3 month update...lost about 30 lbs so far still got 60-80 to go, and my bloodwork is ALL normal to fantastic for the first time in decades. Cholesterol 150, A1c 4.9, etc. Even my liver enzymes are in normal range.

Going 56 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone is a ticketable offense, but if you got such a ticket, most people would consider it a bogus situation.  
It seems some of the issues you had were 56 miles per hour in a 55 and others were 75 in a 30.   The finger probe to insert, 100 in a 30, way too fast and probably worthy of condemnation.   The first rub of the leg at the bar, for me 56, returning and going higher shows disrespect and an ongoing desire to speed and that is where the line is drawn for me.  Your mileage may vary.
