Was 309, now some where around 268. Lee Pierce (Leepierce) New member Username: Leepierce Post Number: 28 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2003 - 12:59 pm:    Whew...glad to hear it went well, Kelly! Congrats. Now you can read the weight restrictions in the 308 owners manual and not feel a pang of guilt for being 75% of it. (Hey, not being cruel, I'm 250 myself). Soon you'll be down to 50% of it, and you can send me a "wish you were here" card. I'll wish I was.

No king cake for you for awhile eh? Terry Springer (Tspringer) Member Username: Tspringer Post Number: 393 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Sunday, March 02, 2003 - 8:25 pm:    Ive lost 33 pounds since Jan. 1 and have about 35 more to go. I was up to 265 and felt terrible. Read "Body for Life" by Bill Phillips. This is a fantastic program. ITs not easy, but its no gimmick either. It works.

BTW, the redyed seats look good...

I had to respond to this just because I thought it was cool how you kind of made light about it. "Fatman in a 308" keeps reminding me of Chris Farley in Tommy Boy (maybe Black Sheep, but I think it was TB). For those of you not cultured in the comedy of my generation, Chris Farley tries to put on a small Jacket and keeps dancing around going "Fatman in a little coat" until he proceeds to tear it over his back. Think, the 308 will be faster then too, 110lbs less weight is almost like swapping from the rubber US DOT anchors to the slick euro version bumpers.

No stamples, just a lapband. new pics to follow this summer John Gadd (John_gadd) New member Username: John_gadd Post Number: 1 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 7:19 pm:    I am seeking to purchase a 308 or 328 GTS by summer. I would like to locate a buyers guide and or meet any body who has lived with one of these models. I want to hear the good, the bad and the ugly. Please advise. W. John Gadd Lee Pierce (Leepierce) New member Username: Leepierce Post Number: 25 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 12:55 pm:    Good luck with everything, Kelly. I appreciate the interest you took in my "new" '78 308 a couple of months ago, and all the tire advice. I look forward to seeing pictures of a leaner, hopefully-not-meaner you! Also look forward to meeting you and your sidekick there. PS: loving the 308...loving, loving, loving the 308...loving it...whew!!!...loving it.

Mike Charness (Mcharness) Member Username: Mcharness Post Number: 265 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 9:33 am:    Kelly, my friend, I wish you the best, though I hate to hear you're having to resort to surgery as a last resort. It looks like you've gained weight since you were up here in Huntsville! We'll be praying that you are fortunate enough to avoid complications, since the surgery DOES work and you'll be healthier in the long run if nothing else has worked for you.
