I have lost 60lbs since August. That's when I lost my job. Kinda cool. I haven't been this small since high-school. I guess stress and worrying gives you the diarrhea and then the weight falls right off.


Whats next for me? I really don't know. I'd really like a career change but not sure what I'd even do.
Time will tell.

Stay healthy my friends!

Another thing. Doctors always told me if you lose weight you won't hurt.

Well I'm here to tell you thats a line of BS

Thank you Delta. Its nice to be able to call my friends fatasses now. Lol

Streetrod the chevelle is a running driving car now. Without employment its hard to play with her because gas is $10 a gallon for 110 octane.
I'm playing with a completely junk 81 GMC shorted. It belonged to a trucking company here in Phoenix that is 100 years old this year. I'd like to get it running and driving this year.

Wish I could send a few pounds. I weighed as low as 158 after my first divorce- gained 100 pounds in the next 10 years at my heaviest. Best weight is around 195.

especially when I heard someone say one of the signs of being infected is the loss of the sense of taste and smell...I am constantly making sure that sense continues to function...

Not to jump in, but I believe the L79 was a hydraulic lift motor with 350 HP and later 325 HP.
The L76 with 365 HP & L84 with 375 HP were solid lift motors.

Frank is correct the L79 is 350HP. Couple of other options on mine are factory knock off wheels and side pipes. Love that sound!

Ron I'm definitely looking into changing careers but it looks like nirse Dawn days she likes me on MMJ so I'm really not sure what I'm going to do.

I do have some junk cars to work on. Maybe set the garage up like it needs to be.

So...

A bunch of "lighter weight millionaires" on this thread?

"I lost 100 pounds and multiple $50K cars are coming and
going ...."

I have two cars both over 15 yrs old and both over
160,000 miles...and I'm at 215-219lbs ,
depending on the day...

Hope you find a good job coop!

Well Mr Jones. You are correct in one way and wrong in so many ways.

You see you can't discriminate me for taking a medicine. Walmart lost that battle here in Arizona but we are a right to work state also.

Listen i really don't have to work. A little side gig and I'd be happy.

That's awesome Cooper! My weight loss goal is 85 lbs. When I met my wife in January of 2014, I weighed 260, which I was comfortable with at 6'3". I was at 334 in January of this year. When the pandemic went full force in March, I decided that enough was enough. I've lost 20 lbs since March through diet, exercise and lots of will power. Still have 65 lbs to go, but with what I'm doing, it's something I can sustain long term.
