A lesson in NEVER giving up -- 221 pounds gone and below 300 for first time in over 20 years.

This morning was one of the happiest and emotionally draining which I've had the pleasure of experiencing in many years. My journey from the clutches of super-morbid obesity has just passed one of its most important milestones, in that for the first time since late '90 or early '91 I am carrying less than 300 pounds on my 6'3" frame.

This has been accomplished only with the help of diet. Few people escape major illness once they have topped the 500 pound mark, and sadly I'm the rule and not the exception. I won't get into excessive gory detail here, but among my more serious problems was (and continues to be though to a lesser extent) ulcerations of the legs and feet due to type 2 diabetes and venous insufficiency. Finding shoes to wear which aren't excruciatingly painful is very difficult, and so walking remains difficult for me, especially now that one of my knees is about to completely give out. It is a blessing -- in a perverse sort of way I guess -- that this knee managed to hold without locking and buckling until now, because having that problem on top of all the others would have rendered me totally immobile. As it is now I can't carry anything breakable or weighing more than a couple of pounds lest I drop it, because I have to have something to lean on at all times just to shuffle around; but most of my excess weight is now gone and that has to count for something!

I have Dr. John McDougall and his McDougall Plan, which is a plant-based diet of mostly complex starches, supplemented with veggies and fruits, to thank for this slow but prolonged weight loss. I truly believe I owe Dr. McDougall my very life at this point. There is just no way I could have progressed this far without such a low calorie density eating plan, but the best news of all is that after several years of eating this way my appetite has dropped considerably which then lends itself to more natural weight loss.

I'm still kind of drained and tired from the news on the scale this morning, so I'm going to stop for now. Any DUers with questions, feel free to ask!

And as an aside to our little den of Cave-dorks, who have been doing their little moron ritual dance over my every word for years now because I dare to be fat and liberal: Please, please make me another couple of new threads on the first page of your little DUmp. You guys have such a way of making me smile with all your cute little assumptions and distortions! Get on it now GO GO GO GOGOGOGOGOGO!! Rally around the Sow-Lick and make some of your comedic magic happen!!

Why do leftists always say that quoting their own words are lies or in this case assumptions and distortions?

OK

Drop another fifty, then come back to us on that.
Your move, if you can manage that.

You're not exactly in a minority there.

Good luck with that.

WOW. 221 pounds of fat gone, what an achievement.  

Any idea how much meat at that weight would cost to fill my freezer ?????

  You go man go, before you know it your friends you have not seen in a couple of years will wonder who the hell you are.

 Heck the more weight you loose the bigger your dick will look, loose a good 50 more pounds and you will be hung like a donkey,  
a fun thing to look forward to.

You can't make that kind of shit up!

Unless you have glandular problems, I have zero tolerance for morbidly obese people. It is a flaw in their inner character. I will make fun of you in hope that you change from my ridicule. 300 much less 500 pounds is outrageous. Does the fat DUche know that he will get ZERO medical procedures under obamataxcare? I have a buddy that is fat but mostly from having ruined his knees working and ceasing activity due to pain. He goes to the VA (real Vietnam veteran) and they told him he had to lose 60 pounds before they would do any operations on his knees. The VA is what otaxcare will be like only worse. If he had gone to them two years ago he would have gotten it by now.

Kirk and his flippers! I'm sure he sees it as a blessing because it's a handy excuse for laying around the hovel all day, playing his premium computer games, bitching at Jeanette to get a job, and complaining about all the free handouts we give him.

But the leviathan is a DUmmy, and DUmmies lie, all the time they lie. If he's under 300, then I'm approaching anorexia. Pretty sure the LVL is still in the 400-500 range.

There are a number of people coming out now discussing the benefits of going around barefoot, or almost barefoot.   They claim that it is better for their feet and for their joints.  A bit of toughening up of the bottom of his feet and he could go around without shoes, and then it wouldn't be an issue anymore.

I agree. If he lost too much, the disability gravy train pulls away leaving him at the station.

Perhaps he should play basketball. The opponents couldn't move around without committing some sort of foul.

As a kid, I spent most the summers barefoot, even riding a 10-speed with the old "rat trap" pedals.

 ::)

becaues you are fat and liberal eh? How about fat, lazy, and full of excuses is more like it? I know plenty of WOMEN who are a foot shorter then you and carry that much and more and WORK ON THEIR FEET EVERYDAY. cook and clean their homes EVERYDAY. Care for children. Many of those went on to lose weight and engage more fully in life. I'm one and I know many other inspirational women, liberal and conservative like me. What mattered is they never made excuses and the majority continued to work through their morbid obesity. Many now run marathons and got there in a lot less time then it took you to shed what you did. It's not your weight hindering you now, LVL, it's your liberal attitude of a disability lifestyle. Prove us wrong, buddy. Work through that pain, get off your ass so your legs can get more circulation and heal--get off the ****ing gaming sites and move more then you do.
So tired of this bullshit. Like he's the first fat person to ever be where he is. Give me a ****ing break!

You also are ungrateful to boot seeing as you are biting the very hand that feeds you. It's that attitude that has people pissed at takers brother. Their sheer lack of gratitude at the people around them who keep them from sitting in a pool of their own urine on the street begging for coin. :hammer:

Blah, blah, blah. oink. oink. oink. Blah, Blah, Blah.

And as an aside to our little den of Cave-dorks, who have been doing their little moron ritual dance over my every word for years now because I dare to be fat and liberal: Please, please make me another couple of new threads on the first page of your little DUmp. You guys have such a way of making me smile with all your cute little assumptions and distortions! Get on it now GO GO GO GOGOGOGOGOGO!! Rally around the Sow-Lick and make some of your comedic magic happen!!
I am on the heavy side. and I WORK. I pay for my food. I pay for my car. I pay for everything.
I don't get govt help. I recently lost weight too. My pants are too big. I sew them tighter because I'm not going to ask the govt for new clothes.

You dare me to be fat and liberal. Dude, that is just stupid. If I was to live like you, I would live hand to mouth on the crumbs tossed down to me by a liberal govt. Unlike you, I have PRIDE. I will not live on the govt dole. I see disability as something to help disabled people, not a gravy train for lazy assholes like yourself.

I will never be liberal. If all is lost, and I have no hope of employment...I have enough money set aside to buy a ticket to Hawaii. I will head into the most rugged terrain I can find and fish, scavenge and farm for a few years.
I will be down and out in paradise. And here you are in Vegas.
That's the difference that pride makes. No matter what happens, I will live well.
