Obviously I like the fact that I'm not a big tub tub anymore. However when I lost the weight I manly did a lot of cardio so pounds just melted off. I never have been big into weightlifting or anything, because I have never been strong so it seems like a lot of work. Now that I got the number on the scale to be where I want it, I'll continue my healthy lifestyle and focus more on my appearance. If I manage to put on some muscle weight and I weigh 175, that will be fine as long as I still look and feel good. I was only constrained to the 160 number for the bet, not for the rest of my life I was fat once, and I don't ever want to go back.

 

How did you manage to lose the belly and side fat? It's a toughy for me.

Congratulations on a beautiful car. You got something that's practical with a fun factor. :-)

 

nice car.

quick question though, you said the z's were 30k invoice, what does a new g sedan cost? far as i knew i thought they were in the 30's also.

 

Damn ... that's a nice car. Your whole neighborhood must be jealous.

 

It's tough for a lot of guys including me too but you can't spot lose. If you lose enough overall you'll eventually lose it where you want to. If you also do some exercise to tone those areas it will seem tighter too but no extra loss of fat.

 

The only person here that deserves props is your dad for following through with his word. You should be healthy on your own accord and be ashamed that it took a $30k bribe to encourage better health.

 

Great job, dont put the weight back on pimpin in the G!

Congrats!
And props to your Dad for living up to his end of the bargain!

 

nice car man...but im 5'9 and 159 pounds is way too thin! Time to gain 20 or so pounds of muscle and you will look a lot better/healthier.

I went from 320 pounds to 160 and people thought I was way too think and looked a little sick. Even though I felt fine. I hit the gym, and im around 185 now and I look pretty buff, healthier.

 

Dad owns a beautiful G35. Tell him congratulations.

 

I don't understand this... isn't it the OP's car?

 

Man nice job and nice ride. Skip the people who are hating because if I had it like that I would spoil my kid a little bit as well. You and your dad made a wager, and that did what your dad set out to do. That was to give you the tools and willpower to live a healthy lifestyle. It also made you set a realistic and obtainable goal, just like going to school and getting your degree. Now don't slack off, and keep up the good work ...enjoy your ride.

I was heavy all through High School. So I know how it is. I am 6'2" 205 and it's more of a challenge to stay in shape now because I'm older but the Air Force does a great job at keeping me in shape. LOL

 

5'9" and 159 is certainly a healthy weight. I'm 5'11" and 153 lbs and I'm very healthy. You might not like that look but I do. Lean and fit.

 

don't you guys think that anything in the 150's is too much on the light side?

 

hmm, 213 - 160 = 53 lbs

and let's say the car was 30k out the door... (pure fantasy here)

so 30,000/53...

means your parents paid you roughly 566$ for every pound lost...








Jenny Craig ain't got sht on you brotha

 

Down to 160.... atleast your not a walking Super Cub load anymore eh?lol
Goodluck with your studies

 

Good Job, congratulations. What type of workouts did you do and what kind of food did you eat to lose all that weight? I'm 5' 7" (191lbs), I need to lose some weight too.

 

I'm 48 years old and a marathon runner. Weight = slow marathons. My weight has dropped to about 148 when I'm in peak form before an event.

My normal weight would otherwise be around 175 -180 and I agree looks better to the average person. (When you're a very fit distance runner it doesn't though. ) However 170's doesn't necessarily mean more healthy which is what I was originally stating. More muscular if you're buff but more healthy - no. I'm more healthy at 150.

 

Congrats, not only did your dad teach you an awesome principle in life he also stayed true to his word and that makes a great parent.
