Results Post #1
Fifteen pounds lighter, and it’s only been a month (maybe a little more?). The pants I bought that were too tight before I started going to the gym are now a bit saggy, and my ass feels so muscular I can’t help but rub it all day - which only compounds my signature awkward mystique. I’m not sure anyone but me can see the results with their eyes, though they clearly see that I have a sore ass.
I’m not giving it the most astringent effort, so my results surprise me a little. My goal is eventually to fit back into my “hot” pants purchased in late 2006 when I was 25ish pounds lighter than I currently am. My hag forced me to buy them from the Guess! store for the high, high price of $85 because she said they looked so… “hot.” Also so that, for the rest of my life, she can make fun of me for spending $85 on a pair of jeans. I will wear them until every last thread is rotten. I know, the gayer among you are scoffing, “only $85?! what kind of cheap white trash faggot are you?!” I am the kind who couldn’t shop in the Guess! store until 2006. I think I only wore them a handful of times, so they have miles and miles to go. Until then, they’re mothsmeat, so I need to hurry.
I’m going to post some measurements here mostly because I’m too lazy to start some kind of workout diary when all of 5 of you read this anyway. Apparently, according to the Greeks, who were quite familiar with the hotness, these are my ideal measurements, slightly rounded (they are bold, my current measurements are in italics):
chest: 48.75, 48
hip: 41, 43
bicep: 17.5, 14.25
forearm: 14, 12
thigh: 26, 25.5
calf: 16, 17.5
neck: 18, 18
Keep in mind that there is a muscle-versus-fat level involved in these measurements, or more specifically, their ideal guy is muscular at these measurements and I am really not at mine. Except my calves, they are meaty. Either way, I feel a little more optimistic after having taken these and compared. Maybe I don’t have such a long way to go.

How quickly my excitement turned to disappointment at that Greek link when I realized they’d base my ideal measurements on wrist circumference. I gotta figure the Greeks have me pegged for a pre-pubescent girl. Possibly Asian.
So I’m slender of limb. Sue me, but I don’t think a healthy 6′1″ man can have a 27 inch waist.
This post did nothing for MY body issues, but mazel tov on your firm buttocks.

15 pounds in one month? That’s pretty impressive!
Though I’m hoping the “hot pants” are not hotpants, if you know what I mean.
Or maybe I’m hoping they are. Depends on the “firm buttocks.”

15 pounds in one month is actually kind of insane. Almost four pounds/week? I’ve been trying to lose the same four pounds since January. Three to go.
