Photography is helping with my weight loss (70 lbs so far)

[Vic Vinegar]

I don't want people to fight. Maybe 70 pounds is the size of a 10 or 11 year old. Those are small females too.

I'm moving to south city next month, 44 and Jefferson. I work at Schiller's Camera, I'm the photo retouch artist.

Brad sold me my 40D. One of my dad's favorite photos of me is when I was about 5 and he was testing out his camera in the store and you can even see the red and white checkerboard pattern on the ground in the photo

Brad's a good guy, to bad he is leaving us. He is moving to the state of Washington to work with his sister in the fake nails industry....!

Wow, that's a LOT of weight to lose!!

I was going to mention that I once lost nearly 300 lbs…but I see Lew has already beaten me to that punchline. That was in 1997, when my ex- departed.

I do think that the time I spent out hiking, stalking birds to photograph played a part in losing about 40 pounds between late 2012 and early 2014.
Since then, I seem to have found about 20 of those pounds again. Just this morning, I decided that it's gotta come off again…and with spring here now, maybe I can get out and do some of that photography and bird stalking that may help get these extra pounds back off.

Congrats! 70lbs is most of a small female! Hell of a job!

Err ... 35kg is a female ? Of what species, exactly ?!? Unless you talk about kids or really short starving models, I dont see how anyone would fit into just 35kg.

My son's 21-year-old girlfriend probably doesn't weigh 75 pounds soaking wet.
I have several short…err, petite…friends who weigh somewhere between 90-100 pounds, maybe 110. So yeah, I could see saying that 70 lbs. is *MOST* of a small female. Certainly well over half of one, anyway.
But I believe that was mostly an expression, meaning, "WOW, that's a LOT of weight to lose!!" It's not always necessary to be mathematically precise in these things.

You are stronger than I am.

But anyways I didn't get into photography until about 6 months ago. I was down about 40 pounds before I decided to do this. But this is certainly important to it now. It's a nice addition to my 45 minute marathons in the morning and my lifting 3 days a week. I hike about once a week but even just walking around out back in my bare feet with my camera is helpful. It helps me want to get outdoors more. And another thing is that I do a lot of projects for other people with it. Like right now I'm doing a macrophotography project for all my cousins and in order to do that, I had to dig up my mom's garden in the back that she hasn't planted in years. And I carried about 700 pounds worth of top soil and then a few 40 pound bags of fertilizer back there and spent 2 weeks plowing, tilling, shoveling, raking, and planting. All so I could get some shots of different flowers for my cousins.

And you think *I'm* stronger???
Heck, when I want flower macros, if there's nothing blooming in the yard on its own already--I go to the store, buy a nice floral bouquet, bring it home, and snap away!

um... that's kind of what I did for the first few pictures of this project. And I might do that with all the other ones. But then I'll plant them and then see what happens lol. But seriously I can easily admit when I meet someone stronger or wiser or smarter than me. And I'm proud to have known them.
