Kosh Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 At last after 4 years of planning, my Cobalt Pebble 32" has arrived in Scottsdale, AZ Her name is "Santorini" after the Island in Greece. It is much prettier, larger and heavier than I imagined but it got here! I have a bit of an up hill across gravel so my handyman suggested renting a crane. It was the right idea! I'm doing a burn in now and it really holds temp. I was worried about run away but if you sneak up on it and take notes, its pretty easy. Thanks to Dennis for his hard work! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed my BB32. I’m sure you are going to lover her. Looking forward to some cook pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a few years, you'll rent it again for getting back out of the pool... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to him, I've had my KKs for years and have only eaten better tasting food and not added any pounds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Contrary to @MacKenzie - we usually tell newbies to just go out and buy the bigger belt size now - you're going to need it sooner than you think! 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my many lessons that adults were idiots; belts are nothing but trouble. I'm on the same waist size for 30 years. But yes, some degree of moderation is called for, actually easier because the food is so good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wear a belt because suspenders are irritating and my pants will fall down otherwise. They used to be prone to falling due to my belly pushing them down but since I've lost 40 lbs, they fall down because they're too loose; I'm not buying new pants until I'm done with the weight loss program even though it's stalled lately. i solved the belt notch issue by getting a grip6 belt: https://grip6.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working out and getting fitter but haven't worked on reducing what goes in my mouth.

I am working out and getting fitter but haven't worked on reducing what goes in my mouth. I might have to settle for my rude but good friend's description of me - "you are the fittest fat person I know". Cheeky or what?? Two things that directly lead to my weight loss: I retired. When working, i had a long time between breakfast and lunch and was always very hungry at lunch so I ate too early and too much at lunch. I was then very hungry again at dinner and i are too much then as well as getting take-out too often. I'm sleeping later now which shortens the time between breakfast and lunch so I'm eating less at lunch so i have one "real" meal each day instead of two. I used Noom which helped me with portion control and better balance in my meals; it also helped with strategies for dealing with different circumstances that can lead to overeating. I have some pretty serious back and neck issues as well as severe sleep apnea; i hoped losing weight would help with bit of these but it hasn't. i do feel a bit better overall though and I'm moving better. I'm dreading having to refresh my wardrobe tho - really don't like shopping for clothes. I did make an amazing discovery - losing weight has improved my vision! I'm can now see body parts i hadn't seen in years! 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
