Is It True What They Say???

Figured I'd get hump day started with a question.

Is it true when they say that for every 35 pounds you lose you start showing an extra inch on the ole wedding tackle???

Amazingly enough, no one has submitted any pictures yet??!!

Well lets see.....I'm down 175 lbs give or take. That would equate to 5".....

So yeah....it's true! ;)

Unfortunately, I didn't take any "before" pics of that.

Well Butter, congrats are in order for your loss and your gain. Now you get to use both hands!!!!

Not to change the subject, but it is true, but not the way you think....truth is it has always been the same, and size does not change....it is just less exposed because of body fat....

Loose weight and you gain more of a "outie" as opposed to a "innie"

Yes it's about finding what's lurking underneath.... I used to brag about being 10" but 6" was inverted!!!

Okay I admit I haven't read the whole thread so sorry if this has been brought up. But, while it may appear we are gaining in length.... aren't we also losing in diameter? :unsure:

No one is complaining at my house.

We usually don't "complain", per se

Good for you Butter!

Not here with me. Think about it, if fat gathered there, no guy would ever want to lose weight, and we would all be hooked up to chocolate milkshake IV's.

Plus, I discovered another bonus the other day. With the stomach shrinking, there is no hill between my eyes and my better half's when.....well, you know.
