HKELLICK's finest hours!

Hkellick, daily chat host, volunteer moderator and author of the CC Diet is coming up on his second anniversary on CC... and according to what he just said on the chat, he's not really planning on doing much to celebrate his anniversary.

So, it's time to a little reminder of why he needs to celebrate.

HK has been there for so many people. From his CC Diet, to his messages, to his presence in the forums... he's made a lot of differences for a lot of people.

Weigh in now and share your story... there is nothing too small to be shared... because it's time we give back to a person who has given so much.

he enjoys the occasional 'bonk' on the head with a frying pan.... and has an awesome sense of humor!

***edit*** I can't believe I actually just typed the last six words above  ;)

Oh gosh :p This is going to go over like a lead balloon :p

*waits for the insults and harassment*

Ooo!  Is this a roast? 

I will think overnight - so I get the right moment.  :)

*runs in bonks HK over the head with a frying pan*

Thanks Moody you can have your pan back now.

hehe... thanks!

I'll go ahead and leave this here frying pan in this here thread for other's to use  ;)

*gently places frying pan on table before leaving*

I, personally, find HK to be a hero for deleting my drunken posts that would certainly lead to embarrassment had I read them before the hangover wore off.

I think for that along he needs a round of applause.

He brought boobies to chat. That, alone, makes him a hero, forever, in my mind.

OK... MY story:

I began on CC over a year ago. Relatively speaking, my weight loss was pretty small (35 lbs) and it went pretty smoothly. Yeppers, I had bumps and moments and plateaus, but it was also a roaring success. I hit my goal and all went well.

Over the year it took me to lose my weight, I was a regular chatter and it was here that HK and I became friends. Chatting made weight loss more fun and took the pressure off my "serious" need to lose weight. When I fell down, which I did, HK gave me The Talk and then cheered me when I got back on track. All told through, it was not a long hard year.

Then everything changed.

I left my husband, moved halfway across the country TWICE in two months - once with my husband and once when I left him. I became a single mother, lord help me, living in a hotel for a period with my daughter, and I had to begin everything again, starting with finding a job, a place to live - and then every item required to run a house from spatulas to beds. CC fell to the side for me so much so, that when I hit my goal weight, I didn't notice. I had been so stressed out, I'd stopped eating properly.

HK was there for me. Sometimes he and I exchanged some emotional emails and sometimes he was goofy and distracting so I could just get on with enjoying my time. Around Christmas when my weight bumped back up by a few pounds, HK was the one to set me straight on what I was doing (which was panicking and feeling sorry for myself).

That's my story. HK has been there for me, literally through thick and thin.

*bump*

hk's made me laugh quite a few times, but we've never been friends per say. I'm more an admirer of his humor/logic from afar :)

this place wouldn't be the same without HK. we've had our disagreements here and there, but he's a great guy and i'm lucky to call him a friend!

Slowly steps out from behind the bushes she mostly lurks from

I have to say that HK's sense of humor keeps me coming back for more (although I don't always get his jokes!)

 Also, I do enjoy the level-headed advice that he does offer.  Many times I have read through a thread and gotten wrapped up in the emotion,conflicts, and tempers and then HK has swooped in with some "nobel" advice or reasonings. 

I like to think of HK as one of the many Greek Gods of CC.  Thank you for your presence!

scurries back into the bushes realizing its getting really crowded back here. 

greek god??  well i dont' know about that..... ;-)

but i am very lucky to call HK my friend.  he has helped many and truly wants to do good and has succeeded with that in many ways and with others.  HK is one of those people you meet in life that you just know has a good heart  :-)

and....he's the MaleMe so it can't get much better than that now can it ;-)

Well, I'm fairly new so I can't say that I'm friends w/ HK...more of an admirer from afar.  His sense of humor kills me!  My favorite was "Carrot Juice is Murder" by the Arrogant Worms.  I was sitting at my desk while reading it and almost peed my pants.  My neighbor actually came over to check on me b/c she thought I was crying.  Just trying to stifle the laugh...auditors aren't supposed to laugh you know!  So, thanks for making my work day pass by and giving me a reason to laugh!  Congrats on your anniversary!

Congrats to HK for a great 2 years!

I really like the level headed advice, but I gotta praise the sense of humor and thank him for the comfort of knowing I'm not the only geek around here.

...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

hk is my friend and he has been a friend in many situations at many hours (though never after 9 pm so I don't mean it like THAT!) more times that I can tell (plus my memory is like, SHOT, so... what was I saying?)

;D

well done hk!

HK who?

Happy upcoming anni!

*bump*

I thought about this yesterday and here goes:

I've know HK for a little over a year now and in that time we have become good friends.  We have gotten to know each other well. Sometimes I think he knows me too well. The support he has given me not only with 'dieting' but other areas of my life is what will help make me an over all more healthy person. I'm glad I went to that first meet-up (for me) and braved joining the daily chat. As I tried to explain to him a couple of days ago, he is an inspiration to many and not just for his diet advise.

Happy anniversary!

PS- I'm glad someone else doesn't always get all his jokes too.
