    Skeeter’s Big Biscuits was the first meal the wife and I had as a married couple. Loved that place.

    Lost 85 so far on Mounjorno. Horrid side effects in beginning, nausea, constipation, fatigue. Now 6 months in constant 2.5 per week, limited hunger and no cravings

    He did. He was very polite! Tried to upload a pic of him from after the game. Said, file was too big……

    It's a life changer for so many people. I am presuming as an athlete he cannot use it, but at some point he will have to get on it or the subsequent drugs that will be improvements on it.

    I believe he did initially lose 40 lbs; then he gained it back out of concern his britches will be too loose fitting. I get it.

    I saw on another site photos of Dez participating in a football camp for youngsters. I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. It looked like Dez has lost some weight. He's still a big guy but he didn't look terrible. I hope he can really step up this year and play a lot.

    Big Des is now up to 464. What a shame on so many levels.

    Football clearly isn’t important enough to him to get into playing shape. His spot should go to someone who is willing to work and sacrifice to make himself the best he can be. This has gone on way too long at this point.

    Would rather people wait and see how accurate these are before bashing a kid and staff. One of the writers from TOS said he though Watson looked slimmed down a bit if anything. Who knows.

    Some can run all day and not drop a lb. Others can eat fat and protein and not gain an oz. of weight. He could have a body type or condition that makes it extremely difficult to drop weight, so I would not pass judgment on him. Otoh, I would pass judgment on our staff if he did not have access to all the diagnosis, therapies and medicines available to get control of the weight. His NIL should be enough to pay for Wegovy or Zepbound if that can work for him.

    I think it’s a joke to even mention the NFL. He can barely move. He is not an asset for our team either. 1 out of 100 plays ..a RB might accidentally run into him. That’s it.

    The same thing was said last spring. He looked slimmed down but came in heavy as usual.

    I guess when the coached told Desmond to work twice as hard he thought the said eat twice as hard...

    I guess he was practicing that diet that says, the more you eat the more you lose, into his lifestyle.
