Fat is cool!

Fat people seem to be more spirited and friendly than skeletons... I mean thin people.

Why do women worry so much about fatness?I personally think a moderately fat woman is hotter than skelet... err, thin ones. More comfortable too, if you get the point

But of course attractiveness is not in the soul, and I ultimately prefer that. Looks are just for looks and eye interest first.

For a couple of years, I've been trying to lose a little excess weight... it was just uncomfortable.

Finding the the time and will to exercise more (and eat less), was just not happening, though.

Then I had my little procedure last month. Instantly lost some weight, obviously, but after that, I stopped drinking my diet sodas (didn't taste good) which, while maybe 'zero' calories still messes up your blood-sugar/insulin levels. So I've been drinking nothing but water, and trying to keep my stomach small by eating half of what I normally did.

I pretty much stopped snacking, too-- a gulp of ice-water usually fills my stomach enough for me to press on. Unlike my wife and daughters, I don't have to eat but once a day.

Anyway, end result-- I have averaged a loss of about a pound a day over the past two weeks.

I am finally well under 200lbs, but I'll need to keep this up for another month to get to my optimal weight...

No, I don't plan on losing thirty more pounds, but 20-25 would be nice. I will definitely have to start working out, though-- either hitting the treadmill, doing push-ups and sit-ups, or regularly riding my bike again.

I lost 55 pounds on a bet, took a year to do it. My folks said, "Dam you're a skinny bugger!"

Then the holidays rolled in and I said fudge it! I'm starving !!

People has a natural weight whether they're skinny or fat, it's your natural weight that you'll be comfortable with.

And that's the thing. For the longest time I was only slightly overweight (say ten to fifteen pounds over optimal) and I was fine with that. My body knew what my nominal weight was and more-or-less kept it there.

Then, for various reasons, I put on another ten pounds. And my body decided that it was the new norm... been fighting that ever since. If I add another 3-5 pounds, then it gets mighty uncomfortable: can't breathe well, just miserable.

So, if I can get back down to optimal, convince my body that that is the norm, then I can work toward losing the gut, maybe even build up a little muscle mass, and I will feel better about myself, et cetera.

Unfortunately, Dngrswife and one of my daughters is kind of fighting me on this... they don't want me "too skinny". I just want me comfortable in my own skin.

Only you can take care of yourself, not them.

Sorry ladies.

Ok, this should be better. Better lighting this time and first time I tried loading 16 rounds in a 15 round magazine.

Testing 1... 2... 3...

Originally I'm doing those pushups to grow more muscles (and it worked). Losing weight was a side effect I wanted to share.

Excessive to nature should be avoided as much as possible. If one's nature takes them to be fat or skinny, then that's good and respectable.

Oh, yesterday I ate a whole 900 gram grilled chicken (got it for $5.87 USD haha) plain and two 600ml bottles of water (for $0.53 USD both woohoo!). It still left me hungry, darn it. Looks like the pushups the previous day hit me seriously.

Okay now, enuf interrupting your armory talk, Celery

Is that you in the vid?

 

[cb600fshornet]

Oooh, I don't have pics... this means I didn't lose weight after all

Ah, I honestly wonder why people need a gym to lose weight. All I do is arms, legs and stomach pushups. Dunno what they are called so I'll just call them all pushups

No really, that's all I did, along with a modified Atkins diet, and I lost 5 kilos in a month. I even did those lazily, once in the morning and once at night for no more than half an hour each. I actually see most of those who go to the gym end up with no satisfactory results.

I want some Kit Kat

Alas, I'm trying to put weight ON
