N has been preoccupied with his new little cannoli, Abby, unfortunately, has had to deal with family issues, Tal will probably lose his weight in blood. So that leaves K, FW and me. So how is it going team?

I'm not going to brag but I've been on board, of course I have a strong incentive (each 1 lb of weight lost equals 4-6 lbs of pressure relieved on my hip) and so far, I'm pleased with the results. How is everyone else doing?
I used to weigh around 135 lbs and am 6' 1". Now it is about 205 and sometimes 6' 1" often shorter depending on my posture. I could lose about 35 lbs. And not for NOTHING.

Took up weightlifting in the early 1980s in Reno, Nevada and had a friend who married a gym owner so went to that gym. She was a lot more muscular than I was at that time.

Then started walking everywhere up very steep hills in Belmont, CA and busing to night classes in Spanish at the College of San Mateo while working at Information Access Company as an indexer/abstractor. Did take the BART to San Francisco and south to Palo Alto though or the buses.
