:pals:

[BarenakedLady]

13. Congratulations to you!

:yourock:

I lost about 20+, but not in a good way.

Way to rain on your parade, eh.

[SPKrazy]

21. I've Done That Before BNL

you couldn't rain on my parade if you tried!

I'd just think it was a "lovely spring shower" if you did ;-)

:loveya: :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

31. A lovely spring shower....

how sweet of you.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

32. Awww

shucks

:blush:


:hug:

[Guava Jelly]

16. Congrats I recently lost a boatload myself

Via eating better and exercise.Oh and heart break...
I wouldn't suggest doing it that way though. I went from a 40 waste to a 33-34
I feel and look like a different man

[SPKrazy]

22. Heartbreak City

I understand that

and there is that involved too.

:cry:

but I'm not going to cry about it today!

:pals:

[Guava Jelly]

29. Looks like you did the same thing i did

It feels great hugh

Just so you know and in case you haven't seen this
Here is a before and after picture.The hair is terrible but you get the drift.
Heartbreak diets are pretty dang effective..

[SPKrazy]

33. Yeah, There Is That !

and that is a great deal of difference dude!

You're looking buff!

:headbang:

[Guava Jelly]

36. Complete with oversized "The Simpson's " boxers.

I have been slacking as of late.
But I am still maintaining.
Thank you :7

[SPKrazy]

39. Oversized Simpson's Boxers!

that's great!

that's hugh1111

:rofl:

I was getting undressed at the gym, and my damned pants just fell off when I undid my belt.

Time to shop

[Guava Jelly]

41. Sucks don't It

:sarcasm:
And yes.. It is a Rush buying new (smaller) clothes.
:woohoo:

[SPKrazy]

42. I'm Ready!

Tired of my pants falling off, it's really a drag.

What I really hate is people keep coming up to me (mostly women) and saying "you've really lost a lot of weight, it looks good"

I just hate that! :sarcasm:

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

46. I hate it when they look at you like you are just some cheap piece of meat.

Ok so i am lying.
:rofl:
Cheap and meat beats out chunky and ignored anyday.

[SPKrazy]

61. I'm All For Being A Cheap Piece Of Meat Myself

in fact, I'm all about being a cheap piece of meat right now!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Beausoir]

55. Wow! That is so cool. I'm down over 30 pounds myself since August.

But it is hard and slow.
Moderate carbs, more veggies, smaller portions.
I just can't motivate myself to exercise enough.

[Guava Jelly]

57. Thank you

I avoid carbs like the plague.
Motivation is a hard nut to crack sometimes.
congrats on your 30 lbs that is quite an accomplishment :toast:

[SPKrazy]

58. I Need To Reduce My Carbs

I've plateaued and I think that carbs are why.

I've also increased my strength training to build more muscle.

The exercise motivation is kind of like take your body the mind will follow. I could never talk myself into exercising. I could talk myself into taking my gym bag to work, and going straight to the gym.

It got easier to go. (Of course the fact that it made a great way to avoid going home where I didn't want to be also made it easier)

Now I don't feel right if I miss more than one day. I am thinking of joining a Yoga class on Wednesdays for the stretching, meditation, and for the nice looking ladies in there too.

That is another motivator. I found that there are some really nice looking women that I see there all the time. Sometimes it's just like a club. I've been in larger health clubs and it feels more like everyone is there, but no one is really paying any attention to anyone else, have MP3 player, will work out. Also been to "meat market" places, which are fun, but since I'm not a beefcake (yet) I always felt a little inadequate there.

Congrats!:hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. well thats cos you donated 10 of them to me!

[SPKrazy]

34. Hey, No Refunds!

I'd like to lose another 40 and be down to "fighting weight"

Still not what I weighed back in the 80's
