I'm telling you, it looks to me like you hit your "ideal" weight a few pounds ago. You are a big guy, right? Don't get too skinny! What does your wife think? <br /><br />I am biased, of course. My DH is 6'1" and last night he told me he is at 231. He looks great to me. Maybe 10 lbs to lose, but thats it. <br /><br />Looking at your before pic, seems like just 50 or so pounds would have done the trick for you. But what do I know? You have done an amazing thing, thats for sure.<br /><br />Make sure you don't lose the beard along with the pounds! Looks great on you.Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414571860592267584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-38773592072535183242009-10-10T18:39:30.796-05:002009-10-10T18:39:30.796-05:00Mr Jack, thanks for the poem.

He died before he was 50 - his demon (addiction) was alcohol. <br /><br />Yet he writes a poem asking his "father" to fight against old age. I have a few theories as to the meaning of the poem but no one here wants to read them.<br /><br />I like to smoke cigars and use to get testy with overweight people who give me health advice. I no longer. I feel sorry for them like I do Thomas. Living their battles through others. Begging others to fight something they are too weak overcome.<br /><br />Have a nice day and thanks for the post.mythreemonthokinawadiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080329952261947963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-70592153084667986702009-10-10T18:35:50.703-05:002009-10-10T18:35:50.703-05:00I cannot believe you posted something this awesome...I cannot believe you posted something this awesome on a Saturday!?!?
