That popular demand thing. I'll post a updated pictures on
my 2 year anniversary so we'll be even :-)

It will be interesting to see what I look like in my next
pictures. I've continued to hit the gym and weights
regularly to, hopefully, add back some muscle mass and
strength that I lost on the way down. I can vouch for the
strength, but I'm not so sure about muscle yet...we'll see.
I've been bulking for the last 6 weeks (intentionally to
cover the exercise activity) and will continue through the
end of July. I plan on spending August cutting to see what
I look like when I work back down to 177 or so (I'm actually
closer to 187 right now...but I am still wearing 32" pants)
then I'll focus again on doing nothing but staying within my
long term target range of 180-185.

Honestly, I'm just having fun with this right now. Call it
a necessary distraction from work as I'm back to working 80+
hour weeks again on a couple challenging, and less than
fully staffed, projects. Life is different however, 3 years
ago I would have spent that 80+ hours sitting at my desk
eating donuts, cupcakes, pizza, or whatever. Now I eat
normal meals and drink my water and end at least every other
day with a trip to gym. I promised myself somewhere along
the way that I would see my abs at least once more in my
life so I'm working to that...wish me luck. Actually, I
don't think that luck has anything to do with it. Wish me
success instead please.

Thank you, Kris!

I don't know if you realize it, but I did not post to the weight loss
forum where you saw my message. The alt.support.diet.low-carb USENET
newsgroup is where I hang out, and the newsgroup has suddenly been
hijacked by http://www.weight-loss-guide.net/forum/ and
weightadviser.com (part of the same which are deceptively making it
APPEAR as if we are posting to the web forums when that is simply not
the case. They are, in essence, hijacking our posts. You are probably
posting in that forum and your posts are appearing in
alt.support.diet.low-carb as well, even though you probably only
intended for them to be posted to the web forum. I'm telling you this
so that a) you'll know what's going on, and b) to prepare you for
possibly meeting some hostility, since we have had a sudden influx of
posts from strangers in the last day or so, ALL of whom tend to have
similar fake email addresses since they all originate via the weight
loss forum.

I had previously looked up weight-loss-guide.net in the WHOIS database
and posted info about the domain owner this morning. The
weightadviser.com forum is registered to:

SharpPower
Shevchenko 2
Lesnoi, Sverdlovskaja 624201
Russian Federation

This is getting curiouser and curiouser. The administrative and
technical contact for the domain is an email account at advenet.com,
which is restricted, but it sure sounds like it might have something to
do with marketing/advertising.

That said, I welcome you to come over to alt.support.diet.low-carb (aka
ASDLC) and join the discussions HERE instead. It may be considered
anarchy compared to the web forum, but at least we are honest about
where we post, there are no ads (other than the occasional spam) and NO
ONE owns or controls it.

Yes, you're WAY overdue for new ones -- I'm only 8 lbs less than I was
in my last ones posted ;-)

I wish you every success -- every time I see your progress photos
(http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jjsmythe/my_photos) I'm just awed at
the difference in your appearance from 2003 to 2004! You're clearly in
it for the long haul and I applaud your perseverance (not to mention
those sexy muscles ;-)

Doesn't 8 pounds for you something like 6% of your body
weight dropped since you last posted pictures? I don't
think that "only" describes that progress :-)

My youngest daughter broke her leg and has been in a fairly
heavy cast since early in the summer so this has limited our
family options for outdoor summer activities, at least those
involving water and/or a lot of walking. So no,
unfortunately, there has been no water park this year; or
hikes in mountain parks for that matter. At least not yet.
She gets her cast off in a couple weeks so we still may be
able to get a trip in this summer.

Congrats on the 70 pounds gone! I recently passed 80, but it took me
much longer to get there than it took you. Good work!
