Tooting my own horn

[Beth]

I just wanted to share how proud of me I am.

Recently I lost over 265 pounds. 250 of them was from my ex, Matt. But that is another story. We'll have storytime for that another time kiddies.

I found I didn't like the way I looked. So I toyed with the idea of all the fad diets out there. But in the end, I got up off my gamer ass and started going to the gym. For the last 2 months. I have been going to the gym 5 times a week. I run, lift weights and do crunches for 2 hours a day. I cut out sweets and I don't snack. I have currently lost 15 pounds.

YEA me!

 

[GhostToast]

yay !!

 

[kwilson]

Awesome! You're going to buff like Linda Hamilton before too long.

 

[Darth_Jonas]

Cool! Work out for me too. I found out recently that just thinking about exercise doesn't get you in shape, so I'll try something else.

 

[BCampbell]

If you're lifting, you're probably getting in better shape than the pounds themselves show, since muscle weighs more than fat. Go by inches, no pounds.

Congrats!

 

[Beth]

Yeah I droped a dress size already, so I am not sure what that is in inches. I just got back...from my run and weights time to start on my crunche. *strikes a pose*

The atkins diet actually works, but good job with the gyming. I once got caught in a leg press....

 

[Beth]

....

I don't think I really want to know...do I?

 

[spudlyff8fan]

I put 700 pounds on it, and it folded me in half.

I work out on a daily basis.....Controller up, Controller Down.......And don't forget the best exercise....back before i had my bad foot.....It was the art of jumping off the couch when someone scored a touchdown on me in Xbox football games....

 

[Darth_Jonas]

Don't forget, 12 ounce curls don't count! Although I hear that SOME people enjoy jumping off kitchen counters.

 

[asylum_boy]

HAHA.....very funny.....I was too cheap to pay for real cliff diving lessons!!!.......And besides, even with only one good foot......I'm twice the athlete as most senior citizens.....Wait a minute, i'm 30, does that make me one of those too???

 

[Darth_Jonas]

I sure hope 30 doesn't count as old. I'm right behind you. But don't take the seniors too lightly. One of the many lessons Kung Fu movies teach is this: Rule Number One- Don't mess with the old man!

 

[asylum_boy]

Follow your own advice when talking to me then....LOL.....

 

[Darth_Jonas]

You don't count as old, yet. Decripit maybe.

 

[Beth]

if you are old then i am getting on in the years...as i am 25...

 

[ginaingr]

I'm proud

of you too ... you go girl lol

 

[kurruption]

pretty soon, we're going to have to start having matlock conversations and stories of how people had onions on their belts with all you old people

 

[wijg]

And how a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup is a great lunch in my book. Because we all like stuff we remember. Hey kurruption, give me 5 bees for a quarter. I have to get to Shelbyville, which was called Morganville in those days.

or just play with the Revolution controller. holding that thing at arm's length for like 5 mins will strengthen your arms in a jiffy.
