Back in my pre mortgage,divorce,child support days it was macanudo's or las cabrillas. Now, backwoods or a half of the light bodied no-name branded cigars I've had in my humdore that I bought years ago. Ever since I dropped a ton of weight I can't smoke a whole cigar unless I smoke it real real slow. Slow to the point I…

OP, you're gonna have a hard time finding a man your age who is in as good as shape as you. Date younger. :) The women I see on the sites who are over 40 that seem irate over men they don't consider attractive contacting them (and complain about it on their profile) are shallow.

YEP! I've never stopped losing weight no matter how low I went.

This. forget about the lbs themselves & focus on percentage of body weight lost. Obese people can drop huge amounts of weight initially without ill affects. OP after a few weeks (depends on the person) you will probably start to feel like crap. If you want to eat that low do it correctly & look up PSMF from Lyle McDonald.…

Dannon Light & Fit - Greek Nonfat Yogart, Vanilla, 1 cup 130 cals. Taste great plain but i usually mix in frozen blueberries & maybe some PB or vanilla whey depending on my macs by the evening.

The people there seem friendly enough & I've seen employee's showing people different machines. Tons of machines. Tons of cardio equipment also. They also have people there to help you design a workout plus the machines show which muscles they work. I just wanted a place to do legs. My little bench at home with the leg…

Well, How heavy did you get? I'm 41, hit the 100lb lost mark last yr & my belly button actually closed up from the sag. LOL! I've put on some muscle but also fat since then & dropping fat again and every week it's sagging again. It happens. The only thing you can really do short of surgery is to get lean & stay lean & give…

Take measurements. I went 3 weeks once without the scale budging yet lost an inch off my waist. Then one day I woke up 4lbs lighter & the scale started dropping. One theory is your fat cells, when they empty fill with water instead of shrinking & hold that water before finally giving it up. Hence the scale barely changes…

1/2 cup of Almond milk as creamer with my half a pot of coffee.

If I'm not hungry by bedtime but still have cals I just go to bed. I consider it a bonus deficit. One day of bigger than normal deficit isn't going to cause you any harm.

I get the extreme opposite. Mine goes into turtle mode. And as for the nipples, the guys there to work out are either not going to notice or not care. The guys there to hook up (you know who they are) unfortunately will be looking. Me, I admit I was watching someone in the gym the other night while on the treadmill. It was…

I'm not getting any bigger on a deficit that is for sure but people swear I look bigger because they can see muscle definition & that's because I've been lifting since I decided to drop the fat. I do sometimes see a strength gain here & there depending on how small a deficit I'm running & how long I'm on it but for the…

HAHA! I just noticed this.

Theme from Alpha's. My ex-wife's theme is Darth Vader's imperial March. LOL!

This weather is still being a tease. Also, new Planet Fitness opened up in Amherst on Maple behind Red Robin. Cheap membership & right now the place is dead. Even if it picks up they have so much equipment there.

I thought this was about the area code. LOL!

Body fortress brand from walmart. Vanilla flavor. I usually just mix a scoop with my greek yogurt.

Lifting isn't my problem. Cutting the calories to drop that last bit of fat is. It's like I have to go full blown cardio bunny mode or limit myself more than ever. And i'm not even trying for that 6-pack now. I just want the last of my moobage to go away for the summer. LOL!

FINALLY! I think we are a go!

One week.

This. What's the point of killing yourself if you are going to eat those cals back? Calories burned from regular daily cardio & exercise really isn't going to amount to all that much. Use them as a bonus fat burn. Also the problem with eating back calories is, are you REALLY burning THAT many from exercise? I seriously…

Squats & lunges. I carried a lot of fat in my lower body & have loose skin on my inner thighs. Thankfully as a guy I can wear swim trunks to the beach & the rest of my legs look strong.

Hey man, 41 here. Way to go & I hear you on them two ab muscles. this is the point where it always slows down for me.

2nd-ed! I dropped 100lbs, shopped at thrift stores, re-donated, claimed on my taxes. Profit. Lots of good high quality hardly worn stuff on those racks. Also OP, women tend to store fat on their backside so that is the last place it will fall off so don't get discouraged.

Has it finally broken? Are we done seeing snow?

Few weeks ago.

I used to agree with this statement but i've hit that point where the fat loss is SLOOOOWWWWW with just lifting unless I do some cardio a few days a week. Even if I eat back my cals (as best as I can figure) I still seem to drop the fat quicker.

THIS! If I didn't lift while I lost 100lbs I can promise I wouldn't be stretching the sleeves & chest on my polo's while they are baggy on the waist. Those shirts would be baggy everywhere.

I really can't stand it when they don't answer my calls & don't call back. total deal breaker for me.

My OCD is cleaning. If I do it. LOL! I can't just give things a quick cleaning. I have to get every nook & cranny & sometimes i'll stop cleaning & do some touch up painting and spend a whole fricken day on a room. My house has two extreme's: People ask me if I've been robbed or they wonder which magazine it's going to be…
