SSquirrel Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 So I just started my diet changes this week (no pop, bread or sweet tea, 1 cup rice up to 3x/week and potatoes 1 meal/week) and I'm already seeing some differences! Now, over the last 2 weeks I was not following my changes, but I was paying more attention to what I was eating at least. This first week has been involving some getting rid of stuff in the house that is against the diet, but it was stuff like 3 cans of pop that were for a flavor my wife hates and half of a leftover king size Twin that was already open, and I was planning that I would be ridding the house of some things in this fashion this week, so I'm fine w/that right now. I had been thinking that some of the fat around my face was beginning to go away, but I had to shave off most of my beard to confirm that heh. Shaved down to just a goatee and mustache and I can tell that when I try to sink my head into my neck like a turtle, I get a lot less fat poking back at me and the area under and near my goatee is smaller. There is still some roundness to my face I'm expecting to lose a bit more of over time, but I'm jazzed to see some differences so quickly. Pix for your review: The hat pic was me goofing around in mid-January when I was shaving my beard. The mohawk pic was today. I know the pix are slightly different angles and the beard takes up some space, but I know how many chins I make when I scruch my neck up. Or how many I used to make anyway heh. Yeah, mohawk, Utilikilt and VFFs.

Guest welpimout Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 What is a VFF? And congrats on the changes! Link to comment
SSquirrel Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 VFF = Vibram Five Fingers. Toe shoes. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/index.htm I have a pair of Bikila's in grey/dark grey/palm green. Oh and I hopped on a scale. Sunday night it said 238.6. Now it says 232.8. I'm sure a good chunk of the difference is less sodium and pop letting water go away, but it's progress so I'll take it.

Leonine Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Progress is progress for sure! You're right, cutting out that sodium and soda will really help your body get kickstarted.

JustAStudent Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Great work! I'm sure I can see a difference between those two pictures, even with the different angle. Well done and most importantly... keep it up! Level 2 Gnome adventurerSTR 3|DEX 3|STA 5|CON 8|WIS 11|CHA 3 Challenge 2 Link to comment
