"Fat fat, we're gonna get fat fat"



The subject line was from an old Cosby routine.

Unfortunately, I, Jonesy, should say, instead of "we're gonna get fat fat", I should say "we done got fat fat". Yep, spread has caught me. This time of year I don't do much but feed horses and feed myself. So I spread out. I got on the scale a couple of weeks ago and it said 174 pounds, the heaviest I've ever been, 16 pounds overweight. I'm only 5' 8". Good pot gut growing there. Colleen said when she was shopping for a cowboy husband that one criteria was she had to be able to see his belt buckle. I'm in danger of getting sent back out on the range. I usually weigh between 155 and 160. I've always prided myself on being in shape and I've joked that one of my goals is to weigh 200 pounds--just joking, of course. But now that the fat-goal is not so far-fetched I decided it is time for action. Every winter I gain, but this is ridiculous! I needed something that would help me get my "skinny-goal".

I started searching for something that would help me lose weight, other than just starving myself, which hasn't been very effective. Starve works for a few days and then I go on a Big Mac and ice cream and popcorn binge. You know the deal; you try this and that and nothing works, or it works for a little while and then you gain it back because you can't stand to be hungry all the time. I've done the up-and-down-weight thing every winter using several popular weight-loss programs and products which, I'm sure, you are very familiar with. I was mentioning my problem to my brother, Greer, so he could poke fun at me, but I knew he wouldn't really give me a hard time, as he has been fighting the spread, too. He said he had finally found the real thing and the testimonials of those it worked for was terrific, so he tried it and he has lost 15 pounds in a couple of months. He also has more energy, sleeps much better at night, and his asthma has practically disappeared for the last two months. His friend, Duane, who told him about it has lost 37 pounds and Duane's wife has lost 35 pounds in three months. So I went to the website of the testimonials and I certainly was impressed. The main thing I was impressed with is the rapid weight loss. I called and talked with Duane and became convinced this is the real thing. With the 100% money back guarantee I figured I couldn't lose, or as the company says, "All you have to lose is pounds". So here we go. Go here to see my posts on my skinny project.
