GM's thread about nothing (21 Viewers)

That dang Marine banner locks every thread for me on iPhone and have to do a refresh.

So a guy I work with was, and I stress WAS as big as I am. I started noticing he has been shrinking and finally asked him what was up. He stated that about 6 months ago he started on Weight Watchers for Men and has lost about 70lbs so far He is off his insulin and is doing great.

So to make a long story short, I am going to give this a try starting this week.

I absolutely need to do this if I want to live a long life. The problem is I absolutely love food and think I'm, scratch that, I KNOW I'm addicted.

I'm going to try this and try hard. I feel, and this is sad commentary on me, but I feel like I will need to call someone to talk me out of stopping at fast food joints on my way home from work.

I have a couple of very close friends who would absolutely take those calls and not look down on me, but it's so damn hard admitting to anyone I have a problem.

Should I tell them that I might call them for support, or man up and try to do this on my own?

GLGB and welcome!

Deviled eggs are also a fun thing to serve

They're a BLAST!

If anyone knows kids birthday parties, it's Homer

Or as I call it, speed dating.

Nothing for this, huh? Looks like I need some new material.

I've told this story many times on this board. Weight watchers is 100% legit. It's not a diet...you can eat whatever you want...it's an eating/lifestyle program that "teaches" you portion control.Initially I lost 30lbs in 3 month (195 to 165) follwoing weight watchers very strictly. After Katrina, I gained a ton of weight any got back up to 205...eventually got down to 160 via weight watchers over the course of a year or so (following it semi strict).I know you're probably laughing at this point b/c even 205 isn't ridiculous. But I absolutely love food and drinks, and I hate exercising (outside of playing sports). But WW makes weight loss easy, S.It's not hard to do...and you will feel much better for it!GLLL

Great job!Man, I'd love to get to 205. Not laughing at all, thank you for the encouragement.

The awards are pretty much based on sales/popularity. Most of the musical acts are canned and pretty lame to begin with.

Listening to you people really puts my size in perspective.I weight 150lbs. Before I started hitting the gym 18 months ago, I was 155 and that was the heaviest I've ever been.

It took me 4 months of free weights and running to drop 10 lbs to a lean 145. I've since (14 months) gained 5 lbs of muscle.

I eat peanut butter all the time. I eat steak. I eat potatoes. I eat a lot of weird bean dishes my vegetarian wife likes to cook. I never eat fast food though, and I only drink beer occasionally (though in spurts and with great zest). I've tried to gain weight faster, but outside just woofing down BigMacs, I can't. I gain maybe 1 lbs of "good" weight every 3 months or so.

It's a blessing/curse to have the metabolism of a road runner.

ETA: best of luck with it Pack. Stay disciplined.

I did them myself for 5 years or so but have a CPA now. I figure another layer of accountability/liability is more than worth the price. Plus after starting the business, I just didn't want to mess with it.

Same boat. I graduated high school at 5-11, 180, and that was playing three varsity sports with three gym classes during the day. 160 was never/is never gone happen.

2 other GMTAN related things from this weekend not associated with the zillion texts/video messages:

#1 While out at a bar with a buddy on Friday night, my buddy nudges me and says look at the blonde at the end of bar. She was gorgeous and had a great body. She was wearing a sleeveless shirt and even if I had never heard GM's skin shtick I think I still would've noticed how nice skin was. My buddy says "her body is ridiculous" and I said "She has great skin". My buddy nearly spit out his beer and said "who the hell comments on a girl's skin?" And I replied "would you believe me if I told you that I know a poor spelling albino from the internet who notices the quality of a female's skin?" He was speechless.

#2 My favorite thing about CSB commenting on anything on my FB is then all of my family and friends asking me who or what is a Cat Shirt Bob.
