In case you all don't know I am a little overweight..... . . . Who am i kidding I am the Michelin Man IRL LOL. So i finally decided to get on a diet and start going to the gym. The reason that I posted this here is because of the reason why I am going on a diet, its for the RX-7. When my car is complete it makes no sense that I have a nice light weight car with my 350 LB *** in it. With me in the car it equates to almost 1 more pound per HP weight ratio. it also makes the car lean to one side SERIOUS. I used to get raged on cause my car would limp on the drivers side.
FC Weight = Est. 2650lbs
Fat Chris = Est. 350Lbs(haven't weighed my self in a while might be a bit more) My Goal is 200LBS
Total Weight = 3000Lbs
2650lbs(Car Only)/400(HP Goal) is 6.625:1
3000lbs(Current Weight)/400(HP Goal) is 7.5:1
2850lbs(Me At 200lbs My Goal)/400(HP Goal) is 7.125
So its time to hit the gym not eat MCD's and eat healthy. For the 7
That or I can take up cocaine.

good for you!
we were talking about that last night, i guess theres some calculator, with time/calories/the weight you wanna loose.
also eating right helps a lot too, for example, cutting fructose alone will prolly loose you like 10lbs, if not more

Good for you!
I have a friend who was overweight, he was brought up in a home with 2 fat parents (his words). He says that his parents pray to lose weight, and that it's in God's hands, but they do nothing else about it. After he moved out, he eats healthy, rides his bike obsessively, and runs with his dog. I'm not sure how much weight he lost (a lot), but he had to get a breast reduction (or whatever it's called for guys), and gained a ton of confidence.
Good luck!

Good for you! I was put on steroids by a quack doctor for my kidney about 5 years ago, the only thing it did for me was throw on 30lbs, I've been tryin to get it off for some time ( they ruin your metabolism on the doses i was on), anyhow I've found in the process I've just started eating better foods, which are better for me and taste better and it makes it much easier to "diet" or rather lose weight. Now if I could just stick to jogging every night i'd be in business!

Those internal "cleanse" products work, they really do. You just **** off 20-30 lbs....but dont rely completely on it though...
Reminds me of a joke: Want to lose 30 lbs. of ugly fat? Chop off your head!
