Hey Steve, did I meet you at Valley Forge at the poolroom where I played in the Open tournament?catscradle said:Here's a solo pic of me, but I like the family one better (though my wife would kill me if she knew I put it on here).
Hmmmm, obviously I that's not how you insert jpgs, you'll have to click on the attachements.
I weighed 184 when I joined, and left at 155. I couldn't get above 160 for the next three years, as I was always in the field, doing PT, or deployed. I think the lowest I ever weight was 150 and that was coming back from Kuwait. I have a picture of me from over there, and I look anorexic!Perk said:Me too..I was 220 going in, 179 out of bootcamp...by the time I got out 4 years later I was carrying 205....Add 7 years, a wife and kids, a desk job, strong love of pasta, and you have the 60 pounds or so more than when I got out.....
Everyone loses so much in bootcamp, but usually they gain it back quite fast. This one guy dropped 53 pounds (most in our platoon) during bootcamp, and after an extended leave (xmas holiday) returned to SOI already gained over half back. It was 15 days....

If you were going to be a minimum of 30 lbs over weight we might wait... as it is... 15 lbs MAX doesn't count...landshark77 said:Could we conclude it in the new year? I need to spit this life growing inside me out first...I'll use my weight from about Dec 1st. I'll re-wiegh say Jan 20th??? I think that is fair.![]()

Maybe a couple of others will throw in too
Here's a recent pic of my son, myself and one Hell of a great guy, Mike Masse.

Since I'm 52, my compliments to the air brush artist! And yes, that's my real hair color. Everyone asks.

MaryD said:I'm with you - I've got before & after pics in my purse, on my mirror at home, and in my cube at work. My after pic is real skinny - I may lose a few pounds from now (my avatar is current) but I won't go as low as the after pic again. (I had something to prove at the time!) The pics keep me motivated to stay where I am & not go up again.
If I had three wishes, you can bet one of them would be for a fast metabolism! LOL

Matt_24 said:I joined the Air Force at 134lbs (I'm 5, 8'). I actually put on weight in basic training (Feb-1998) from eating 3 meals a day ...
See, I would've forgotten had I not seen your pic! Of course, by the time you met me, I was out! I know the guy you're talking about, well, I don't know him but I remember seeing him.catscradle said:Yes, you did. By the open tournament I assume you mean the one that was down in a semi-basement poolroom with exposed pipes overhead, "no bar, no bowling, no pinball, just pool".
It was the tournament where this totally awesome road player from the southwest or Texas was playing. He was originally from some middle-east country, I forget which one, maybe Lebanon.
