I just noticed that I have reached the summit of RMRS! I have reached level 9. it has truly been an honor and a privilege to not only be around such a great group of ladies and gentlemen, but to learn and grow in this community. I hope that I input as much as I have received from this community. The mere fact that I have made it to this level with such great men of character and to see the once that are coming up as well if truly inspiring in this world that we live in showing that that true gentlemen still do exist. I hope that I can continue to grow and learn from all of you, and I hope that I can retune the favor by passing on the knowledge and experience I gain from all of you to others as well. Again thakn you all for your support.

Here's the stuff on me. Man I really like this vintage Hart Schaffner and Marx golden trumpeter 100% cashmere overcoat.

Between November 2024 and Aug 16, 2025 I lost 35 pounds and I finally conquered the flab that had been plaguing me since my last BIG drop in 2,000 (when I had turned 40 and that was only 14 lbs). After moving from Richmond, VA to Claremore, OK-The intensely stressful success at building a wealth management department and conceiving and building a trust division (2,002-2012) coupled with the natural slowing of my metabolism at my age helped contribute to a 40 pound gain in weight by 2014 (205lb😳 at 67.75” tall). Martial arts, fly fishing, and singing in a kilt didn’t protect me from the stress induced binge eating I did here in Oklahoma where the state bird is the chicken fried steak and holy communion is briskets and gravy. After a heart attack in 2017, between 17 straight years of failing to re-attain my year 2,000 - 40 year old weight- I went drastic last year and beat my 40 year old weight (166) by my 65th birthday (160.5 by 8/16/25). I saw this gag gift, the hillbilly diet pill, but essentially it works. Rather, I did some pretty well thought out extended fasts (100 hours built up to over 4 months or 1 per month: 36hr, 72 hr, 90hr, 100hrs) In 2026 my goals are to do some body sculpting: gain muscle of an inch or two in my shoulders, one inch in my chest, (all to save $ on clothes) and lower my body fat percentage from 21.5 % to 13-16%. The plan is to be there by August and the method is to intensify my lifting, swimming and martial arts. Wish me luck. - the things I learned last year are: • Be realistic about your time horizon (sustaining 1lb a week is hard as hell) • sleep and staying out of the kitchen is 90% of it • have accountability partner(s). Not counting my wife I have an 81 year old personal trainer and a 67 year old 7th degree blackbelt I meet with multiple times per week. Have a blessed 2026 - Whatever your goals are fellas. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8NRtHJqwuGA
