I am also an OU alum (a few of us here) I lost 60lbs earlier this year and am putting some of it back on in the gym. Most common question, How did you do it? When I reply, the most common response, I could never give that up, or I could never do that…fine, stay out of shape then, no skin of my nose. And of course now that I am working hard in the gym I have to hear the " be carefull, that muscle will turn to fat" speach.
I’m not sure what we’re all talking about, since it was too much effort to read the post, but I’m sure I’ll agree 
Drew, if you ever get up to OKC on a weekend night, let me know. The DJ at Night Trips is one of my best friends, and the place is rockin’. I wear my Testosterone T-shirt there and get lots of good attention.
