My jeep is the reason I have been on a diet for the last month. I didn't think I had packed on too much weight but after i lifted my jeep the ride became a bit stiffer, i began noticing that I was jiggeling while driving down the road.

Thanks Jeep for motivating me! I hope to be jiggle free by jeep safari.

I doubt a JK, with its fancy IFS would have told me to lose weight.

P.S. Losing weight is one of the most difficult things a person can do in this life time. My hat goes off to anyone who is fighting the battle, especially some of you who have already sounded off. I have never heard it said better than the poster who said that dieting is like quiting a drug but still having to expose yourself to a little bit of the drug every day. No cold turkey. Almost impossible....almost (I'm paraphrasing).

Coworker 4 = 318 lbs
Total = 1,334 lbs of human flesh in my vehicle.

The poor Jeep handled relatively well and the acceleration was a slight sluggish. It also had a slight lean to one side because I was driving and the 165 pounder was sitting behind me so all of the weight was over the passenger side. These are very large people and everyone seem to fit fine. The 415 pounder was riding shot gun and was a little squeezed but other than that everyone appeared to be comfortable. I know their weights because we are having a weight loss competition in the office.

And before any asks, no matter how great the demand, I am not posting pictures of these women.
Did the air bag sensor flash "Help me, HELP ME!"

The kids can't get me any more as they are all gone but not forgiven....
Oh wait thats forgiven but not forgotten? Rotten lil bastards...
Ones in a Bronco and the other's in a F150.

Being fat is only unhealthy if you don't move.
Or if you do move and hit something.
But then it usually hurts what you hit more.

My JEEP is FAT (PHAT).
All it needs is a Hemi. Or maybe you can put a 2nd 3.8l in the back?
Have 2wd drive in the fron and the back and yank all that ESP crap that is for skinny folk.

Anyway have FUN. If it floats your boat to experience angst and out-right fear of death etc. Enjoy it to the hilt and worry really good and hard and so on.
It won't help you lose wieght but what the hell! It's fun right?

But KNOW this, YOU WILL DIE.
.

So have some fun out there before you do and make it home again so you can do it again and break something and lose wieght fixing it.

People who start out just a little overweight like you who talk about how it can be done and say look at me piss me off.
Losing 43# when you're 223 is almost a 20% drop in weight, so if you're 500#, that would be 100# loss. I don't care what your weight is, losing 20% of your weight is difficult and should be commeded, unless of course your at weight or under. My sister-in-law dropped over 300#'s but was only able to do it with surgery, so I can certainly understand the struggles overweight people have.

I can definitely appreciate quitting and addiction. Weight has never been a problem for met (yet, I'm turning 37). It has been a problem for my Mother since I was a kid. I just quit smoking about 5 weeks ago. I was on the patch for a couple months prior to that. And let me tell you, if you want to quit.. that patch works. Or at least it did for me. Hell, I didn't even really want to quit. I've tried before without luck. I always thought the patch only would work if you really wanted to quit. So when I half wanted to I wasn't sure how well it would take. But here I am, 5 weeks after stopping the patch and I'm still cig free. Thank God. Yes, praying some definitely helps too.

Dude realize that every person who is that overweight knows about the health risks and don't need to hear it from anyone else. It takes them doing it for themselves and no amount of other people telling them "I did it", (it's bad for you", ETC does anything more than piss them off or insult them. I am sorry if I have offended you in any way but I personally am fed up with the weight loss brigade about as much as the PETA folks.

If my buddy invited three big girls to ride in my jeep he wouldn't be my buddy for long. What a horrible wingman!
