Croaker Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hello there, I'm Croaker. Lady and I are finally getting married next year. We set a date of October 1st. The problem here is I am carrying around too much weight especially around the middle. When Lady and I met and we fell in love I had a physical job working out side. Fast forward 5 years and I now work in a laboratory (go Croaker for leveling up in life.) The downside is I work in a Laboratory and get no physical exercise. So I have been ballooning from a nice 170 -180 to 230-240. I started fixing my diet back in January and have been doing pretty good at it. I dropped down to 217 just by eating better. The problem is I have hit a diet plateau so to speak. I could tweak my diet more but I am pretty happy with it as it is. I eat plenty of vegetables and some fruit. I eat lean meats like fish and chicken for lunch and dinner is usually vegetarian or has little meat in it. As for grains, I have celiac disease so those are fairly restricted as it is. I do eat granola in the morning and a serving of cookies as a snack. Other than that we are looking at rice and occasional gluten free baked goods. Like I said my diet is pretty good. As for exercise I have started doing the NFYoga. Other than that I have zero exercise in my life. In the past I have enjoyed doing body weight training and I did lift weights when I was in college(I hated lifting weights...) All of that being said "I want to look Sexy as F*CK" for my wedding photos next year. Lady is a professional model so she always looks good and puts a great deal of effort into that. She goes to the gym several times a week, walks everywhere and eats really well... unless she is on a candy binge. Just as importantly I want to look Sexy as F*CK for her. Yes, yes there are better reasons to improve my health and well being, but this is what has me motivated. I want her to be proud to be seen with me. I want to have people look at us and think what a nice couple they are, not how the hell did he get her? So, I am looking for what to do to exercise and kick up my weight loss and of course look Sexy as F*CK. Thanks for paying attention folks.Croaker. P.S. I am a 28 year old male 5'11" 217 pounds with full medical clearance from my doctor to physically do anything I want. My diet was worked on by a dietitian so any major changes will be run by her. 1 Quote I'm an incurable romantic. The essence of romance is an unshakable conviction that next time will be different.

shaggy Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Congratulations on the wedding! That's some pretty solid motivation and I hope you'll succeed. I definitely think you should get back into the bodyweight strength work if that's what you've enjoyed in the past. Maybe give yourself some progression goals for pushup/pullup/squat variations to get back into it. Good luck on the journey! -Shaggy Quote Link to comment
TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Congrats on your wedding I have to say I somewhat understand the feelings you're talking about. My boyfriend looks really fit, especially since he used to do a lot of physical labor for work (lifting full refrigerators and like appliances alone, dragging pallets of groceries, ect) so he's super strong. He's also 6'3" and he's very thin. I on the other hand am about 5'6" and am very hippy. I've been getting dirty looks from people when walking around with him the entire four years+ we've been together. I'd like to earn them by people thinking I'm pretty than because they don't think I'm good enough. So kudos to you and remember that your fiancee loves you as you are- your opinion comes first but as far as other people's opinions, let hers be high on your priority list. It was easier for me to start getting healthy (and dealing with the harder times in it) knowing my bf believed I was beautiful no matter what.
