Hi Dustin, hope all is well.... sounds like your doing great.... what kind of diet are you on? low fat, low carb, south beach??? I am back on you tube again.... really never started.... have you ever heard of Gary Taubes? he wrote Good Calories Bad Calories... he jsut came out with a book called "Why we get FAT" and what to do about it.... I wanted to get your thoughts on this diet... great to see you agin.... 15 lbs down 185lbs to go... thanks Dan "SLIMQUEST"
I'm still here, Dustin. I switched to sureshotevolver but I'm back to atticus05 now. Only switched for motivation and it didn't work. So I am getting back into it. Plan on doing more blogging than video logging but we'll see how it goes. I have a goal...New Years Eve.
I have dropped weight several times in my life. You are a great motivator! In the face of adversity, you still need to stay positive and optimistic. I'm 6'0' at 311. It once took me three years to lose 132 pounds (from 332), my goal was to reenlist into the military and I was 32. In november of that year (1997) I stepped off the bus at boot camp. Although a previous injury sent me home, it was worth it to be in uniform for thirty days.
I'm now 46, in the middle of a masters degree and want to lose it before graduation. The weather has broken and the fridge is empty, so I hope I can get back into the fight. As for slipping, it's the enemy. That's why you are fighting in the first place.
@katana2665 Wow it must take some balls at 32. Wondering did you need a waiver or did the age limit go up? Anyway sucks that you got sent home but good work getting there in the first place.
@MorallyReprehensible Thanks. I didn't need a waiver for age, because i already had four years from the Navy, which gets subtracted from your biological age. As it was in 2006, I tried to get into shape again to go to the Army, which by that time had increased the age limit. Unfortunately, while I did lose some 70 pounds that year, I couldnt quite get the last 15-20 and soon life interrupted and the weight came back. This morning I weighed 313. I'm really pissed at myself for getting this way.
@katana2665 Here I am at 46, now and I have to do it all over again. It will always be a constant concern. The best thing is that when those slips come, not to let life become the ruler of your new world. It's your life...should you ever doubt, just look at how far you have come. Good luck to you.
Hi! Thanks for the quick update. I am glad you're having a great week. Keep up doing the great work. OMG! That is a crapload of sweat. Whew Doggy! Geezus. Killin' it, my friend!
Dustin, I'm super proud of you! I know you don't know me but I've been with you since you started your journey. Followed your live journal everything. You helped me go from 300lbs to my lowest 201... just being you and helping me realize I could do it. Being back up to 231 myself Ty for starting again! I'm going to finish this myself. I'm even though to start videos I think =) <3!
I KNOW you will do your goals. I know. I been there. I know what you do. I know what you can do. I KNOW. (Hugs to DUSTIN) :-)
