I've been trying to get a razor down there mostly.

Razors are dangerous. Try hair removal cream?

I may need a hand.

That's true, we also have pubes .. at least those of us who don't shave them.  What about you Cathy?  Do you shave, trim or let it all grow out?

She shaves them

(why do I remember that?!?)

Anyway, good luck whatevs!

I'll give you a hand if you promise to give me the cream

I don't need to lose weight, but I'll make sure to keep necroposting this for monthly updates. Have you considered doing a sport? Exercise is easiest when it's fun.

I'm totally down to be health buddies. I'm almost exactly where you are (or were), 6 feet, about 240. Now, I'm pretty broad, have a little bit of muscle, and I don't really bulge anywhere, so 240's not a big strain on my frame. I was as heavy as 275 though, in about my sophomore year of college and again when I got really bad shin splints during my second year of law school and couldn't run/jog for six months (which, roughly, corresponded to the two worst depressions I've ever been in). I've worked out a lot (comparatively), and it's been slow going to get back down to under the good ol' eighth-ton. I don't have any particular weight loss goals other than to keep losing; I suppose I should make one: I would like to get to 225 by the end of the year, with some more muscle. There we go. Solid goal.

Eating wise, I've got some reallllllll bad habits. I've definitely made some progress: I no longer get any calories from drinks except beer and the half-milk half-coffee concoction I drink that offends both milk and coffee lovers. I'm eating a small breakfast every morning (about 250 calories, usually granola bar and banana or sommat). But I'm still really prone to ordering wayyy too much (or, that is, the right amount by mass but all fried and fatty and gross) when I'm out at a restaurant or bar.

My next big step will be to walk the mile-and-a-half to work once the weather gets nice. That'll really help, I think. I said, of course, the same thing last year, and by the time I realized the weather was nice enough to walk, it was already too hot to walk in a suit and tie. So... try try again.

Yep, keep losing.  I'm down with that.  But I have another goal and that is to make the process something I'd be happy to live with forever.  With the money I'm saving by not eating out or buying snacks I have no problem splurging on great fruit, veggies and meat, along with taking the time to prepare great meals.  

That you've been doing this and losing weight while you're working .. major props to you.

Well I'm pretty content to do a lot of walking with the dogs and gardening.  I've got a knee issue at the moment that is cramping my style, first one of my life.  I'm still walking every day but I'd be doing more if I wasn't afraid of making it worse.  The weight loss can only help that knee out of course.  I used to play some basketball, skateboard and a wee bit of climbing .. strictly small time but you're right, the exercise just happens when you're having a good time.  Dancing is like that too.  Might have to add it to my routine.

I think I've mentioned this before, but I generally assume all atheist women shave downstairs and groom it into the 'Hitler mustache' configuration.
