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...

Righto you lot, here's the sh*t...

I promised pics and now I'm coming good...

Pic 1 -

Taken from the right hand side of my head...

Pic 2 -

The view from below...

Pic 3 -

From the front...

Apologies for the nose hair...

And the average looks...

As you can see, there's considerable flappage...

I imagine that it'll become more and more like a turkey neck as the weight continues to come off (if I can kick this f**king stall!!!!)

Anyway, if anyone else has any theories, let me know and we can experiment with them too...

Of course, I'd prefer the theories were based in some sort of fact rather than just something you'd like to see me smear on my face...

Right, you lot are sleeping so I'm gonna go and enjoy the place while it's pleasant...

See ya!!!

Oh yeah...

I'm a kinda hairy dude...

And yes, I was sans clothes when taking these pics...

Enjoy!!!!

@@KindaFamiliar - morning!

You don't need to apologize for anything, you are AWESOME!

@@jane13

Hahahahaha...

I don't get it, but thank you nonetheless...

@@KindaFamiliar, you were making apologies for the nose hair and the average looks on post #92.

I have nose hair and average looks, so no judging on looks from me :]

So totally not needed (apologies)

And again, you are awesome!

Oh stop it @@jane13

You'll make me blush...

@@KindaFamiliar is that the reason for the pink glow coming across the Atlantic?

It's certainly possible @@jane13

@@KindaFamiliar Ooh, we finally get some real pics I see! Good job on the follow-through.

And I have to agree with @@jane13 - stop apologizing. There is nothing wrong with you.

Yes, I see that there is some loose skin - but I'll tell you what, IMHO, loose skin is a whole lot more attractive than skin filled out with tons of fat. :-) so, you're looking better and better! There's nothing wrong with you in the looks department. you're still in that stall? what are we going to do about it?

Thank you so much @

The love and support that is shared here is something special...

It is much appreciated and much wanted...

And yes, I thought I'd best come good with what I'd promised...

I was sick of being picked on like the fat kid so I thought I'd do something about it...

@@Christinamo7

Again I'm humbled by a response...

Thank you for your kind words...

The stall is killing me...

Well, not really...

But it's pissing me off...

Next week will be liquids week in an effort to change things...

Of course, that week will be well documented here somewhere...

No doubt you'll tune in to witness my descent into a carb depletion based stupor...

oh that's right. you did say next week. See, I have a very short attention span so I need for you to keep repeating your - oh look, a rabbit.

I, for one expected nothing less. Ha! I guess there wouldn't be anything "less" (clothing-wise) would there???

FYI: I think I have you beat in the flap department. I can actually hear my waddle hitting the side of my head on a windy day.

I'm going into hiding come Thanksgiving. (Novemember, Mate).

@@Valentina

You do talk some jibber-jabber...

But you're supportive and entertaining...

Keep it up!!!
