I have read over this entire thread the past few days and there are some truly inspirational stories here. I have been trying to lose weight off and on for the past couple years but I have really shifted it in to high gear since my wife gave me an ultimatum. At the end of the day, I am tired of people telling me that I have gained weight and I'm tired of not being able to fit my old clothes. I hope this doesn't sound weird but one of the reasons why I want to lose weight is so I can start back getting bjs. My wife used to do it all the time but she stopped last year and now says it is gross. I'm hoping that fact that I drop this fat will indeed bring her to her knees or if push comes to shove, I can always get another woman to find me attractive and do it. I know this may sound kind of shallow but it's the way I feel and I'm sure other guys may be going through the same thing even though they may not admit it.
