Quoted from Elfman:or me it is about the carbs. I had to give up beer about a year and a half ago. Moved to liquor (and dropped almost all carbs from my diet) and lost 70 pounds.
Fyi for people who think liquor is the way to go.
Fat = 9 calories per gram
Alcohol = 7 calories per gram
Protein = 4 calories per gram
Carbs = 4 calories per gram
1 fluid oz. of booze = 29.5735 grams
80 proof or 40%(average estimate) = 11.829 grams of alcohol
=
82.8 calories
Quoted from RobT:I've put on a few pounds too. Do I look fat in this picture? I feel like a pig.
Oh no not at all, you look gorgeous 
Quoted from TheLaw:What the hell are calories? Actually, they aren't anything...that's why I don't trust them
That's because you know how Atkins works! 
Quoted from TheLaw:For years I was able to go from 148-work, to 151-easy.
Quoted from RobT:Good to know. I'm about 175.
If you guys are worried about these numbers, better check yer gender. At 190, I'm slim.
Quoted from TheLaw:I'm 5'10 WITH the hair.
5' 11" I have hair too, but it doesn't add any height.
Quoted from o-din:If you guys are worried about these numbers, better check yer gender. At 190, I'm slim.
If you say so, fatty.

Bet you can't just have one.
~83 calories doesn't sound like much, but that ish adds up when you're pouring doubles in a snifter or over ice and go through three to four drinks no problem.

I hear that. I lost some weight in the last two years at 189 I looked sick. I am back to 210 and happy. At one point I was 268. I'm 6"'1"

Do I look fat? Not that I pay much heed. I like food and booze. But really don't consume much beer any more.
Quoted from centerflank:It should work out quite well.

A few pounds are one thing, but man having this much weight is unhealthy to say the least.

I love the plate of cookies just outside the woman's reach to the right of her bed.
edit-isnt that Jamarcus Russell?
I had a friend that was an EM. He said that they got a call about an obese lady having a heart attack. Actually it was just a fork trapped in her roles of fat that she rolled over on in her bed.

Well, cmon odin, if I had a nickel every time that happened, I could afford a MOPLE getting flipped.

Thats called arm exercises^ gotta keep limber.

Luckily I am not eating.
I always wonder how when using the toilet, it must be murder on them. (shudder the thought)

You want me to tell you the one about the lady that was putting on eyeliner while driving?
Quoted from o-din:You want me to tell you the one about the lady that was putting on eyeliner while driving?
Yes, please do!
Quoted from o-din:I just did! That and the fact she didn't notice the car at the red light in front of her.
No fun pic or video?
Quoted from centerflank:No fun pic or video?
Yeah your keeping us in suspense.
Centerflank,
Thanks for sharing the pic, but it looks like she's doing the work part of the workouts, and you're still standin there with your normal confused look on your face.
It's gonna be epic here on Pinside when you post a photo taken of you working out in pink tights wearing high heel shoes.

I work out naked, but here is a real pic of my wife, she was upset I dont post pics of her in skimpy outfits, I tried to explain how many perverts on pinside there are, but she is proud of herself.

Did you make that pic as small as possible before posting it just to tease the perverts???
You guys had me up late last night. You ever make a pot of coffee, but forget to put the decanter in place? Well, I just did. 
Quoted from o-din:You guys had me up late last night. You ever make a pot of coffee, but forget to put the decanter in place? Well, I just did.
Haha, I woke up at 7am to get the kids off to school, fell asleep on the couch at 8 and woke up@1230! LOL! looks like another late night of pinside wackiness tonight!
I also did that coffee trick once 
Actually getting back into pinball helped to motivate me a little.....those things are HEAVY.
But that's the problem....I started lifting again but still don't do cardio......hate cardio.
So now I weigh about the same as I did when I was fatter (5'9" about 185lbs) but I did manage to convert a lot of that fat weight into muscle. Still need to lose about 15lbs and keep the muscle.
People have noticed the change, so I joke that I WIP'd myself into shape.....that's Weights, Ice Cream and Pizza.
Quoted from centerflank:looks like another late night of pinside wackiness tonight!
Yeah buddy wouldnt be the same ^ if it wasnt wacky.
Quoted from o-din:This hobby is making you drunker, more drunkkre.....
Quoted from TheLaw:Never had Carl's!
They are local, been around for a long time. I think they have merged with Hardees. Lately
they have been selling more than just burgers.

Right I was in Cali once, but I think I only ate Del Taco...which wasn't horrible, but no Taco Bell.
Now up north in Seattle at Mr. Taco....just embarassing...no idea what a taco is.
Quoted from TheLaw:but I think I only ate Del Taco...which wasn't horrible, but no Taco Bell.
Del Taco is far superior to Taco Bell, but we have so many real Mexican outlets around here, sometimes it's hard to choose.
Quoted from o-din:...but we have so many real Mexican outlets around here, sometimes it's hard to choose.
That's usually where the breakdown begins. I don't give a shit aboot "real Mexican" places; I like Taco Bell.
All around where I am is full of bored white "foodies." If you don't like a place, it's because "you don't like authentic XXXX food." What I like, is food that tastes like something; or "flavor" as the masters call it. I've eaten a lot of "Mexican" food in Texas that was awesome but I guess that's "Tex-Mex" so it doesn't count.
Anyway...maybe I don't like the "authentic taste," of Mexican food? But what could be more Mexican than tasteless food slathered with Chinese Parsley?
Quoted from o-din:so many real Mexican outlets around here, sometimes it's hard to choose.
Not hard for me to choose.
