Default Super Hardcore weight reduction!

Hehe not on the car. As of yesterday when I weighed myself...I've lost over 70 lbs! Screw the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Its been a decade since I've felt this good! Shooting for an even 100lbs...I only lose a couple of pounds a week..sometimes more sometimes less (depends on how much working out I get to do). Anyways...its by far the best weight reduction mod I could have done <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ! Just thought I'd share...I'm sorta proud, I've been able to stick to my guns with it. Dang sure doesn't hurt the raceweight either <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Go for the 100 lbs, should be about a tenth. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Way to go Larry! You're trying to lose and I'm trying to gain. LOL! That's awesome that you've been able to shed that much weight. Nothing makes you feel quite as nice as getting in shape! Keep up the great work, and give us a before and after pic when you hit 100 lbs.! The last time I saw you was last October at HRP.

Thanks guys!

All I did was give up fast food, and things like cokes. Still don't exercise as much as I should, but I try and get in as much as my time permits.

If I don't prepare it...I don't eat it, and I try to drink lots of water. Really trying to change my lifestyle in hopes that I won't be one of those "rebound" cases...and not be able to squeeze paste my doorbar into my raceseat next winter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
