I have really enjoyed learning how to butcher a hog and cure my own hams and bacon. Those days are over for me. It's a small price to pay for good health. The most enjoyable part was being able to share the experience and the pig with my imaginary friends.

I'm on my way to Duke Medical Weight loss center in Raleigh. I need to lose weight and hope this 40 year old program will give me a kick start. It beats the heck out of bariatric surgery, something I hope to avoid.

This Karma is for home made bacon and home made sausage. The bacon is fully cured. The sausage is grilled and canned....just pop the jar open and fry, or crumble into marinara.

The young hogs we get were certified humanely raised in a clean, sealed environment, were corn fed and antibiotic free. We did it all. They walked in and left in vacuum packed packages of pork goodies.

I'll pick a winner when I return from Duke.

Must be in the US, must love pork, extra points for pet pictures because I enjoy them.

Mmmmmm.....Bacon.....

Please include me.

Jeff, please enter me.
I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my first cup of coffee now empty. The fridge doesn't have bacon and now I'm thinking of heading out to the store for bacon.

Good luck! Mmmm. Please count me in. Thanks for the bacon porn!

Since it is your last, please add me to your list.

I like a little "curly tailed cow" now and again.

Good luck on the goal, and to good health and long life!



Scooter says, slow is good for turtles and bacon, just not together.

"Pork Love Lives Here" No current pets to post but every one in the past loved Pork?

Not my dog, but fit's the post.

Jeff, I wish you the best of luck in trying to lose weight. I know it isn't easy. I found good success in modifying my diet and completely removing soda/soft drinks from my diet but I also began exercising quite a bit. I found that I like cycling and was fortunate enough to live near a lake with a 7 mile loop. I often would be half way around the lake and think to myself "fuck this I'm tired of cycling" but being 3.5 miles from my car I was forced to finish the loop. Often by the time I finished my first lap the endorphins would kick in and I'd do a second lap.

Please toss my name in the hat. I LOVE LOVE LOVE bacon. Extra points for pet pics? Here is a pic of me and my best friend.

Good luck at Duke Jeff!

Good luck with the program.

I'm in and if I can do it right here is a picture of my best bud:

My cat loves bacon!

Did you say bacon? We're in!

Best wishes on the program. I need to slow down too. I don't move around as much as I used to...

Just in time for Pesach! Don't include me as I've already won.

Who doesn't love bacon? Please add me. Thanks
