365 - Day 1 "In the Beginning..."

[wogsland]

You are my hero Sharpy.

[konstancek]

LOL I meant a "chubby" depressed teenager :P

I'm not bragging, at all. Just sharing some of my weirdness with you as you have shared some of your realness with me. Oh...and FYI my birthday is 2 days after yours. Take Care :o)

[welcomestranger]

A double party! :)

[konstancek]

Hey Michael. So glad I went back to look at your Day 1. Even tho' I am 110lbs now I can't forget what it was like to be a cubby, depressed teenager. Then at 27 I gained weight again just to show someone, who couldn't believe I was ever fat, that I could. Silly, I know. Four children later, I can't gain more than 5lbs and always lose it right away, if I do gain any.

[jackargy]

Over-reacting! You would live past fifty even if u were 50 lbs fatter! You're not THAT fat, but still good luck going from gut to cut!

[ElizaVideos]

Regardless of weight, I think you look cute and have a great voice.

[djdevo]

Oh yeah, and I'm wearing a Cardiac Event Monitor right now... I think I have arhythmia (sp). Doc's not worried, but when I feel like I'm having the irregular beats, I'm supposed to push Record.

:O 327 lbs.??? Are you sure that translation is correct? You don't look more than 200.

[djdevo]

I've had 3/4 of a No bake cookie, and half of a blended coffee drink today. I'm hungry. I'm going to have a slice of Pizza and a Whiskey and Cran. After I eat, I'll come back and see where you're at NOW. My problem is lack of exercise.

[jonandra]

Cutting/down or out foods with refined sugars and starches helps a lot. Please, be sure to maintain your calories, or you'll "yo-yo" your weight back. Excercise, a little more often is better than a lot every now and then. Stay healthy, stay happy, don't make it a chore. Good luck if this is what you really want!

[briejuh]

GO SHARPY!!!! we'll back ya up :) love brie, sal, kosa 'thats how i roll man' & nat :)

[welcomestranger]

Ahhh the old gang :D

[creativefisher]

Wow, I think it's great what you are doing, but seriously I think you look fantastic. I do understand though you may want to feel healthier.  A good thing to do is find something you enjoy doing that includes exercise. Perhaps a sport or something like that. I myself have found jogging to be the only thing that quickly burns off the pounds for me. Only 1 mile a day can make a huge difference. :) Good luck, and I will be watching.

[3SixtyFive]

Awww thanks :) I would jog, but I look like a goose attempting to do it at the moment... maybe as time goes on I will.

[losetogain]

You have a great attitude about it and very solid reasons.

I have about a year to go as well. Let us take this journey together.

Can't wait!!

Welcome to the group.

[IslandofMystery]

[singpentecostal]

Hey you might want to check out gut to cut, we're a group of guys working on losing weight and building muscle.

[3SixtyFive]

Thanks for that :) All joined and ready to burn!

[batsnz]

Congratulations on deciding to make a positive change. Its a hard step.

Good luck. I'll be rooting for you.

[mustang6172]

Good luck with your diet, but to provide a sense of scale, could you fill us in on how tall you are?

[3SixtyFive]

I am 182cm or 6ft... the majority of my weight is around my waist...

[NutCheese]

29 freaked me out too.. wake up call. I am now 30 healthier and happier... best of luck to you.

[Dickens123]

Hello Michael:

Welcome Stranger sent me your way. Good luck to you. I am a firm believer in daily vigorous exercise! Go for it! Ill share this & give you 5 stars for a great start!

[3SixtyFive]

Yeah, that welcomestranger guy is pretty smart isn't he? :D Thanks for watching

[3SixtyFive]

It can only be good for us :)

[dananddanfilms]

Best o'luck Mr Sharp, Dan and Dan will be rooting for you. We too have been guiltily hiding our own particular waist-sizes well below the camera frame...

[3SixtyFive]

Yes... strategically placed camera angles have always been a good hiding device...

[livieb]

Go for it Michael!! You can do it. I had the same revelation when I was turning 30 and have lost 30kg so far (20 to go). I will be watching and supporting you every step of the way.

[3SixtyFive]

Thanks Liv!

[nodysseus]

You and my man digitilsoul have got me signed up! I'll be rooting for you!

[magnoliess]

Well done.

[3SixtyFive]

Thank you :)

[BNDS9]

I'm With you man.

[3SixtyFive]

Thanks for the support :)

[olivertothescott]

Great news and best of luck to you. Well, actually I don't think I should be wishing you luck, I believe you when you tell me you'll exercise and diet. So, my condolences instead for what you'll go through. I know superbastard and bangtun have also started a group called 'gut to cut' which has become very succesful.

[3SixtyFive]

Thanks for letting me know about them... I've added myself to the group :)
