Yessir, more energy, increased maneuverability; I was just starting to feel the beginnings of waddling in my gait... fuck that. And the pressure on my joints... and my gut getting in the way when I tied my shoes. Skin's complexion is clearer, thinking is, well, pretty good for an Idiot. I mean, if somebody said: "Here, take this 50 lb. backpack & lug it around all day, every day, I'd be like: fuck you, buddy; but that's what I was doing, just with 50 lb. of fat. I remember taking that 1st picture, looking @ it & thinking my head looked like a big pasty bowling ball. Decided then it was time for a change; just a matter of time after that. Chicks be noticing, too. Whereas before, not so much. lol.
