Paul

Update for 2024, nothing really changed much in 2023 I bottomed my weight out at 228, then put on some weight as I trained for a half marathon.

Half Marathon was completed on Oct 1, 2023 in 3:27:12, not the fastest time ever, but hey I finished it.

2024 is going to see my work on a 20 mile hike called the Mammoth March in May, and then in October or December I plan on completing a full marathon...

Anyone else big into running?

Update July 2023:   Been down as low as 226 over the last 11 months, but after I picked up running as a hobby I've added a few pounds back.  Currently around 240 and training for my first half marathon in October.  Will I be able to run the whole thing?  I dunno doubtful, but completing it is the goal!

Anyone else here into running? 

Thought I'd post an update in case anyone cares

August 3 down to 247 so down 225 pounds in just over a year and a week.

Now the goal is to see how low I can go LOL...  Ideally I'll get to 199 and then stop losing weight.

Anyone in here had weight loss surgery or done any extreme weight loss?

Paul's spent the last 10 months losing weight like a mad mo**er f***er.. so I thought I'd see if anyone else here has ever gone thru anything similar.

Started July 26, 2021  at 472 Pounds.

Had Gastric Sleeve surgery Feb 28, 2022 at 370 pounds as I could not continue losing weight on my own.

Current status April 13 2022, 302 pounds.

Update:  August 3 2022, 247 pounds.

Also note, YES these are the same glasses, the angle in the photo on the left made them look smaller well that and my fat ass head.

This wasn't directed at me but I can answer anyway as I talked to him last weekend. He kind of checked out before the end of NA as he got tired of the drama (advice maybe I should consider). He's doing really well though, focusing on his health, dropping a bunch of weight. He seems more like the happy dude he was when I first got to know him.

Yep, I'm still around and doing well.  Life gets busy and video games have to take a back seat to life at times.

I miss the people, lots of you here, but I've been limiting sources of frustration an conflict from my life in an attempt to get healthier mentally, physically and emotionally.... 

I won't get into alot of details, as this isn't the place, but to those who asked.  I'm around and kicking..  .  Diet, Exercise, and well being are my life at the moment.. 

If anyone ever needs to reach me, message me here, I'll get the message and respond asap.

Well, change is inevitable, but I'd argue VGS is less of a drastic change from the cancerous abomination that is the NintendoAge GoCollect forums.

I can't argue with that...

Hello, I'm Paul from Tennessee.  Like I don't really collect video games but  I decided to pop in and say Hello VGS

Kinda doubt you'll ever see Paul post anything; not even sure why he signed up honestly.

But why do you say that Dave?
