MOG

You rock, Dale. We want to see even less of you in the future (geddit?!).

Weigh to go! sorry, but I do think you've done a tremendous thing. What's most impressive is how you didn't lose enthusiasm for it - you continued to lose even more pounds at the end of the 12 weeks than you did at the beginning.

On Jan. 1 you said:

That’s my biggest obstacle with losing weight: I REALLY like eating. I’m not 
 sure how that will change, unless this process, which is to last 12 weeks, is 
designed to make me despise food.

Look how far you've come! Healthy habits, clothes that hang on you and I think you really dig this fresh food menu. Clap for Dale! { }

Woohoo, mega-congrats!!

It's never too late to switch to hip hop. Big shirts, big pants and big attitude.

I am very impressed.

"Over the past twelve weeks, I’ve developed better eating habits and exercise habits, and I intend to hold onto those habits for a very long time."

keeping up the good habits is the key.

if that smiths shirt is the only thing you have to wear, then atleast you will look cool while your wearing dirty clothes.

w00t! Hooray for Dale!

Excellent song choice too, btw : )

WOW Dale that is so very exciting for you! 62 lbs. is a small child, so I guess you could say your family has gotten smaller, lol! Congratulations & keep up the good work! You're lookin' maaahvelous!!

That's great, Dale. So pleased for you. Keep up the good work.

A most excellent achievement, D. Bravo!

Big congrats from Minnesota, I remember the feeling when I lost 40 pounds nothing beats it.

Way to go Dale! Bet you feel more energetic now as well. A little exercise can really get the oxygen flowing. Can't wait to start riding my outdoor bike that really takes me somewhere instead of all that pedaling at the gym... :-)))

Dale, as someone who has also lost a lot of weight and made major lifestyle changes, I want to sincerely congratulate you and encourage you to keep on going. Keep looking for ways to exercise and eat right, keep moving your body and you are going to be fabulous. You will feel better all the time, I promise. Being in better shape improves your sex life, your mood, your relationships, your outlook on life, your career, everything, because you feel GOOD not bad. Stay positive and remember this day when bad days come back and you're tempted to eat an entire pizza and say "fuck it," because you will; but if you remember your triumphs I promise you, you will put that pizza right back down.

Much love and good thoughts!

way to go, no small feat! How does Melissa like the "new you"? me-OW!!!

Inspiring! I have been putting off losing about 15 pounds, what a wussie. At least I'm finally getting down to the business of my new years resolution - 3 months later!

congrats....

Lol@Michelle's choice of vid/song! Perfect, too funny. Great pairing of The Staple Singers & The Band though, wow, give that song a whole new life!

Good job Dale; I've always been underweight, not a common complaint but it seems to fit me. Congrats for helping to fight what seems like an epidemic :)

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!

62 pounds. That is a massive, massive achievement. How amazing. You should be very proud of yourself.

Don't get complacent :) Keep going. Next stop - six pack.

Thanks, everyone. When I was thinking out this post, I was going to name those people that I though had really provided me support when I needed it, but that would have been a LOOOOOOOOONG post. To anyone that read this: It is the love and support of MOGgers, combined with the love and support of my family, that has brought me to where I am now, and will hopefully help me continue to my final destination, wherever that may be. I love you all, so so much. Words are failing me.

Great job, and somehow you're still juggling all that life with mog, i'm so so impressed! you've inspired me.

Super congratulations to you Dale!!!

well done sir... impressive indeed...

Nice one!.....Go on, you can lose another 60 ;)

Sad thing is, Neill, I probably could. :(

Well done Dale,

Now you're all buff is 50 Cents career in any danger ?

hahahahahahahaha No, I've no bullet scars. Oh well.

Congrats! I'm too scared/lazy to do try losing weight. Also, I love food too much.

Heh, you sound like me twelve weeks ago. Here's something to think about, Peg: The best bite of any food is the first, so what's the point of eating a bunch of the same thing? Variety and small portions allow me to still love food, and lose weight at the same time.

Snacking is so much of an unconscious thing for me. Thanks for the advice though... if I can try keeping it in mind, then maybe I'll be a bigger loser than you ;)

that's BLEEPIN awesome!!!

Thanks kat!
