    Yeah, it's a lot in a short period of time. Those are the kind of numbers folks lose after bariatric surgery. However, the initial loss is always bigger due to fluid retention reduction. Unfortunately, this isn't my first weight-loss rodeo over the years, so, I'm very adept at how my body reacts and responds to the process.

    All I can do is keep at it..

    Good deal. Keep up the good work.
    Have to say one of the best things is cutting out the sodas. Same for artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup.

    Saw my girlfriend graduate today. Was totally surprised by the emotional reaction I had to it. I know how hard shes worked to get where she's at now and the sacrifices she's had to make.

    Tonight she'll take her Hippocratic Oath in a separate ceremony and then the real celebrations will begin. Her family, who all inexplicably like me, is here and have a Brazilian steak dinner catered and waiting...can't go wrong with all the free steak you can eat.

    Like many others I’m not a driver, but an interested enthusiast.

    Btw - @Broke Down 69 I bet you could earn extra cash from resorts by planning on NOT going there. “Oh, hi four seasons I’d hate for something bad to happen, so I was thinking about going to your resort..oh? Really? You’ll pay for my vacation elsewhere?” “Thanks I’ll take it.”

    Dang, you could guarantee the Winter Olympics would have snow.

    At some point I’ll make a decision on a career change. This site and you guys are giving out intelligent real world advice. Thanks.

    Your emotion tells you you have a soulful connection to her. That's a good thing.

    Well my batteries are recharged. My pipes are cleaned and polished and my wallet's flat. All that together means it's time to go back to work.

    Waiting on my load info now but it's looking like I'm not going anywhere until tomorrow. No worries though, I need to clean the truck some and catch a nice long nap anyhow.

    More later...

    She spent the night with me in the truck. Just left for home. I'm still waiting on a load to get ready.
