Sponsor me and Sponsor the American Diabetes Foundation - Per JohnChow.com
Posted on February 5th, 2008 in Featured lose weight, weight loss
Either as a suggestion or criticism of my plight, Mike Panic, suggested I’d be better off raising money for a Charity like the American Diabetes Foundation.
You can read about that in the comments of John Chow’s endorsement / sponsorship of my Weight Loss plan.
I responded that it was a good idea, and that I would now be giving 25% of my sponsorship money to the American Diabetes Foundation.
I know a number of people with Diabetes, my wife’s best friend is one, and I know that IF I keep living the same way I’ve been living then I have an 80% chance or better of becoming Diabetic myself.
I have a big thing against needles, shots, and pricking parts of my body. In other words: a low pain tolerance. As I mentioned this on John Chow, in a comment, this is my Official post to make everyone aware of this, and perhaps give you a better reason to sponsor me.
Recap: 25% of ALL sponsorships, including advertisers of this site will go to the American Diabetes Foundation.

I love and I am attracted to chubby / fat / big men. But, if your health is at risk, good luck in slimming down. I am a big woman myself, but when I had my 2nd child, I just slim down without any diet

It was a suggestion and I’m glad to see you doing so. Well done and good luck!

What Mike says, the best of luck to you.
I’m 368 lbs as I write this but my blood sugars, etc are sickeningly good. I have a tummy now, no doubt, but I was 4% body fat at 328 lbs while playing football a decade ago and credit that for my health now.
The tummy has to go, thanks for the inspiration.

That’s a great thing to do! I actually did read about your quest on johnchow. Keep it up and loose that weight! The more you lose the more you’ll donate!
