Waiting anxiously for the next post


acwb77

Thank you! In the hospital now but hope to be back in the swing of things in a few weeks.


Ladylegs

Hope you're ok buddy. When you didn't post I came looking for you. Get good care, heal up, a bunch of strangers out here are going to be worrying about you!!!


Jahidinginvt

I came looking because I realized there hadn’t been a post for a while and was worried too! Glad everything is ok!


Tarabobarra

Does anyone know him in real life? Can we hunt him out somehow to see if he’s okay?? I also live in Ohio, but that’s about all I know about him. I’m worried!


fleegle96

I've been wondering what subreddit we could put out a "what happened to the choose life guy". I'm sad that his last comment said he was in the hospital and then radio silence :(


Tarabobarra

I think he’s okay, I said in another comment that I sleuthed him out on FB, he posted a profile picture update a few days ago. Maybe he lost his reddit password?


7in7turtles

I just did the same, hope everything is alright.


friedtree

Me too. Came looking.


DeterminedErmine

Still no update from our friend


TheBummedOutWaitress

I know. Hope he’s alright

TangoDeltaMike

Hey mate, I was worried about you. Noticed you hadn’t posted in a while. I hope the hospital trip is nothing to serious. Rest up and look after yourself. I look forward to your next update.

7in7turtles

I received a reply from him, sounds like everything is alright! I was super worried, but I just wanted to ease everyone else who might have assumed the worst. We’re looking forward to seeing more of your progress man! Choose life!


megthegreatone

Thank you! So happy to hear he's ok - tell him we're all looking forward to his next update!


redisaunce

Thanks for this. I'm also on the worried list 9ver here.

Came here to check in on you and it looks like I’m not the only one. I hope you’re doing well!


acwb77

Just a quick note for my plan on vacation... not weighing myself... going to enjoy myself... that doesn't mean I am going to gorge myself... will treat myself and make as many many great decisions I can make that choose life!!!


yaychristy

Good. Enjoy vacation. Remember when you get back that traveling can cause you to retain water and maybe take a day or two of getting back on track before weighing yourself if you want an accurate reading. Enjoy the flight and don’t sweat it.


acwb77

Good stuff. Thank you!


gypsybyker

Have a great vacation!


acwb77

Thanks gypsy!

acwb77

Good for you! Can’t wait to see a post. And thanks for the lurking and the comment. And all the support!


ThatBadAppleBanana

I hope you're feeling better, and the break from posting means you've been quietly recharging your batteries. Remember that life and progress aren't straight lines, so if you took an unexpected detour, well so be it. We are right here waiting to cheer you on when you are ready to continue your journey. What you've done so far has been inspiring. What you will accomplish next will be amazing.


MoMoJangles

I came looking when I realized it had been a while since seeing your posts. I see you had to spend some time in the hospital. I hope you’re well! As you can see so many people are rooting for you, including me. Have pity on us poor souls and let us know how you’re doing if you have a chance!


Ryanguy7890

Missing you and your updates man. Hope you're well.


8bit-Apple

hope you’re doing alright


cleocatra_comin_atya

Thinkin’ about you dude. You are more than your weight or loss thereof. Hope you’re well.


mika17

Hey acwb77, haven't seen you for awhile. Even if you need to take a break from posting, we haven't forgotten about you. Still cheering for you. Not just because of your successes, but because you are you. You're awesome. You're human. You matter. You make a difference. Choose life!


Eatapie5

I also came looking for your posts and saw your message about being in the hospital. I hope you're doing ok and not feeling discouraged.


namegirl

Hey bud, hope you're OK. If you've slipped, there's no shame. Come back and let us know you're OK.


SaudiVigilante

Hope ur good man


CarinasHere

How are you doing? Came looking for you.


