So I'm about halfway done with my newest gas-saving mod.

Removing my spare tire.

No, not the one in my trunk. The one on my gut.

As of this morning, I have lost 14 pounds since the beginning of the year. My goal is to lose another 10.

Cool bro! Congrats and good luck on the other 10.

Are you on some kind of diet or just eating better and exercising?

That's awesome! Great job.

I've been working on that to. Since January 22, I've lost 20lbs. I've also got another 70 to lose in order to get under the "obese" line, so it's a longer process for me. But, the health benefits (and now the gas benefits) are worth the struggle.

Keep up the good work EV!!!

Kimber, stop soliciting the minor.

I've done done two things to lose this weight.

First, I stopped drinking soda (I still have one on a special occasion), and replaced it with at least a liter of water a day.

Second, I've started eating better. Almost no burgers or pizza. Hello sandwiches and chicken salads.

Congrats to the others who have lost weight this year too.

Yeah, same here, but my metabolism is starting to slow down so all that junk i used to eat is catching up. I need to stop drinking soda and eat better :\

I weighed 155 lbs when I was your age.

Don't worry, your metabolism will slow down soon enough.

I'm the same way. No matter what I eat or how hard I work out I can't gain weight. So far I've followed exactly in my dad's genetic footsteps. I'm 28 and he started gaining weight when he was 35...so I have a few more years.
