Great Lakes Garrison & Base

Just checking in with everyone! Hope your all doing well and working towards meeting your goals. I've been chugging along but really hit a wall in terms of weight loss. I realize "weight" isn't a true indicator of fitness, but all the same..I need to lose more to truly hit me personal goal...

Looks great buddy..looking forward to seeing it live Saturday. Nicely done!

Hi all...thought I'd post my progress on my next build. Obviously there is something missing here...but as those of you who know me (because I grumble about it all the time) my flight suit and vest have not yet arrived (currently at a year waiting time :cry: ) At any rate, the moment it arrives I ho...

Hey all----Well.....it has been one year since I originally started my "I do not want to be Porkins" diet. Last year, at an event.....a youngling was all too excited to meet his very favorite Rebel Pilot "Porkins". At that time, I decided enough was enough and it was time to get ...

Wow!! Just wow! Can't wait to see everything when it's done.

Unfortunately at a standstill waiting on my black undersuit and vest. The 6 month estimate is now at 10 months. I just can't justify paying another vendor when I've paid for it in full from someone else. Everything else is completed and in hand. Pretty frustrating....

Back at it...made it through the holidays and stopped eating "treats" on the 25th. Only gained 3 pounds and have lost 1.5 of it already. Wife bought me a "FitBit" for Christmas. Actually a pretty fun little trinket. A pedometer on steroids for all intents and purposes. It's fun t...

Chris is definitely correct relative to the size difference in Maul and Oppress. Having said that and personally knowing Bill....he can definitely pull off Savage :D They grow em big here in Midland. Bill...I see you coming at me in Opress's get up and that big ole scary vibro blade...I'm getting th...

I went with the Sith Armor ones. I'm pretty happy with them.

Hey all! I'm just about there on my biker scout build. Unfortunately I'm now at a standstill though as my racing suit isn't finished and the seamstress is quite a bit behind schedule. I can't put finishing touches, strapping, etc as I don't want to be inaccurate with my measuring sans the suit under...

I have a brand new spare holster for ya if still in need. Drop me a line

I have a moncal holster coming attached to boots they made me. Kathy from Moncal says everything is finished and on its way. If it is in fact good to go and I'm happy with it when I receive it then.....I will have an extra brand new holster that I received from studio creations I can part with. If y...

Hit a little personal goal today..Since starting this thing I've been trying to hit 3 miles on the elliptical within 30 minutes. I usually shoot for the goal once a week as it is pretty darn tough. I first was able to hit that mark on level 15 and since that time have slowly tried to elevate the lev...

Down another 1.5 pounds this week. As my weight loss has stalled a bit I'm really happy with that. I'm at the point where the scale has become less important to me. My clothes are loose and I can hit it as hard as I want in the gym without feeling awful. The very best thing is the number of folks at...

On another note...I have really enjoyed using the free calorie tracking site called "Myfitnesspal.com" For anyone knew to weight loss and having trouble finding out some good choices/eat this not that type questions...I've found its great. Just another good tool for keeping yourself accoun...

While I don't post all the time..I still always check this thread. To be honest, I like seeing your posts relative to your runs. There have been times in the morning I don't feel like heading to the gym (like today) and I see your post and think to myself "get your butt going". I started t...

My wife's new puppy chihuaha (sp) is doing an outstanding job of putting holes in things. He'll take you up on your offer

Thanks all the same..really appreciate the help/responses.

Thanks a million! I'll keep you all updated on my progress.

Hey all....I'm working on my biker scout armor that I just received. In order to best assemble it and hopefully apply for Lancer status there are a couple of "extra" things I need to do that will involve heating and molding a couple of small "scrap" pieces of white ABS. The probl...
