  • Mom · 1 year ago
    You are not doing WW meetings? Hummmm. I just went to my first WW meeting. I know how to loose weight but I need the encouragement that the people who are in the same boat bring to the group. Hope it works for you and for me. Love you Babe, MOM ;-)

    I officially, finally, know what LOL and ROTFL stand for.

    Tears.
  • Darcie · 1 year ago
    One of my students does almost exactly what just did on that video on a daily basis. For some reason, it's sooooo much funnier when you do it. That was hilarious!
  • phillip · 1 year ago
    I'm with you dude. I've gotten as fat as I can allow myself to be.
  • Chad Jarnagin · 1 year ago

  • Abe · 1 year ago
    Bro just for the record it is 2008, you put 2007. Just FYI. Not like everyone and their brother hasn't been putting 2007 on everything.
  • Jeff Kapusta · 1 year ago
    I'm with you. The skinny guys coming out. I'm 5'10", 182 and have 15lbs to shed.
  • Emily · 1 year ago
    I am sitting here cramming a pint of ben and jerry's half baked down my throat laughing my arse off.
    That was hands down the best thing I have ever seen on this site.
  • johnincolorado · 1 year ago
    I'm in in Colorado. I'm going to ride the weight off. not sure how much weigh now...220+? I"m 6'6". Hoping to get to 200-205.
    thanks for the video, homer!
  • Scott Magdalein · 1 year ago
    I tried to blog about some weight loss back in the summer, but it ended miserably with only a few pounds of loss before it leveled off and I stopped blogging about it due to shame and embarrassment. I hope yours goes much better.

    I'm rooting for you.

  • callmetravis · 1 year ago
    I'm in. But I'm not dancing like that.
    Love your blog.
    Here's my strategy:
    1. Nothing fried.
    2. No dessert
    3. Always choose chicken or fish

  • Jamie · 1 year ago

  • steven.russell · 1 year ago
    I'm in Los.

  • erin · 1 year ago
    ok now i know you are not right :) but i am proud of you, if you can do it i can do it, i need to lose 20 lbs ~ 10 baby ~ 10 before baby.
  • Brooke · 1 year ago
    Oh my! That was too funny! Good luck, i'm in the same boat and Weight Watchers is the best way to go!
  • April · 1 year ago
    I am right with you. I am looking to lose about 50 pounds ultimately, but I breaking it down into smaller goals! My first is ten pounds and keeping that off!
  • Tracey · 1 year ago
    This is me trying not to wake the baby laughing... ~:-D

    Count me in. I started back to meetings last week, unfortunately at more than where I started last time. D'oh! Maybe I can laugh it off? 10% here I come!
  • Rick · 1 year ago
    Hey Los, feel free to cross post over at FatBloggers.net any time...let me know if you need your login info again.
  • artgood · 1 year ago
    Dude! I am so in with you. My wife and I started on weight watchers in '96 and I lost 35lbs! Then, in February of 2007 we moved to a new city so I could pastor a different church, and I have put on 10-12lbs (I hate you Mandarin Kitchen... no, I didn't mean it).

    So, 2008's goal is to lose the 10, plus another 15 to get down to 180.

    Fat Ragamuffins unite!
  • Rhi · 1 year ago
    first of all. you are SO crazy! too much. i'm with you dude! i mean seriously, i STILL have not lost all this baby weight. izaiah is 4 months today. that means i have ONE month left to lose like 40 pounds. not gonna happen. so, my new goal is by june 1st. so, let's do it!!!
  • coni andress · 1 year ago
    I am in brother. 165 lbs going down to 135. In the middle of a 7 day cleanse as we speak to be followed up by a food plan that my chiropracter came up with. WW is a good program. Been there, done that and it worked for a couple of years. Let's get healthy for 2008!
  • Nathan Gaddis · 1 year ago
    dude...just make sure you factor in some cushion you will be getting in Nashville next month at Re:Create!! You know the eatings will be something fierce! Just lose an extra 20 the week before and you'll be good. adios.
  • Mr. Police Man · 1 year ago
    2nd video is from 08' but you put 1-4-07
  • Jason Curlee · 1 year ago
    That was absolutely, undeniably, unforgettably, over-the-top, out-of-this-world, unquestionably, categorically, extremely, enormously, definitely the most ridiculously disgusting thing I have ever seen....BUT....I laughed so freakin' hard.....HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA.

    You are a Rag-a-lot-a-muffin...

    Livin' la vida 'los

    P.S. I ain't even gettin' my blubber on camera...but it might be the only way.

    P.S.S. Nah...I don't want to scare the world.
  • Kimie · 1 year ago
    aaaahhhhahahahaha

    =)

    thank you for that.
  • Greg Johnson · 1 year ago
    Absolutely hilarious flicks RagMan. My son and wife even watched.

    You can do it brother.

    I lost 50 pounds in two years the old fashion way. Check it out at http://www.lovinggodfellowship.org/christian_fo... .

    Know I'm a mean lean running machine. I just finished running 3 marathons in 9 weeks.

    Know that you are loved,

  • Angie · 1 year ago
    hey good luck with the fat ragamuffin adventures again!!! I ran into a blog that mentioned this cool web tool: voicethread.com. It seems like something you'd be interested in. You can watch the demo on http://voicethread.com/#q.b409.

