How much did you lose initially?
Looking sick dude! Nice and lean, athletic. You say you’re 6’4, you’re the ideal… everything for what most girls my age look for!
I like you’re tattoos, I’ve noticed you’ve got a phrase in Hebrew written on you’re arm. Are you Jewish? (I am)
I have two questions about tattoos, but can’t ask them on here as it’s off topic, would you mind if I tag you somewhere else to ask?
You can go to my log or tag me somewhere else.
I’m not Jewish. I am a Christian. I got the tattoo when Chinese symbols were all the rage here in the US. I got this because it was different. I also did it after a close friend of mine left for the Marines. He has it, too.

I dropped 3 or 4 pounds pretty quick. Then I crept back up to my original weight. Now I’m slowly coming back down. This is all while eating as much red meat as I can put down. I also was still eating dairy for the first month, but I’ve cut that out. What’s probably more interesting than my weight is my blood pressure. I just checked it and it was 98/76. That means my systolic is down about 25mm and my diastolic is down about 10mm. It’s lower than it was in my early 20s. All while eating very large amounts of salt.
Comments like that are ideally accompanied by a progress pic of your own, yeah?
Although he’s not the only one on these boards who does this well, I don’t think I’ve encountered someone more adept than @Chris_Colucci at writing out solid, evidence-based fitness advice. He manages the clown circus of this fitness forum with polite authority and humor, and doesn’t call anyone out without offering clear rationale. He is well liked and well respected. Some fitness professionals are just really smart people who are interested in fitness.
I would also guess that if Chris were to enter into a “fitness” competition with his kids’ friends’ dads, he’d win easily.

This is one of the nicest “definitely a compliment but also kinda doesn’t sound like a compliment” I’ve ever received. Thank you.

I definitely didn’t mean it to sound like “as far as looks go, you’ve got a great personality!” thing. I think it’s obvious that you engage in fitness and I also think it’s obvious that you’re exceptionally knowledgeable about the topic. We all have to balance our various goals and you’ve been very honest about that piece, too, as well as showing up for all of these check-ins and posting relaxed pose pictures. You may be the only one who does!

Can you tell from my avatar that I wear an X-LARGE? wink, wink
(if you want, I can email you a pic…)
No, just show up at my house unexpectedly without any clothes on after telling me how much you hate me a half dozen times. Then I’ll be able to report back to the gang that you’re exactly who you say you are when you indicate that you’re a souped up version of @flipcollar.
That’ll be a lot easier for both of us than just posting a pic here.

I wonder if he still browses the forums looking for mentions of his name, and if he feels triumphant when people still mention him.

I love how kids spell things as they understand them phonetically. ‘Copptishis’

Kids spell like people talk when they drink.
Last year me and the wife would laugh and read my kiddos homework like “Drunk History”. (not in his presence)
His spelling is way better but not nearly as funny this year.

My uncle put the lettered candles on my birthday cake as “Pharty Dipy Bah” when I was younger. It was on purpose, but it’s become a family tradition. At the right moment, I find misspellings pretty hilarious sometimes.
My sister had a spelling quiz last week. Was told to write “marble” so, naturally, wrote the very commonly used word “barble.”
Makes sense.
I liked it when my son learned about the silent “E” and began adding it to everything. lol

Unfortunately, I have to update my post. I’m no longer down a pound. As of this morning, I’m up three pounds. I really like bread.
