So sad... I can gain 10 pounds in a day without breaking a sweat. If we could just trade appetites for a month, we'd both be 50 pounds in the right direction!

Only two pounds since last weigh in, but I'm actually not upset with that at all... had one of my best friends in town last weekend and ate and drank way too much and put on some weight, so I'm glad I was able to get back on track and lose what I gained.

4 months on the diet, averaging about 14 pounds a month. I'll take it I guess

You may want to start the Wanderlei Silva diet. He lost 12 lbs the day before his fight.

Good job Davey. Keep focus.

Nice two week span for me, hitting another milestone at 60 pounds! I thought it would be easier as time went on, but its actually getting harder... I'm definitely hungry and miss the good ol' days of eating garbage sometimes. But alas, have to stay strong. Am still very proud of my progress to this point.

[PAPSMEAR]

lookin good in your avatar VD

[MexicanStallion]

Keep up the good work Dave. It is definitely harder losing weight as time goes on. The first few weeks should have been easier. Just continue to stick with your diet and you should reach your goal in no time though. Best of luck and continue to update on your progress.

[Chi_archie]

wow 135 days.... great committment Dave!!!

[lakerboy]

good job dave keep going cause eventually you could get diabetes and have no choice but to change so you might as well carry on - best of luck

[MrMonkey]

Nice discipline there Dave! Whatever you're doing is working, but stay patient cause you know the rest of it won't come off as fast! Nicky's post was the best advice IMO you could be given!

[VegasDave]

Thanks for all the support guys! Still a long way to go!

Four more pounds... can't believe this pace is still continuing. I have to hit an enormous wall eventually.

13 lbs a month has been much better than anything I would have expected! Hopefully I can keep it up! 5 lbs a month for the next 7 months certainly sounds easy in comparison, but like I said, I'm bound to hit a wall sooner or later...

Thanks for all the support

Dare I ask what a Richkas sandwich is?

[reno cool]

do you get that loose skin? I apologize if this has already been asked?

[BadNina]

YAY for you Dave!!!

[tacomax]

do you get that loose skin?

Why? I'm Dave's agent. You want to put in a bid for it?



(good job Dave, though)

[ijustwant2bpaid]

nice work dave, congrats on your accomplishments so far... keep up the good work!!!

[VegasDave]

Thanks again for all of the support everyone

do you get that loose skin? I apologize if this has already been asked?

Fortunately I've been able to avoid it to this point (knock on wood), that was actually a concern of mine after I read some horror stories about some people with it. But like one article I was reading said, "don't use maybe getting loose skin as an excuse to not get healthy".

I think the fact that I'm only 23 helps alot... the younger you are the easier it is for your skin to adjust, if I'm not mistaken. Still have a long way to go though, would certainly suck, but I'll worry about that bridge if I ever have to cross it.

100 lbs holy shit

[BJE]

Keep up the good work Dave.

^^^can you get surgery to get rid of loose skin? i have been losing weight also ever since i stopped gambling

You can, but like any surgery, even simple procedures like removal of loose skin carry risks, and they are expensive and insurance won't help you pay for it, either.

There are apparently stretches and what not you are able to do that sometimes help. But again, I'm just hoping I won't have to worry about it and my skin keeps shrinking with me

[pico]

does botox shrink your skin?

[oiler]

Going to make a very real attempt at this.

Was going to start in March, but sick of making excuses. Lets get this done. Bring on the support and criticism.

Also, if you have some sort of personal goal you want to reach as well, and you want to make it public, feel free to use this thread as well.

Going to copy and paste this format with updates once a month or so.

More important than the number is just eating healthy and looking and feeling better. Even if I don't hit 100, if I'm actively trying I'll be happy.

Here goes nothing

ANOTHER five pounds! Has been a pretty incredible run... my next update on the 15th will mark the halfway point of 6 months.

I just hope I don't gain it all back at the bash .

Thanks again for all of the well-wishes and support you guys have given, means a lot to me
