gigantic primitive plugging away; congratulations in order

Oh my.

The gigantic primitive's doing good, and deserves some accolades.

I knew it would happen when the gigantic primitive started paying attention to our helpful hints here, and so congratulations to us too.

Now 55% of the way towards my weight loss goal! (cross-post)
   
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

I challenge anyone and everyone who is battling weight and/or health issues to make a two week commitment to The McDougall Plan! You don't have to buy anything special whatsoever. No books, no supplements. Just the right foods, consumed in whatever quantities make you feel happy and satisfied. All the information you need is right there on the site, and if you want some real motivation, check out the Star McDougaller stories, or read through some of the posts on their forums. You will be glad you did.

Alright, I'm coming down off my soapbox now. Thanks for reading, and best of luck on your weight loss journeys!

No primitive responses at this campfire.

But despite the impressive feat of getting slim and trim and svelte after weighing more than a quarter of a ton, the gigantic primitive's work's only just begun, and we all need to encourage him in the unfinished stuff.

Like, is he circa 55% of the way to getting a job?

I'm more concerned about his long suffering wife. She has to be a saint.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

You know, I missed something; I didn't pay attention to the embedded link.

It must be all the blowing snow up here on the roof of Nebraska.

Anyway.

Two things to be thankful for -- my loving wife and my 55% progress to weight goal!
   
Previous thread I posted in this forum back in March when I was closing in on 35%:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

This is a couple of days late, but I meant for it to be posted on Thanksgiving day.

I'm now at 343, which is my lowest weight since 2001. I'm hoping to get under 300 by my birthday in March of 2011, whereupon I'll be at my lightest weight in 20 years. My eventual goal will be somewhere around 200.

I'm feeling pretty good, and I'm amazed that I'm able to keep this up in the face of a lot of stressful situations we have going on in our lives right now. First and foremost among those is the fact that my wife is going through a complete nightmare trying to get a copy of her birth certificate, and until she has it she can't get a State ID card, can't even apply for work, and is basically an "unperson." There's a lot more, but I'm not going to get into it here. I've been forced to curtail what I say here, as well as on the McDougall website due to some The assholes over at the "cave" (website full of little cretinous little petty-ass cyber-bullies who love to stalk DU'ers) don't need any more ammo at this time.

I never would have come this far without the help of Dr. McDougall and his advocacy of a starchy, plant-based diet. I continue to eat well, considering that we're in the poor house, and rarely stray from the plan.

A graph of my progress so far:

after which a graph showing the gigantic primitive's bowel movement index (BMI) to be 42.9

Once I hit 300, I'll post some "before" and "during" photos here. I still have a way to go, but I'm a very different person now than I was at 519!

1. Congrats to you!
   
Thanks for checking in with your progress.

Now, that's disgraceful, utterly disgusting.

Only one primitive bothered to congratulate the gigantic primitive.

I'll bet he gets more congratulations over here, from us, than he does from all the primitives on Skins's island.

That says something about us, and about the primitives.

Even if it is a DUmmy it is nice to see a person take their life back and maybe in the process will see that always wailing about how unfair life is doesn`t do any good.

That is why maybe his fellow primitives don`t care now...he is doing something for himself and they believe that is either impossible or not supposed to be.

They shun success of any kind.

Good on him. Now when he gets to target weight, I bet he demands some government paid operation to put his skin back in order.

You know, even if he does consider us cretinous stalkers, I think he has done a very good job.  I'm glad he found a system that has worked for him, and I hope he continues to improve his health.   :cheersmate:

You know, madam, I saw that remark too, and remembered how I had been taught as a little lad.

When a person says something rude, best to pretend it was never said, and carry on.

Also, this sparks franksolich's interest:

.....don't need any more ammo at this time.

An admission there's more ammunition.

So.....franksolich sits back, relaxes, gets mellow, waiting for the ammunition--after all, the gigantic primitive admits to more of it--to inevitably explode.

One wonders what the "more ammunition" is, but all good things in time.....

In case you're not familiar with the case, madam, for the longest time the gigantic primitive was on a plateau, about a quarter of a ton.  He then left Skins's island for what he thought might be greener shores, that MacDougall site.  But alas there too the gigantic primitive remained on a plateau.

Several months later, decent and civilized people found him in his new digs, and prodded him with advice, encouragement, good wishes, after which the gigantic primitive finally at long last slid off that plateau.

It's all here in the DUmpster; it was only after the gigantic primitive's pleas for help and insight, pleas to which we ourselves quickly responded, that that happened.

Is there anyway we can give him a VIP award for all he's accomplished?

I was sort of halfway vaguely somewhat thinking about giving the gigantic primitive a special award this year, given that he demonstrates the wisdom of listening to decent and civilized people, but I changed my mind.

His "more ammo" comment perked the nostrils.

The gigantic primitive admits he's got more ammunition.

Well, well.

Now one must wait and see, as the gigantic primitive's  ammunition inevitably explodes in his face.

I dunno where the primitives get this rather quaint notion that they're smarter than Richard Nixon, when it comes to covering up things.

The truth always outs itself.....and usually through the mouths of those trying to lie.

You know, lars, sir, I recall that once the gigantic primitive addressed that issue, but it was so long ago I've disremembered his excuse.

I suspect, however, that because the gigantic primitive's been on our dime for quite a while now, perhaps his free medical care decided it wasn't a good idea, or decided it wasn't worth the money.

The deal is, the gigantic primitive never needed his stomach stapled shut; he needed his jaws stapled shut.

My husband's employee had that procedure done a few years ago, and he's still very large and eats a whole pizza (like a large form Pizza Hut) to himself.  Then he gets really mad at my husband because he's fit and able to move around much faster.

Those stomach staples are only good for those who actually intend to use it as a "starting point" to lose weight.  If you still scarf down the food, then there's no point in wasting the money.

We should all be proud of his progress. He may say nasty things about us but we did boot his ass off that plateau with tough love. If it makes us the bad guys in his eyes so be it. It worked.

Yeah, it worked, and so that's all good.

I was all set up to give the gigantic primitive a special award this year.....that is, until I noticed his "more ammo" comment.

The gigantic primitive's admitted he's got more ammunition for us.

So instead of giving a special award to the gigantic primitive, I'm just going to sit back, watch, and wait, until his ammunition that he's hiding explodes.