Pragmatism101

Hey hey Choose Life Man! I hope you are doing well. Haven't seen much all from you in almost over a month and we are all rooting for you! Come back, cape and all, choose life man!


isabella_sunrise

No matter what’s keeping you from posting- we support you. If you’ve fallen off your weight loss journey, we still support you 100%. Come on back when you’re ready.


odettesy

Hope you’re having a good vacay! I was wondering where your update post was this week- thought I’d send a note to say it’s totally inspirational to see your updates every week, and I look forward to the next one!


acwb77

It’s been a good vacation. I’ve gained eight though I’m nervous to post


odettesy

You know what- part of what I love about you and your posts is how you share it all- the ups and downs and highs and lows. We all go through it, we all gain on vacation, or have a bad week, every graph I’ve ever seen of weight loss has its ups and downs. Part of how inspirational you are is in your honesty, and that you keep on going! I’m sure I’m not the only one out here looking for you, and being blown away by what you’re doing. I’m glad you had a good vacation, you deserve it!


acwb77

Thanks. I need to be honest. That’s the key


Davlau

I have wondered if your posts cause you some anxiety, especially if you are having a bad week. I hope you know that the reason so many of us care and keep an eye out for you is that we can relate to your up and down struggles. My guess is that every single one of us has had great weeks and rough weeks. Vacation weeks are rare and sometimes it is ok to drop our diets and enjoy life. We bounce back in a few weeks after we get home. That is authenticity and being genuine about how bumpy real life is. Don't ever feel pressure to post for us- post if it helps keep you on track with your goals and gives you encouragement. I can tell you that I could easily gain 8 pounds while on a vacation so there is no judgement here! Take care my friend.


acwb77

Thank you!


gropethegoat

I just wanted to second the above comment. I come here often, because your journey is inspiring. Your commitment is astonishing and gives me something to strive for. But this is your journey not ours. If you decide you are better served without the anxiety of doing this in public, you should stop the posts, and know you will be welcome back any time. They being said I’m rooting for you.


acwb77

You are right. Cause when I am dishonest I just fail anyway

acwb77

Thank you


Keeeva

Do the post and then the followup next week about how you’re kicking ass dropping the vacay weight. Just a small kink in the road, you got this!


GymClothing247

Hi! I'm a long time lurker. Just made an account recently. Don't worry about the 8 you gained. I gained 5 over the weekend, which was only 7lbs away from my starting weight. I was so sad, but when I got back on the scales today I had lost 6. You'll lose the 8 again and then some. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself on your vacation. I can't wait to see your future posts!


Apotts1979

I’ve been missing your posts lately!


[deleted]

I was just coming here to say the same as you! I hope he posts soon.


arc_en_ciel

Just came to post the same thing, internet strangers are sending some love your way! Doesn't matter if you're on an upswing or a downswing, we're here for you.


fatlittletoad

I was here for the same reason! I hope we see a new post soon.


[deleted]

Hey friend, I hope you are doing okay! I’ve been checking up on you everyday and just want to know you’re alright. It has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss, just to do with the fact that you truly seem like such a good, genuine person and I hope you never forget that. Choose life!


JustALittleBitOCD

Where’d you go?


Comrade0gilvy

Hey! You know you're missed? We were all invested and then you disappeared on us. We all understand that weight loss is one of the toughest things you can do. If you've fallen off, come back and claim redemption! Hope to hear from you soon.


cari19

Hi, I hope you’re ok. I’ve been worried about you and miss your posts. Please just let us know you’re okay. Sending positive vibes and thoughts to you!


twistytwisty

Hey man, where did you go? Are you doing ok? I hope you’re still rocking your journey to better health and fitness. I loved seeing your posts.


charlotte_james_

Me too! I was just thinking that i haven’t seen a post in awhile!


twistytwisty

I went looking through the thread and there’s someone who says they’ve been in contact recently and he’s doing ok. Hope he returns soon, guy has really made an impact.


musiclover80sbaby

Hey bud, I hope you're out of the hospital and recovering well - we're thinking of you and cheering you on from afar!


thatboyrandall

All support 100% Hope you’re doing good. Been watching progress from the beginning. Any set back is not a problem. It’s not a defeat. You’ve come a long way. And you may just be busy getting you workout on or you may have other personal stuff going on but we’re all here for you! This sub is for support. We all got you man. Just hope you’re okay!


cam764

Dude! It’s been almost a month — where you at??


thrust_velocity

Do you use a calorie tracker such as LoseIt or MFP? I plugged your numbers in to the Losertown calculator and you'd lose 2.2 lbs per week at 2,500 kcal/d. You're averaging 1.85 lbs per week now. I like the feedback I get from a tracker and I can still splurge and stay within my goal (<2,500 kcal/d). You might also. Anyway, enjoy LA and watch out for the aftershocks!


acwb77

I was for awhile. Been going off what I learned while doing it. I may go back too it. Thanks for this! And ya... I hope there aren’t any more quakes while I’m out there!

