Default How I'm looking- DOWN from 300lbs!! (pic)

Hey guys sorry there is no before pic. I'm eventually going to scan my work ID from when I weighed 300+lbs to show you a before.

This is how I'm looking now! I just got into size 36 jeans for the first time! They are snug but hey I got them buttoned!!! I'm still weighing around 230 but I'm hoping to be around 200 by January. I'm still building a lot of muscle and slowly shedding the fat.

Heh, thanks for the replies. All women too! yay!

Its so weird feeling attractive to women again! I find myself being much more outgoing and flirty. I better be careful because it might make me get in trouble with my gf!!

My gf lost over 100lbs on WW before we met so we have a lot in common. Is it bad that I find myself wanting to come on to other women? I cant tell if this is just a result of my new found freedom of sexuality or that I'm a horndog!! I do love my gf though. Any of you felt the same after losing weight?

Hey you are a "healthy" looking guy !! Easy one the eyes !!
But hey I can say that, and it's not considered a flirt, cause I'm way older then you!

Seriously you have done great, you should be very proud of yourself

cheers Kathy

Be happy with yourself, and enjoy the new you. I find myself flirting more too, but I have been single for seven years. I felt ugly so long, it just feels good to look better and get flattering attention. It's natural to want to play it up a bit, but do be very careful not to cross boundries. I'd hate for you to miss out on a great relationship with your gf because of an ego boost.

You look great! I think it is normal to enjoy the attention of the opposite sex, especially if you haven't had much of it lately. I notice such a difference in the way I'm treated by men now. I'm happily married but I'm not dead and it's a ego boost to know that you are attractive to someone.

Thanks for all the replies.

Just to update on my diet. I'm not on a strict Atkins any more. I stalled for awhile even going on induction. What helped me get going? Oatmeal! I kep my diet mostly low carb but started having around 1/2cup oatmeal in the mornings. It gave me tons of energy for my workouts and got my weight loss started again.

Right now I'm taking something called the Anarchy stack. Its simply a stack off supps tailored to speed loss naturally. You can read about it on bodybuilding sites.

Acetyl L-Carnitine
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
Green Tea

I'm also taking SAN-tight and ephedra(not every day though cuz its powerful stuff!)

LOL there's nothing wrong with being flirty, as long as your real intentions are clear and it doesn't get too far, ie: physical, or leading into emotional attatchment with a flirt partner - at least those are my lines to not cross.

I love the attention I get now and *sometimes* milk it for all I can get Flirting is one of the great joys in life. Enjoy it often, just don't deprive your girlfriend of your charms - she needs attention too. I think sometimes it is easy to get carried away using our sexual powers to turn on other people for our self esteem and then forget to give our partners the same gift.

You look GREAT btw!

Meg

It's natural to like being noticed. And you look very good! Just don't get a swelled head because your body shrank, and remember your gf deserved lots of attention too.
