  1. 6'4" wow! That is pretty awesome! I have an employee who is 6'10" and is about as big around as a pencil. Being a short guy it always blows me away to see someone tall.
  2. If you are trying to keep this a secret then go but tell them that your stomach is a bit off. Granted that is because 80% of it is gone but no one needs to know about that.
  3. On behalf of men everywhere, we need proof!
  4. I bought my current belt from Springfield Leather Company. It is heavy duty, very well made, and not expensive - unless, of course, you compare it to bonded leather belts costing $15.00 or so. As I mentioned above, my belt carries several articles on a daily basis that require a strong and well made belt. You can get one for about $50 or so. Tactical style belt, heavy objects... I get the funny feeling that we both have a similar style belt for similar reasons!
  5. With all of the boobies talk I have to get back in here! Wouldn't the piercings constantly rubbing on clothing or bras keep your nipples stimulated all of the time at first but then loose sensitivity?
  6. My wife says that it is because of my highly developed skills that has come from many hours of practice on her! You mean you rub oil on her and tie her legs together too? Actually, yes! A motel room, massage oil, drapery cord (it's soft) and a tarp makes for a great time! I am so thankful for your wife's sake that it does not include stuffing (the bread kind; be nice with your reply). Kinky is using a feather, perverted is using the whole dang turkey!
  7. Get a Gatorade type of drink and eat protein just before and after your walking. This will help those muscles tremendously!
  8. I refuse to get another belt until I'm done because I'm very picky with my belts. I've already burned through the 4 holes that I didn't use previously and I've drilled an additional 3 holes. My belt wraps all of the way around the side of me and the tip tucks into the belt loop behind my pocket.
  9. I'm not pierced so I don't know much about it but it amazes me that after being pierced for two years that they tried to close up so quickly.
  10. My wife says that it is because of my highly developed skills that has come from many hours of practice on her! You mean you rub oil on her and tie her legs together too? Actually, yes! A motel room, massage oil, drapery cord (it's soft) and a tarp makes for a great time!
  11. At your current weight you are in the "normal" bmi range (according to your stats on the left). The goal of 178 is still an obese 27.9. If I can get lower that would be awesome but to be built like my cousin would make me quite happy.
  12. Nope. What is true is that you will have to take it slow and chew completely.
  13. A big difference in your chest and stomach. You're looking good!

  15. That is the beauty of the Orion, you don't have to use the wood and it will still cook beautifully.
  16. Wow! Amazing! With me being heavy all of my life is is such an unreal concept to lose even the weight that I have so the thought of trying for a goal of 134 pounds in 11 months seems completely insane!
  17. Your method isn't nearly as entertaining though!
  18. I had to increase my calories because I was too low too. I was 450-550 calories a day. I changed up my diet to have bacon or sausage for breakfast and the higher calorie meal first thing really helped my energy. I also set an alarm on my phone for 4pm daily to have a snack. My snack is usually 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and a tbsp of sugar free jam. I feel much better and I'm still losing at a steady rate.
  19. Nice work! I noticed your comment about fatty food. I've been doing low carb and low sugar. It seems to be working well. I actually needed to increase my calories and I started doing that with bacon or sausage for breakfast and I'm losing at a steady rate. What I'm saying is that you may not have to fear protein based fats.
  20. Thanks Babbs! I had my cousin here and he is the size that I would like to be. He is 5'7" and 178 pounds. He is currently wearing 32x30 pants and a medium to large shirt depending on the manufacturer. I am also wearing 32x30 pants and I want to be on a large shirt. Obviously I will have excess skin is I won't look as good as he does but it did get me thinking. I don't know if it is possible but it would be awesome to get to that point by my birthday which is in the end of July but that would be losing 134 pounds in 11 months which sounds insane! Don't get me wrong, I will work like crazy to get there but I'm trying to figure out if that is an unrealistic goal because I would have to average 1.9 pounds per week over the next 33 weeks.
