Thanks so much for all the info guys & gals!

Where weight is concerned I'm probably a little messed up in the head.

Weight has been a life-long struggle with me, especially after I "came out".

The gay lifestyle, being the vain, ridiculous thing it is (at least in my experience) doesn't really allow for a guy to be even a little pudgy. The sad truth is, I'm not able to pull off being even a little overweight. Having my lover of 5 years break up with me in 1996 after I reached the most I'd ever weighed in my life (220 pounds) didn't help, I suppose.

Right now, I'm slightly over 5'10 and when I freaked out about my weight I weighed 204 pounds.

This morning I weighed 197 pounds, so the battle is working thus far. It'll be won when I'm back down to 175 and fighting the guys off who wouldn't look twice at me now.

Excercise works really great for me-- I can do treadmill walking and situps daily and tell a huge difference almost right away-- but I never stick with it. *sigh!*

Anyhoo, since I'm being all serious about taking this weight off-- especially with a planned meeting with Ger coming up-- I figured I'd go public. It kinda helps to discuss it....

Personally, I prefer a guy with a little meat on his bones...

well stick with it dammit!!! [Wink]

one thing thatmost people don't realize is that when you start exercising, your appetite will increase (my furnace analogy)... this is ok. The problem occurs when you stop exercising but are still trying to "maintain" a diet. Your body has become accustomed to the aereobic outlet for burning calories, so the cravings for the needed calories will remain, but the outlet is removed, that's when you get into trouble and you get those awful weight rebounds.

Stick with it Lash, diet AND exercise, they need to go hand and hand! (And if you had to get rid of one, diet is the one you should be tossing, not the exercising, even a little extra weight would be fine because you'll be teaching your body how to mold it)

My weight also fluctuates up and down thirty pounds constantly, so I go from 190 to 220 all the time. I'm 6' 0'', so it's not too bad, but I hate when I start to lose my tone. Right now, I'm just coming down from a period of being a bit fatty and starting to tone up again. Being a bouncer at a bar kind of pushes me in this direction, otherwise I'd lose my confidence at work.

I mainly do a lot of weight-lifting, especially my shoulders and arms, which helps you feel and looks slim.

Don't work your chest if your lifting weights, it will only make your chest bigger and then you'll feel fatter. Instead, do five sets of ten push-ups instead of chest workouts, and you're upper chest will get a nice toned-chissled look.

I try to run about three times a week, although I usually only do it about twice. The only fatty part of my body that is impossible to get rid of is right around my lower abs, although this is definately do to my inability to diet and my insatiable lust for lots of beer at least two to three times a week.

Hopefully, it about a month to two months time, I'll be back to the shape I'm comfortable with. After playing hockey for twelve years, college was a bit of a shock since I didn't have a constant outlet for working out, and my traditionally toned body starting to soften up. Since then, the only thing I can do is lift weights to make certain areas more muscular, run to trim my midsection and then diet four out of the seven days a week (weekends are too hard for this young man [Wink] ).

I'm currently at 192.5 lbs.

I ran on an indoor track this morning for about 30 minutes.

Lesson of the day: When you find yourself wondering, "Why'd they have to put the track way up on the fifth floor?", you know haven't been doing this enough lately.

GO, Eryk GO!!!! Congrats, man!

I just had a salad, and that's all I'll eat today (except for a small bowl of rasin bran cereal later-- it's loaded with fiber!)

No fear, Drakey... this weight is HISTORY baby!! And I'll spam this website with the photos to prove it when the time arrives! [Wink] [Wink] [Wink] [Wink]

Some progress noted this evening: Had not one but TWO drinks purchased for me by an anonymous gentleman (which is quite a feat here-- the broke-ass cads in Memphis NEVER do that!!) and was asked if I was a hairdresser (gay speak for "I like your hair!" No matter my weight, I've always had good hair!)

Can't wait to see what happens 20 pounds from now...!

Forgot to eat my bowl of cereal... drank a glass of 2% milk instead...

Well, the sad truth is, I get more attention the smaller I am.

Or maybe it's the ridiculous vintage outfits I can wear when I'm smaller. Whatever works. [Big Grin] [Wink] [Smile]
