As we get older, we all get a little bigger in the middle.... you know, that's why you are reading this now..... I guess it is inevitable..... So a new fitness center opened up near me -- so I decided to check it out.... Wow, they have some swanky new equipment -- half of them, I had no clue what they do or how you use them..... I asked the manager, "which of these machines will make me more attractive to the women?????" He pointed ----------------------------------------------------------------- to the ATM!!!!!!!!
Yup. At age 18 I weighed 164 and had a 32" waist. Today - 54 years later, I weigh 169 and have a 36" waist. I have flabbified. Yuk!
At high school graduation (1969) I weighed 160. Got a job delivering furniture for 10 years and was into martial arts. I weighed 183, had a 32" waist, 46" chest. Kept that for a long time. In 1982, I met my wife. She's an excellent cook, as are her sisters (mom owned a restaurant). Now, after 5 years living together and 30 married, I still have the 46" chest.................but now wear size 36-38 pants. Not flabby. My stomach is very firm, which makes it harder to lose. I love to eat, but now I only eat until I'm comfortable. I told my wife to cook a lower portion of meat and more veggies. She would always want me to finish mine and half of her steak. No more.
Got the point from my wife. I always like fast, so when I said I would like to go from 0 to 220 real fast she brought out the scale. Thanks dear
Yup; - My wife said that 25 years ago I looked like a Greek god; - and now I look like a god--mn Greek. Sigh...
When I married, I was young, less disposable income and a far faster metabolism. 30 years later, see beer thread, slowing metabolism and a all the food I could ever want looking more like Dad. 5o lbs over 30 years but bp is still around 120/80. Now if I could remember where I put my glasses.
I can relate to all of the previous posts, 15 years ago I weighed a little over 220, went on the Atkins diet and got down to 184. Since developing better eating habits I can stay under 200 but like the rest my friends on here the shape is a little different. Bob H.
I'm may be getting old, fat, and moving slower, but my old hot rod stude is fixin to go faster with the new 464!
160 lbs with a 34" waist. I have shrunk tho, from 5'11 to 5'9 due to back surgery. At 65 now and I wonder who the Ass was who called these the "GoldenYears"? Every morning there is a new ache. Still have my hair tho, 2 younger brothers are cue balls.
My Daughter says that I must have gotten a crew cut and the crew bailed! I no longer have a forehead, it's an eighthead.
I was visiting my friend in Staten Island many years ago...he's more the beer drinker than I am. His mother says to him: "You still wearin' those 38-fats???"
My late Father used to say (or sing).... When I was young and in my prime I used to do it all the time Now that I am old and getting gray I can only do it once a day I'm too old Too old Too old to cut the mustard any more I'm too old Too old Too old to cut the mustard any more...
