    Agreed, but I think we would all agree that the 30% helps everyone with
    their health, well being, and self esteem. We're pushing 40 and want to
    feel like we're pushing 30... and act like we're 25.

    Just my opinion!!!

    My friend--with all due respect. As gorgeous as she is should be motivation in and of itself. So, I strongly reccomend - you put down the fork and get your butt to a gym--quick. You do not want to lose this bet.....Good luck!

    OK ... now we are in on this. We want to see him in the outfit you pick. That is worth providing you some free online virtual training.

    Hey! I'm down 40 or so in 9 weeks and am promising you this, you don't need
    Much of a fork for 1200-1500 Cal per day.

    Only have 12.8 to go as of this morning after my extra hour of cardio.
    My main workout is still tonight with her after work.

    I like your spunk though... I'm sure looks aren't important at hedonism in a sense, but it is for us.... especially as we lose more!

    We've also been in the workout mode, atleast a little. I've made the effort to get on the eliptical atleast every other morning, sometimes everymorning, for 20min. and we have a weight bench. Been lifting a little weight. Nothing excessive. I haven't been changing my diet, just trying to burn it off.
    This is something I want to keep doing even after getting back from Hedo. We have the eliptical and weight bench downstairs so I may as well make use of it and I feel better afterwards.

    Nothing excessive here either.

    Down to 5x per week. Oddly enough, my wife's clothing order came in the mail today for her costumes and my favorite costume was there.

    Looks like any more weight loss is just gravy... 18 days.

Hedo is among the best motivators that we can think of to stick with a good regiment - Our mantra when we're staring down that last mile on the elliptical is "Naked on a beach - Naked on a beach - Naked on a beach" (watching porn while working out helps wonders in this regard ).

    The kick in the pants is this - when you get there, you're going to realize that the way that people look is nowhere near as important as how people act. From past trips we saw perfect hardbodies who were completely aloof / pretentious and ended up spending most of their time alone on the prude side. The vast majority of Hedonites have slightly less than 'perfect' bodies, but they're the folks who were outgoing, non-judgmental, and fun to be with. After a day or two in the pool, you stop noticing physical imperfections and start to notice "damn, those two are always as friendly as can be and always listen when I've got something to say". Needless to say, those are the types of people that we can't wait to see every year when we go Home.

    Hedo changed our lives too - Most people on this board can probably attest the same. We greatly appreciate that Hedo motivated us to get into a healthier lifestyle (among other lifestyles ), but at this point we're exercising / eating well because of how it makes us feel the other 51 weeks a year that we're on this world.
    Absolutley well put! You just described it without error, or sugar coating. Well done.

    I don't exactly want to loose weight but would love to have a toned stomach.
    Both her and I aren't used to excercising on a regular basis but we have been making a conscious effort to keep a routine.

    I've been on the elliptical FAITHFULLY every single day for an hour. About 6 miles a day. I fell off the horse the last 2 days with the tsunami warning coming here to Hawaii. Had to evacuate, everything was closed, had to secure the house and pack stuff in the car, but all is back to normal now, and I'm back on the fitness grind as of today!

    As a HUGE soda drinker and zero exercise (hellllooooo I DRIVE to my MAILBOX LMAO), I have cut out the junk food and carbonated drinks, and have been bustin a sweat an hour a day at the gym. It seems to be a SLOW process, but I'm hoping 20 wks of it I can get to my goal

    Oh, if I can do it, anyone can do it. Just stick to it.

    I'm a bit plateaued, but a bad day here or there doesn't help. I just remember its a long journey, not an overnight battle.

    Keep it up!
