All sorts of NSVs - I can't believe how - normal (?) - I'm starting to become. I walk up the stairs with my coworkers without getting out of breath.  My stomach no longer enters a room one second ...

Sacramento area support group this Saturday, 12/2 - We all probably need to exercise more, whether it's walking, hitting the gym, or actually starting that 5K training we dreamed about 100 pounds ago. I'm sure we'll all vow to st...

Losing weight and becoming a different gay stereot - So, while there's many terrific things about our gay culture, a potentially bad one is that it's so intent on images, perceived beauty, and sterotyping/pigeon-holing.  For inst...

Big beer bellies and belts versus suspenders - So I used to be quite big (BMI 40-43) and now are getting close to goal (BMI of 27-28).  Like a lot of guys, I carried a lot of weight on my belly/waist, but I was _really_ good at...

Need underwear/comfort advice - Okay, a bit embarassing, to ask about underwear help as a grown man.... When I was a "big guy" (BMI 40-43), I'd throw on any kind of underwear and it didn't matter.  It all was ...

NSV - typical clothing size story, blah blah blah - So I got up early to take advantage of BLACK FRIDAY like a good American consumer drone is supposed to.  Like many of you, I'm in need of clothing that doesn't appear tent-like on ...

Dense, white fish feels like a brick in my stoamch - Alright... I've had very little issues.  I can digest anything... even things I'm not supposed to (ahem). Protein sources - beef, chicken, turkey, soy, all fine. Fish - S...

I don't believe it... - Do you all have those moments where you don't believe something for a split-second, because it's so different than the last 10 or 20 years of your life? On Friday, I looked into...

Annoucing new Sacramento-area support group! - Hi everyone! Well, I stepped up and took over a meetup group that was just about to expire due to inactivity.  I was sad to see it about to go - I really enjoyed meeting other p...

Crossed the 200-pound threshold - Hi guys - For the first time in my adult life, I weigh under 200 pounds!  I remember being 200 when I got my driver's license at age 16... and I remember being 310 pounds a ...

Want to train for a 5K - Hi folks - Like many others, with this weight removed, I want to attempt things I've never tried before, like rock climbing or a 5K race.  Anyone know of a good place that lists...
