Well, I maxed at 270 lbs. around New Years, based on my home scale and an early morning weigh in.  This morning, 258.5! 

However, the "official" weigh in at work for a friendly "biggest loser" competion, Tuesdays at noon, has me at 264.8 two weeks running.  I guess its just too early to tell, but I seem to have cut about 7000 calories a week in food intake and added exercise, so there's that... to be continued.
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

That's great! Keep it up. I bet you are starting to already have more energy!

Woot! Way to go, dude!
:thumbsup:

My resolution was to eat more local, organic food. So far, so good (minus my recent trip to Gatlinburg where I ate all the candy within city limits).

For sure keep it up and good luck!  Will Kyle give you a poster if you weigh less than him?

I'm pretty sure that in Gatlinburg candy is considered local and organic so you're still good.

I bought some moonshine, too. It was apple-pie flavored.

I am sitting at my desk eating lunch and this made me LOL  :thumbsup:  thanks!

I am blessed with skinny genes, but I am woefully out of shape.   I think it's fair to say that for the past, say, 10-12 years, I've ended each year in worse shape than when I began it.   My new year's resolution is to change that.   So I'm trying to exercise 3x a week and so far so good but I realize this is only week 3!

Good for you!  I assume that, if I were to weigh less than you, you'd be keeping that poster as I'd be 6 feet under.  My goal is 220.  But the energy is getting better, as is all that goes with it.  ;)

Ok, Meg, moonshine is just nasty. Although apple-pie flavored may be much better than the corn cob flavored that I have had from my local bootlegger.

Apple Pie is friggin awesome.  I was at a motorcycle rally / party in Iowa last summer and my brothers girlfriend won a jug of it playing the wiener biting contest ( not what you think, go to the kink thread for that  ). The contest consists of  women riding on the back of a motorcycle and has to bite a hot dog dangling from a string with her hands behind her back.   Anyway, my buddy got so plowed from the apple pie he passed out on his feet and fell over like a tree falling. Thank god he didn't hurt himself.
