Thanks for joining in, I thought this was a fun one. I am impressed 240lbs in 15 months. I lost 40 in about a year and I just lost another 25 in 2 months. But 240 ROCKS!!
Very cool stuff man! What amazed me is I have NEVER heard of the Duodenal Switch before. I just had Gastric Bypass surgery 3 months ago(75+ lbs down, woot!), and I researched the hell out of it. Apparently I didn’t research as much as I thought.. lol.. Not sure if I would have gone a different way or not, but it would have been nice to have known so I could have factored that into my decision… Thanks for sharing man, I relate with A TON of what you had to say in that post..
Wow man… you should read at least one hardcopy book from cover to cover.
Thanks for playing!
this shit’s gonna turn viral soon.
you’ve unleashed hell, andy!
i gained 30lbs in 3 months. does that count?
wow shoe, I’m shocked to hear you’re from the QCA! I’m originally from a podunk town 15 miles outside of Moline, called Sherrard. Cheers!
ya see its not really a choice… I just cant hold concentration that long.
240 pounds in 14 months! That is absolutely awesome Shoe! You should be proud of yourself! I actually just lost 30 pounds in 2 months primarily through exercise, stress(not a good thing), and diet, so I am pretty proud with myself about that. I feel so much better losing those extra pounds and I’m in better physical shape than I have been in since I was in my teens(I’m 33 years old now – my hair is thinning to prove it!). That is also really interesting that you have never read a book cover to cover. I used to read a lot of fiction cover to cover, but generally with non-fiction I just read bits and pieces of it as well. Anyways, thanks for sharing this info about yourself. Have a great weekend Shoe!:-)
I have the same problem Shoe with concentration! I have never been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, but I am sure that I have it, because I have been like that all my life, jumping from one thing to another. The only time I seem to be able to concentrate is when I am absolutely exhausted or have exercised extensively. I have been diagnosed with depression, since my early twenties, and I know that plays a great part in my conentration, but even when I am feeling good I can’t seem to concentrate! So glad I’m not the only one with this problem. You are a real inspiration to me Shoe. All the best. Chris H.
why were you fired?
cause I sucked =( Seriously they were right to can me. I have never been able to work for another person.
mo-town!
ya same… Ive never been diagnosed but I dont really need a diagnosis
Upon reflection I’m sure you are glad you were fired
I dunno I envy people that are able to work 30 years at a company. I really mean that. I think the grass is always greener ya know?
I am a personal; trainer and thats quite an awsome feet tell me how you did it.
Yeah believe me I do..recently left a firm were I had no boss pretty much, all in search of the dream man. But I’m relentless in my quest for greatness as are you my friend.
Shoemoney, you’ve got quite the descendants building up, check out the The Blog Tag Tree I created to show everyone’s “lineage”. Very fun!
That’s funny – I used to work at John Deere in Moline. I lived in Bettendorf. Revealed was my ISP. Maybe I talked to you on the phone!
Pat its very possible. Especially if it was late at night. I worked the 3pm to 11pm shift
Shoemoney, how did you learn all you know if you can’t hold concentration? Hehe, great job on the weight loss!
Congrats on the keeping the weight off! Being a lifelong fitness professional, I commend you and hope you stick with it. Lifestyle choices will make or break it! Hang in there!
You must have a strong memory to remember things you did when you were 12. I can’t remember things that happend last week
Marvelous posting.
