Great update! I am so impressed about you being clean from sugar/processed carbs for 117 days…that is awesome! Thanks for being a inspiration!
Andrew……look at you looking all fabulous! Congrats on the BMI! That’s huge! I think your thoughts about your waist are indeed reasonable, and in my library-geek’d nature, I actually read an article today about the heredity factors in weight around the middle, and yada yada yada….if you’re interested, inbox me your email address and I’ll send it as a PDF. Have a great week……

@cabernetqueen Thank you for giving me the feedback I needed to hear. It will help move forward with my goals. Thanks for being a friend. Andrew
you are looking so great!! i know we are our worst critic, but i think you are doing great!!! don’t worry about the slow wt loss. ur body will adjust. i feel like my lower body is losing too slow. but, the wt is coming off and a lower BMI is more important than any # on that scale. AND as we continue to be consistant, our bodies will form. i think it is very reasonable for ur waist to b the same as ur hips and smaller than ur chest. keep going strong Andrew!!! keep ur goals!! u can do it!
Finished the video and wanted to comment that I don’t think your goals are unreasonable at all. I believe a waist looks best when it is smaller than the chest or hips and there is nothing wrong with working toward that goal. You are doing fabulous and if you keep doing what you are doing, it is naturally going to get smaller and at some point you may need to target it through specific weight training exercises.
What an accomplishment to below a 30 BMI. You have given yourself the gift of a longer life. The realization that we are going to have to keep up the exercise even after we reach goal is important for all of us to come to. That is the difference between this journey and all of our previous yo yo diets. This has to truly become a lifestyle change. It does not end with maintenance.
You are such an inspiration and always full of information. My scale is stalling and I am really trying to watch what I eat but even with more exercise the scale is not moving, I am going to talk with my doctor and nutritionist to see what can I do next.
I think it is very reasonable what ever makes u feel good and or comfortable, thats what u should do.~Tyna
Andrew you are doing such a good job. You are ‘Healthy’ you have done it! You have added those years to your life already through the changes you have made. I think body image is a really interesting thing. It’s seems like it takes many of us a good while for our heads to catch up with our body. (And yes I think your goals are reasonable
Andrew, you are doing phenomenal, keep a smile on your face! I read your food intake journals and it definitely helps me make good choices. Great pics of Lake Tahoe, how nice! Have fun at the meet and greet!
part 2- you can build up your chest- and as you lose more weight- and do crunches- your waist will get smaller— is is all a part of the process- I do body building every week- I feel strong and know underneath the loose skin is strong muscle. I am happy that you spoke about these body dysmorphia issues for MEN– because they really don’t! I thought men were not like women in this way–I hope this gives the guys the freedom to come out of the closet and speak out!
ANDREW!!!!! twenty lashes with a wet noodle!!!!! how dare you talk smack about yourself–don’t „should“ all over yourself! it is a long journey and without the struggles you do not learn any skills to over come with in the future– and you have a long future!!!! right! Your health is primary- it is already a successful goal– stand tall and be thrilled! We all get what we get in the end with our body silhouette- it may not be your dream shape- but you learn to adjust afterwards-

@Shrews1975 they were great! even if Dillie did fluff up her lines
@1968PMR
According to her facebook page and twitter feed, she really did forget her words that night.
@precipice66
The only person I know that could play the piano like that was my Gran – and she was to „lady-like“ to sing like that!! She could have though!!
Superb in Leicester last night (apart from when the ‘Blonde’ forgot her words – ha – bloody brilliant recovery – I think that it was all set up…..)!!
