Oh my.

As incredible as the weight seems, remember it's still a hundred pounds less than the Las Vegas Leviathan.

Hey all,

Not sure if many remember me from DU 2(I was petersond), but I've had a very hard two years in terms of weight gain/loss. I think the last time I posted on DU 2 about my weight I was around 350 or so, and in Nov of 2010 I sadly beat my all time weight high of 425lbs, by getting up to 467lbs.

In January of 2011 I start my gradual weight loss, I lasted about 5 months and got to 436 and quit. I then went about a whole year without any working out/dieting persay but I pretty much maintained my 437.

In June of this year I start exercising again, walking at first just to get my ass moving, doing anything, and I told myself I wouldn't post here until I got below 400, which...is why I'm here now. I'm down to 394 and I hope to keep it going this time around.

I felt like such a failure the past 2yrs, both in my personal life and with my weight. I was so down I didn't even want to post in the old DU 2 forum because I felt like a failure.

Its crazy how I let myself go this time around, I usually put the brakes on when I get near/just over 400 and this time around my give a shit was no where to be seen...even as I grew from a 3x into a 4, and quickly into a 6, and almost into a 7. I have never bought anything bigger than a 4x before, and this time around I had to get 5x and 6, and almost had to get into a damn 7.

I'm currently doing 40 minutes a day on a exercise bike, which I'm currently doing just over 11.6 miles a day, and I throw in a day or two of walking two miles. My diet is about the same as it is when I do my weight loss thing, but this time around I'm adding a lot of v*****s, but with that I have to deal with my blood thinner meds, but I allow myself to eat some moderate greens for a few weeks, and give myself 12 days of zero greens to get my INR back in range.

I thought I'd just drop by and say hello, I haven't posted much, and I apologize for that...I just need to keep going and going, and I cannot stop this time, I'm getting older and I have to nip this now. I hope all of you are doing well in your journey, good luck and best wishes to all.

franksolich's sincere good luck to you, but next time you run into your big brother the Las Vegas Leviathan, remind him that he promised a progress report several weeks ago, and thus far no progress report.

It makes one suspect he's got no progress to report.

If Kirk ever got down to a slender 394, he'd get a job with in Vegas with Cirque du Soleil.

With his huge flippers, that Cirque "O" show at Bellagio would be right down his alley.

He could zoom around under water like an elephant seal.

Like I told my wife's friend who was ecstatic about losing ten pounds:

"Flick a pebble off a mountain and you still got a mountain."

I really think members of the group that considers themselves to be smarter than everyone else should not use terms/words they don't know how to spell.

In January of 2011 I start my gradual weight loss, I lasted about 5 months and got to 436 and quit. I then went about a whole year without any working out/dieting persay but I pretty much maintained my 437.

But then again, this one is an example of one who doesn't grasp the concept of eat less/move more = less girth.

I've asked this question before, like maybe four or five times, and never got an answer.

When people this large are ready to rise from the commode, but have one last thing to do, how do they possibly do it?

It seems to me one would have to have pretty long and flexible arms to reach.

I'd be out of luck for sure.  I have short arms.

As always, Amazon to the rescue:

Okay, if you thought Americans were getting too fat and too lazy, well now marketers and inventors agree with you....Some company has created a new "butt-wiper-wand" device for people who can't reach their butt to wipe it on their own!!! WTF!!! Watch the commercial below..this is a REAL commercial and not a spoof:

You can always drape the bath mat over the side of the tub and do the scoot-scoot across it.

I'm wondering if Nadine has been to that site or maybe created it!
