Venturous Randy Posted February 20, 2010 #1 Posted February 20, 2010 I posted earlier about my lifestyle change and was asked for a picture, so I will post a couple. I really do appreciate all the encouragement I am getting from you guys and I still have a ways to go. I will also see if I can find one from earlier. The one from Asheville is me on the left with me keeping the picture balanced. I was actually not at my peak weight in that picture. RandyA
FreezyRider Posted February 20, 2010 #2 Posted February 20, 2010 Way to go, Randy!! I too have changed my lifestyle. For the past year, I've been on the only diet that will work longterm for ME. I've tried about everything else and the weight always comes back. For me, I've come to the realization that the only thing that will work is the one diet that everyone hates......eat sensibly, and EXERCISE. I joined a fitness center a year ago, and have lost 40 pounds, gained strength and stamina, feel so much better. Some mornings I hate getting up and going, but know that I really have no choice. My desire to be healthier is stronger than my aversion to exercise. It actually gets to be fun! Keep at it, and enjoy life! Joe
DragonRider Posted February 20, 2010 #5 Posted February 20, 2010 Looking pretty good there Randy, keep it up, I guess I need to get back on my regime.............
Eck Posted February 20, 2010 #6 Posted February 20, 2010 Proud of ya Randy. So are you loosing all that weight so your 1st gen can keep up with the 2nd gens?
PEIslander Posted February 20, 2010 #9 Posted February 20, 2010 Looks good on ya Randya!!! I need to do the same, running about 265 now and just can't seem to find time to exersize but seem to find all kinds of time to EAT. Anyway keep it up or off, I guess.
friesman Posted February 20, 2010 #10 Posted February 20, 2010 Way to go Randy!!! keep up the changes, they are working great for you. Brian
mini-muffin Posted February 20, 2010 #11 Posted February 20, 2010 Looking good Randy. Might have to get some rocks in your pockets to keep you from blowing away in any big winds now. Margaret
jimbucks Posted February 20, 2010 #13 Posted February 20, 2010 The weight loss looks great on you and I'm one that has strugled with it my entire 58 yrs but I'm not real sure about the lavender bike though.
cecdoo Posted February 20, 2010 #14 Posted February 20, 2010 Way to go Randy, you have inspired me to start on Monday:bowdown: and I love that purple bike and flames:thumbsup: Good luck buddy. Craig
BIG TOM Posted February 20, 2010 #15 Posted February 20, 2010 Great job Randy...looking good.....does that mean you are on the no DQ diet?
Dano Posted February 20, 2010 #17 Posted February 20, 2010 Way to go Randy, you keep after it. I look forward to the day when we can meet face to face and I can look that beautiful bike over! Dan

Venturous Randy Posted February 20, 2010 Author #19 Posted February 20, 2010 The weight loss looks great on you and I'm one that has strugled with it my entire 58 yrs but I'm not real sure about the lavender bike though. It ain't lavender, it's Twilight Royal Pearl and the good thing is, I like it, and a few other's seem to like it too. But, you might like the pink flames on it. I can also say that my life after the military has been with me carrying a lot more weight than I should have and with dealing with diabetes due to it, is was time to take it serious in a lifestyle change. Thanks everyone for the encouragement and I really do want to encourage others to take a look at what has really made them gain weight, and there can be many reasons. RandyA
Snaggletooth Posted February 20, 2010 #20 Posted February 20, 2010 Congrats there Randy. You're doing good. Take it from a guy that was topping out at 398 lbs 6 years ago, it's an every day challenge. I'm at 285 now and hoping to get to 250 one of these days. Going from ripping the button off of a pair of 58" waist pants to sliding into an old pair of 38" jeans is pretty satisfiying. I got a pair of 34"s on standby..........I'll get there. Hang in there. Mike
elmicko Posted February 20, 2010 #21 Posted February 20, 2010 Excellent job buddy!! Keep up the good work. So far I'm at 29 pounds gone, so I know how hard it is. Keep at it, looks like you've found something that works for you.
Big Daddy Posted February 21, 2010 #22 Posted February 21, 2010 Lookin Good Randy! Congratulations! Wish I could pull that off! Glad to see you back posting. BTW Do you still have a stash of quicksilver around? PM me if you do.
Thom Posted February 21, 2010 #23 Posted February 21, 2010 Darn Randy ! lookin good , if it was not for the bike i would not know who you are ! keep it up ! :clap2:
