This was certainly a "made it" kind of day for me...
My closest friend moved to Tenn about Feb of '99. At the time I was about 185lb. He got married over Labor Day last year, so we drive down there for the wedding. With a little planning, I hit my highest weight of 212 the day we drove there. I was pretty fat, but still almost 30 lbs heavier. When I got out of the car at his house, it wasn't "Hi" or "Hey man, how ya been?"
It was "HOLY SHIT DID YOU GET BIG! WTF HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING? YOU LOOK GREAT! THE GUYS SAID YOU WERE GETTING BIGGER, BUT I HAD NO IDEA!"
He's coming up to the Chicago area for a wedding in August. I'm going to try for 230 with less fat. Hopefully I can turn it into another one of those days...
