I'd love to lose the last of my gut, but not even dinner fills me up anymore... I need gastric bypass...

I did, but not since I shed 10 lbs. in the last month. That Hoodia from Costco really works!

Huh? Bonking doesn't have anything to do with how fat you are...
If I'm over 15% body-fat, I'd consider myself quite "fat". The rolls and handles show up quite loudly. My target is around 8-9%.

Although I would make the same decision in a heartbeat, I would suggest that those who can lose the weight other ways look very seriously at your options.

My bodyfat level is such that my abs are just beginning to show. Apparently thats around 10% bodyfat. But yeah, I'd like to lose more and get to around 7 or 8%... That'd be about 5% of my total body mass, and therefore a little faster up the hills. 
Actually its hard to believe that going by how I look I coulc lose about 9lbs of fat and still have 7% bodyfat, wierd...
Unfortunately chocolate, beer, bacon, cheese etc seem to be preventing it.

Bonked up a hill ?? really..what's a hill? bonking is due to not enough available carbs. Judgin' by the photo..... well, take a power bar,cliff bar etc. or a banana or two.. cookies.. for DURING the ride..it's NOT 'cause you're fat. You have it backwards.The Chinese food is high in sodium though,OK for sweatin' season but it can bloat you(water weight ) otherwise.

I would consider myself fat, yes. But I'm big boned so I can handle a few extra. At 6'1, I weigh 230. Last time I did the ol fat content thing at a healthfare, I was 30% bodyfat according to that hand held thingy. Then they told me to seek medical attention!

Fat? lol . I've been vegan for several years. Lean and strong; it's like walking on air.
