Weight Loss for a Fat Guy: March Update

So here it is, mid-March. I mentioned in my previous post that I was undergoing monitoring for my fatty liver. In late February, I had to go to the vampires at Quest to have more fluids removed and tested. This month, right before I was due to go back, I receive a letter from the liver doc. It states that all levels are nominal. Continue weight loss. Get another blood draw in 2 months, and don't come back to see us for another 6 months. Wha?!?!?! Holy crap, some good news!

So, not only have I dropped over 95 pounds now (97 as of this morning), but my blood pressure has gone down and my liver is back to functioning normally. Wow, this is something to this weight loss. However, I'm having a serious problem which will lead to financial difficulty. I have to go get a new wardrobe soon, and I may not need to go shopping at the Fat Ass specialty store either.


BTW. When I hit the 100 pound mark, I'm going off the wagon for one night only. Wanna come with? :P

Assault with a deadly....breast...

From The Smoking Gun:
A Kentucky woman is facing a felony assault charge for allegedly squirting breast milk into the face of a female jailer. After Toni Tramel, 31, was arrested last Thursday for public intoxication, she was transported to the Daviess County Detention Center in Owensboro. While there, Tramel, pictured in the above mug shot, was directed to change into a jail uniform. But the uncooperative suspect was "too intoxicated to complete the task on her own," so Officer Lula Brown sought to aid her, according to the below incident report. While in the jail's shower room, Brown told Tramel that she "needed to take her shirt and bra off" before changing into a green jail smock. That is when Tramel "took off her bra, grabbed her breast and squirted breast milk, hitting me in the face and neck region," reported Brown. Tramel attempted a second lactation assault, "but was unsuccessful," added Brown. Tramel is now being held in the Daviess County lockup on $5000 bond. As for Brown, a jail press release noted that the officer was successfully able to "clean the bio-hazard off her."
