Progression
I was out with Sherry yesterday and we were talking about Ian's progress. She's quite surprised that he's taken to exercising as well as he had. A lot of people who think they want to exercise don't, and they resist it every way they can. She's pretty sure that his history of working out helped out a lot. She also figures that carrying all the extra weight had him in better shape than she'd have thought a 600 pound man would be.
She told me about the water exercises he does, and I told her about his activity level at home and his new eating habits. Another key to this whole thing is that while he's eating better, he isn't going without. He's still eating a lot of food, but not QUITE as much, and it's been chosen to meet his nutritional needs as much as satisfying his hungers.
She gave me a rough estimate of his BMI. We all know that's not a perfect indicator of, well, anything, but it can be helpful to know. He's around a 72, which is still off most charts. (For the record, I'm around a 60)
The changes in Ian have been nice to see, he's got more energy, he's on his feet more, and for longer stretches of time. He does plenty around the apartment now, he runs errands, he even did a pretty good job moving through Sunfest on the weekend.
He still cuts an imposing figure, with his weight and height. His still wiggles and jiggles. In fact, now that he's got more energy and is moving around more, even though there's noticeably less to wiggle and jiggle, it actually wiggles and jiggles more. I'm enjoying it very much.
Also, his muscles really are bulking up under all that fat, I can feel them, if I feel hard enough for them. Muscles and fat, what more could a girl want?

A very interesting description of the changes going on in the life of Ian. Why no description of your own changes. If Ian's blog can be believed, and I suspect it can, your weight has blossomed up to 422, so the two of you are back under the 1000 pound total slightly. It would be very interesting to see if your weight gain could keep pace with his losses so that the total team still maintains its half ton total.
It sounds like Amy has taken the mantle of most massive gainer... and her pace seems to be relentless... but how about Char? You've suggested that your mobility and energy levels are much higher this time around into the 400s, do you think you could surpass your previous high of 460 and maintain your desired level of activity and mobility?

Good questions, Huge! I was also wondering what Char thinks about Ian's ex's weight gain, and that her boyfriend is, while not Ian-sized, still huge. It's truly an amazing phenomenon that every single person in your life get fat, even the tangential ones like Ian's ex. And they say the US is full of fat people! I think with your influence, Canada will soon be overtaking us in that department.

A little helper for you and Sherry in calculating BMI's for you and Ian: he's 6'3" and you're 5'10", so Ian's BMI is his weight (in pounds) divided by 8, and your BMI is your weight divided by 7. These numbers will accurate to within 1%.
The fact that the numbers are even is just a coincidence. The divisor for Amy is about 6.4.