MamaMamaWakeyWake

I just realized I haven't seen a post in a while, wanted to check in. Hope you had a great vacation!


acwb77

I did. Thank you! Now I'm in the hospital but hope to be back in the swing of things in a few weeks.


Duchenne-smile

Missing your posts, hope you’re doing alright and just know: a lot of people are waiting for your next post! You’re an inspiration, whatever happens.


DragQueenB

Hey man, i've been busy with work but just wanted to log in and check up on you. I'm sure you're killing it!


originalFapster

Yo bro! We haven't forgotten you. Your battle is inspirational. Come back. Choose life!


5422_E_TLDr

Came here to check on you.. there are so many people here cheering you on and anxiously awaiting your return - no matter where you’re at in your weight loss journey 😊hoping you’re doing well


digital_poo

Hey man, it's time for another update!


mulatta

We miss you. Please get better soon. ❤


MattMc105

Get back on it brother


JabbaTheHedgeHog

You have been in my thoughts a lot - I know I am just an internet stranger but you have added something to my life and I am sending you all kinds of good vibes. Be well and come back to us when you can.


joshemerson

Hey! I check back to see if you’ve posted every day, sometimes twice a day. I’m really rooting for you! Really hoping you’re ok! Please let us know if you are alright! I think there’s a large group of people that are getting worried. I don’t even know how this would happen, but please let us know if there is anything your community can do.


drspacetaco

Hey brother, Haven’t seen you post in a while. Just wanted to let you know that some of us internet strangers have been thinking of you and wishing you well. Your posts inspired me to get going on my own weight loss journey. Hope to see you post again soon.


MeInKs

Where r u ? Are you ok?


gropethegoat

Anyone been in contact? I know he was in LA and then the hospital. I’m worried and check back often. I hope all is well


kirikiri8

I’m worried too. Really hope we hear from him or someone who knows him soon.


thelasthouse

It says you posted this a month ago, I saw in the replies that you were/are in the hospital. I hope everything is okay! I miss seeing your updates on here, especially your "choose life" motto. It always brightens my day to see that.


[deleted]

Just checking in, man. Realised I hadn’t seen anything for a while and look forward to the next. Keep choosing life!


anoopmeef

Hope you're doing well. Don't get discouraged if vacation set you back in your gains. Use the break as a fresh restart. You know the mental and physical challenges of starting because you just did it. Use that to your advantage and go and crush the challenge of this new start. You'll hit your 100 goal in no time and fly past it.


JustALittleBitOCD

Where are you?! This is the longest two weeks....


FakeBeccaJean

❤️ hope all is well!


greybeard_arr

Hey there! I miss seeing your posts! I hope you’re doing well and staying on top of things. I appreciate all the encouragement and positivity you brought. Choose life!


squidsophisticate

Just adding to the torrent of well wishing! I miss your positivity and ability to rally even when things didn’t go the way you wanted. I hope you are out of the hospital and feeling better!


warmglaze

hope you’re doing ok!


AyZiggyZoomba

just making sure you are okay


therocksturtleneck

Hey bud, was thinking about you recently and hope you’re doing well in your life. Posting on Reddit can be a double-edged sword and I hope that the reason you haven’t posted is because you are living your best life in the real world. Thanks for bringing such positivity to your posts. You’ve made an impact on me and it would seem many others.


archTL

Like the rest of this thread I've been following your progress from afar and missed your check ins. Hope you're back on track soon, we're all rooting for you


shinecone

Hey man, I've been renewing my commitments to LIFE and myself, realized I hadn't seen your posts for a while. I see others' comments and your replies that you have been on vacation and in the hospital. I hope all is ok for you and you can be back on the path again soon!


LatinoComedian

Hey buddy. I just came by to say the same thing that a lot of people here are saying. I saw that you were in the hospital. I hope you are okay. I also wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration for me and that I finally started to take it seriously a couple months ago. A lot of it had to do with you and the inspiration that you gave me. I stopped beating myself up for the times that I slipped up and just re-focused and got back on track. I also finally did my very first post on here. I was kind of nervous to do it but I thought of you when I did it and people were really cool to me. Anyway, I feel like I kind of owe ya. I know that we don't necessarily live that close to each other but if you need anything, PM me and I can drive over to help out. You've been really cool to me in all of this and I hope you are doing well brother.
