Ran across this article<\/a> about 20 Reasons to Drop 20 Pounds. I’ve been getting Men’s Health<\/a> emails ever since I purchased the Abs Diet<\/a> book a few months back. By the way, I’d suggest the Abs Diet<\/a> book for you guys who are also joining in this challenge, as it has several great tasting recepies that are good for you.<\/p>\n

Below is the complete list of 20 reasons (included for you lazy types):<\/p>\n

\n1. Because you whine that you need to. Have you ever been wrong about anything?<\/p>\n

2. Twenty pounds of warm human fat can refill every bottle in an empty case of beer, with enough left over to fill your blender.<\/p>\n

3. The statement “There’s more of me to love” has an actual bedroom translation of “There’s more of me to endure.”<\/p>\n

4. It’s not scaling Everest or writing the great American novel. You can do it in your spare time.<\/p>\n

5. You’ll speak of toaster pastries the way you talk about that dirty blonde from the blues bar in Berkeley, another whiskey-soaked lament over a love too great to last.<\/p>\n

6. It’s the difference between being thought of as jolly or witty.<\/p>\n

7. You’ll lose weight everywhere, including the suprapubic fat pad at the base of your penis. So as your belly shrinks, something else appears to grow.<\/p>\n

8. Decreased: your chances of developing heart disease, prostate cancer, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, back pain, impotence, gallstones, joint problems, high blood pressure, low sperm counts, and an impressive collection of prescription-drug bottles.<\/p>\n

9. Increased: your chances of putting four fingers on a basketball rim.<\/p>\n

10. You’ll literally get closer to women.<\/p>\n

11. Holy sh– . . . abs!<\/p>\n

12. Men who lose weight never have less sex. They may not have more, mind you, but they never have less.<\/p>\n

13. You’ll shock the world at your local pool by being the only “big splash” champ to win the “little splash” crown.<\/p>\n

14. Research shows that since you’ll have less weight propelling you into the windshield, you’ll also have less risk of dying when your car hits a semi.<\/p>\n

15. Every time you pick up a 20-pound dumbbell, you’ll remember.<\/p>\n

16. You’ll be able to reach even more places to scratch.<\/p>\n

17. The clothing cliche: It’s liberating the first time your pants fall down by themselves.<\/p>\n

18. More pullups, because there’s less to pull up.<\/p>\n

19. Wait till you ride a WaveRunner, quad, or snowmobile when you’re 20 pounds lighter. Vroom, baby.<\/p>\n

20. In our society, people respect weight loss. Even if you do nothing cool or interesting or memorable for the rest of your life, you’ll have done that.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
