I was recently having a discussion with a Personal Trainer (PT) mate of mine.
He was asking me about the changes I'd noticed with my body since losing my 230 lbs (so far)..
I told him about my 'deflated balloon belly'...
He laughed...
I told him about the 'bat-flaps' of skin under my upper arms that slap against me sometimes when I move...
He laughed...
I told him about my two sizes smaller feet...
He laughed..
The I told him about what was REALLY p*ssing me off...
My 'turkey neck'...
You see, I had a great big bullfrog type head...
Neck really...
I was one puffed-up-canetoad lookin' dude...
I mean, have a look at this -
As you can see, I've kept the beard in an effort to cover up the under-chin carry on...
Actually, that pic on the right was in October last year, so I've lost a little more from there now...
I'm in a new job now, so I'm decidedly more 'neat and tidy'..
Anyway, back to the 'roid cream thing...
My PT mate was telling me that a lot of the female body builders he knows use the 'roid cream to smooth their bits (no, not THOSE bits) when it comes to comp time...
He reckoned that if I grab a tube or two and have a crack at applying it regularly, it may just smooth and tighten my biggest uncovered embarrassment...
So, here's the sh*t -
Beginning Monday, I'll be applying the Doot Cream twice a day...
It'll be post shower in the morning and evening...
Over the weekend, I'll try to take a decent pic of the affected area...
If I can do so, I'll post it on Monday, then each Monday after I'll post updated pics to see if there's any difference...
I'll also be trying some 'neck yoga sh*t' that I just stumbled on when I googled "wobbly neck skin"...
I hope to be able to shave the beard off (or some of it) by my birthday in July (18th for all those planning gifts)...
So, if anyone is interested, stay tuned and we'll see how we go...
Of course, if anyone has already tried this, please feel free to chime in and let me know how you went...
Thanx for reading all the way to the end...
Assuming you did...
