Want to watch a fat man pretend to exercise?

Well, every diet story needs a Before and After shot.

Here's the before: me embarking on a two-month exercise regimen, or at least two months of making feeble movement and calling it exercise.

I'm... not going to watch it beyond giving a quick look.

However!

Good on ya! Everybody starts somewhere. When I first met her, my fiancee weighed 360+ pounds and couldn't walk 100 yards without having to sit and catch her breath. She's dropped almost 200 of that and can now jog indefinitely.

So, to you I say, Keep at it! You CAN do the Thing^TM!

Go for it! In college, I used to be an FAA person (6ft tall, 180 pounds). Contents have settled a bit during shipping since then.

(You know, I had that exact pattern of paneling in our mobile home we lived in for ten years)

5514896 Thing is, even when I could count my own ribs, I've never been less than 180 or so in my adult life, and I've always had a pot-belly. After the MRI showed my split abdominal wall a couple years back, I'm wondering how far back that went and whether that explains it, but anyway.

According to Wii Fit, my ideal weight is 155 lbs. I think I was fourteen the last time I was that weight- and, again, that was in count-the-ribs, skinny-as-hell-except-for-the-pot territory.

I can count my ribs, provided there's not too much BBQ sauce on them. Love being in Kansas.

(Watching the video. I haven't been able to touch my toes with legs straight since grade school. I have short tendons.)
