5 month check-in (a few days late and new photos posted in Ken Story)

[Guest guest]

Well its that time again, 5 months have gone by in what seems like a

blink-of-eye. October was a tuff month for weightloss. My wife

tends to get distant as we get closer to the holidays (she doesn't

like them much)and I hate being, how do I say this correctly,

Ignored! especially as I fell better and better physically I tend to

get a little " frisky " now and then. Throw her indiference along

with Halloween Candy into the mix and you end up with only 5 pounds

lost in a month. It is very frustrating to loose so little;

however, with lifting weights regularly I have experienced many

NSV's and those help a lot, but we are all very attune to the good-

ole-scale. I am going to work hard this month because I want to be

down at leat 80 pounds by my six month band-iversary which is on

December 9th and I so want to be at or below 275 by New Years. I

have posted new monthly photos, I take them regularly in hopes that

I can help a few people make the choice to have this surgery. I

know I like to look and other peoples success photos/stories;

however I don't see nearly enouph pictures of everyone as we

progress through this part of our lives. I just hope I can inspire

a few people, and as I said when I joined this group and had this

surgery I wanted to try and be a regular guy presents on this site.

Continued to success to all and thoughs newbies; stick with it, work

it consistently, and the result's WILL follow, percivere through the

hard days and in the end you will succede.
