have accomplished these past
10 months. Like myself, you have become committed to change your lifestyle
for the better without the use of pills or surgery.

You ARE an inspiration to those you interact with or see you on a daily
basis, even though they may not acknowledge it.

I am always encouraged when I read your posts of victories - large or small,
as they help me to keep focus on the prize when I stumble.

Thank you for being a part of this group and congratulations!

I just love the way you men support each other - including keeping
track on some of the other guys who participate here as well.

To me it's one of the heartwarming things about this group, and sure
helps to counteract some of the less edifying stuff we have to wade
through.

FWIW, I'm sure you are both an inspiration to many here.

Matty, that was far too much praise. I am just a guy struggling to lose
weight. At times successfully, and at times less successfully, but
struggling just the same.

No room for mascots in this fat man's army, Ma'am.

Are you limiting your roll call to males?

We could turn this into a roll call for all members. There are quite a few
new members and I would love to hear the stats for everyone.

I guess women should be allowed to join the fat man's army.

Ok, I'll fall in. My stats are in my sig. I've lost the weight by
eating less, eating better, and taking up exercise, mainly walking. I
used to live off of fast food. I would literally eat at Jack in the Box
5 nights a week. And I ate though big Hungry man dinners for lunch
while at work. During my ten minute breaks, I would stuff my face as
with as many pretzels as I could. I'd have a couple of full sugar
sodas, and maybe a candy bar and some chips. Now I eat things like
beans with salsa in whole tortilla, Boca fake chicken sandwich, a
sandwich with low calorie wheat bread and turkey with FF mayo, and I
drink ALOT of iced tea with Splenda instead of the soda.

Oh, I've also bought and use an electronic food scale. Now when I eat
cereal and chips and whatnot, I actually eat just one serving instead of
half the box.