    I didnt intend for this to appear like a spam comment!!! haha! Hope you had a great Christmas at home in CA! :)
  • Eric · 1 year ago
    what do i do if i didn't enjoy this post?
  • Doug · 1 year ago
    Now THAT'S why I read this blog.
  • lynse leanne · 1 year ago
    i am in...i have a wedding to shed the pounds for. ;)

    does it count that i am about to do a 21 day fast...not the reason, but may work in my favor.
  • RD Robinson · 1 year ago
    Los,
    I am so ashamed. Bro you have inspired me. I'm actually going to use that Nike+ iPod I asked for and got for Christmas (+ the Nike running shoes I had to buy in order to use them). I'm 5-10 and weigh in at 224. I feel your scaredness from the WW. Peace Homie. <
  • Erick Bauman · 1 year ago
    I just saw There Will Be Blood, walked home from the Lincoln Center AMC, sat down to my Google Reader and this is what I ended my night on. Daniel Day Lewis has got nothing on you.

    I'm rocking the 40lbs weight lose resolution. Best of luck to you and here's to a year of leafy greens and large slabs of meat sans the bread, potato and pasta.
  • Jamie Waddy · 1 year ago
    You're so not kidding about the NP 15...it gets the best of all of us. Maybe we should get a team to start running up and down the escalators every day...haha
  • Dana · 1 year ago
    You are SO funny....seriously....really funny. I love that you got the kids and wifey in there dancing with you...while you shook your "money maker".
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    Hey Los...
    I'm with you. I lost 20+ with WW...I've gained back 20+ not doing WW. So I'm back... I'll join your crusade!

  • Cindy Beall · 1 year ago
    I'm in. Lots of water. No eating after 7:30 pm. Lots and lots of water. Eat a big breakfast. Tons of water. Increase my activity level. And did I say drink water?
  • John Carroll · 1 year ago
    Dude, you don't know me, but that is hilarious! I love it brother. Good luck killing that weight. I am 5'8" 201 today. Race you to 180. Want to put a bet on it? $25 bucks on Itunes sound good?
  • Matt Bunk · 1 year ago
    I missed the first round of fat ragamuffins. But I'm glad you brought it back. We put together a weight-loss competition at my office. 11 of us. We put in some cash. Highest percentage loss takes all the dough. I'm glad that I have a secret encouragement tool to help keep me motivated. I'll let you know if I win.
  • Russ · 1 year ago
    /in.
  • anne jackson · 1 year ago
    i am still reaping the benefits of the last FR adventure. sans 37 lbs. thank you for kicking me in the pants last year.

    but i'm good for now.
  • Fay · 1 year ago
    I remember one of your FR posts saying something like, "the world will watch you fail." Well, I just stopped blogging about it and hoped folks would just forget. :) Here I go again...
  • Albee · 1 year ago
    Don't change a thing....the Albee's love you just the way you are.
  • Scott Williams · 1 year ago
    I'm inspired, I might even shoot a video however it won't be as graphic as yours! LOL

    When you said for young children to turn their head my four year old was in my lap and asked "Daddy, do I need to turn my head?" I covered his eyes becasue I didn't know what was coming. He got a kick out of the belly stuff!
  • Robin · 1 year ago
    1. I'm so glad FR is back...I've missed it.
    2. Losiah's amazing adorable-ness outshines antyhing disturbing you may have done in that video. Ha. I just wanna hold him!
    3. You can do it. I believe in you.
    4. I'm in. I've stopped being able to lose anymore back in May '07, and I'm sick of just maintaining...I've still got around 10 or so I'd like to lose. :-)
  • Rachel · 1 year ago
    You have no shame...Godspeed.
  • bobby · 1 year ago
    Yup. I hear ya. I lost almost 20 last year. And I'm back up 11 last I checked. Wife and I are starting South Beach again this week.

    But if any of us are in, that doesn't require we shake it, does it? ;)
  • Greg · 1 year ago
    I am speechless and yet inspired at the same time.
  • dan · 1 year ago

  • Mindy @ She Said · 1 year ago
    I joined WW back in September. The blog confessions work wonders at keeping me focused. You can read about my journey here at my site. Thanks for your openness I know how hard it can be.
  • David · 1 year ago

  • Abs · 1 year ago

    I'm in, but not until July - after I have this baby! I have a good excuse to remain fat for the next 6 months!
  • beccity · 1 year ago
    Hey, David, me, too!! I am 27 and weigh 95 lbs. I hope to gain 10 lbs this year. (The right way, not by eating junk and being lazy. Muscles, baby!!!)
  • Ryan B · 1 year ago
    Wow. That was hilarious!

    That little Korean is the coolest little cat I've seen in a while now.
  • portorikan · 1 year ago
    yeah, I'm trying to lose weight too.
  • larissa · 1 year ago

  • west · 1 year ago
    OK, now I have to do this. I cannot stay in 36" waist pants. NO, NO, NO! I will not!

    I changed to a very seditary occupation where I'm stuck staring at my moniter all day long. We watch the "Biggest Loser" on Tuesdays and I want that to be my wife and I at the end.

    6', 200 +, w/pipe cleaners for arms......NO MORE! I'm in again...dangit
  • Ronni · 1 year ago
