I have a picture of me at 135. I'll scan it in and post it as my avatar. I'm standing with a bunch of Filipinos and I literally look like a white skeleton.

I won't post my current picture because I am ashamed at how fat I am (BarbaraGordon has seen my website and can attest to my corpulence).

I Have indeed seen the Meanie clan's blog. Mr. Meanie has a beautiful family and is probably bursting with pride.

There are now weight limits I believe for missionaries, at least that is what I was told by one of our full time Elders who is a big boy. He said that he wouldn't have been allowed to go on his mission had the new rules been in place when he submitted his papers.

I went on the mission about 225 and came home at 270. Yeah, ouch. Riding in a car for 22 months of my mission while being given a steady diet of carbs from members was the culprit.

I have a friend that served in Venezuela, he left at 200, sent me a picture about year in to his mission and he was down to 150. Then when he came home he was about 250. I didnt even recognize, him he said he got comfortable with the food and found a store that sold ketchup.

I went on my mission at 165...I came home at 170...with that said, I did gain 10 pounds after my two months in the MTC. MTC food makes you fat and quick.

I am now very much north of 170 pounds. I got 'back.'

What the hell did you guys do on your missions, pig out?

I left at 170, came home at 128, after having served in Germany. How in hades did some of you gain weight?

Food was not plentiful, neither were member appointments. We ate sparingly and traveled far and often. How does one gain weight on a mission?

I've been to Venezuela and there is some good comidas topicas, but it isn't that heavy, witness the many beautiful chicas running around.

I am actually pleased that I only gained 5 pounds. I served in the cheese and bread heavy country of Sweden and I had a car for 18 months of my mission.

128 Archaea? Man, I crap 128 pounds nearly every day.
