Since I've hit the big five-oh, midlife crisis has hit me hard. I posted a decidedly G-rated photo on the "men of lit" thread, just hoping someone would say something nice to make me feel a little better. In fact, a couple of ladies did post positive comments, and I thank them for that. Still, I realized I can't escape the fact that I am not happy with the shape I'm in.

This morning, I woke up to an epiphany. I'm being fucking stupid, coming here begging for someone to feel sorry for me and say something nice to make me feel better, when I could go out and make myself better.

So that is what I plan to do. I am going to eat better and start working out. To provide motivation, I am going to post my progress here. I will post a photo or two once a month, on the 12th. Knowing all of you are watching should prevent me from slacking off. If you want to comment, fine, but it's not necessary, just knowing you are all watching should be motivation enough.

If anyone else wants to join me on this self improvement challenge, you are more than welcome to post your own progress pics here. I am happy to share the thread.

So here goes nothin'. This is what I'm starting with:

Hello JR. Your post caught my eye for a couple of reasons. First, you come across as sincere. Second, I wanted to tell you that we women, from my limited knowledge of Lit, tend to comment less than men. There are all kinds of people here and all kinds of body types are admired/adored/lusted for. Perhaps, we have just been shy when you posted earlier. That being said, Third, if you feel like you need to get back in shape, that's fantastic and I think it's a great idea for your thread, to follow your journey.
Well that was one more than a couple but I was never very good at maths.

I think you look plenty sexy, so the only argument I have is with your title :D

Good luck :kiss:
 
Back(side) a little early

My plan was only to post here once a month, to hopefully show my progress, but a very special lady asked me to post another photo sooner. How could I resist?

Yep...I agree with everything Lizzie said! :heart:

*Whistles.* 💋 God bless the woman who asked you to post an earlier post.

And for the record, I find you incredibly attractive. You are already sexy but it's great you have found the motivation to make yourself even better.

Just remember to be happy where you are too while you work on yourself because you are hot and seem to have a wonderful personality.

Cheers.

:cattail:

I think you should at least do a weekly shot so we know you're not fluffing off ;) :D
 
And.... how did I miss this!? I'm not always in the other thread, that's been deleted by the way, but I know you've posted in my Hairy Chest thread! I'm glad you realize that you can't depend on others make you a certain kind of sexy, BUT it is nice to be appreciated and hear those words! Or read them!

I can't speak for every lady, but sexy for me is the way a man carries himself in situations, the quiet strength is more important to me. Oh, I appreciate a man's body, but there is so much more than that that I want from a man.

I look forward to watching you grow in confidence and realize that you are, indeed, sexy. :rose:
 
Now that is a fantastic image JRP. I am sure the lady who asked for an earlier picture is mighty pleased.
:rose:

Um, "fluffing" . . . isn't that what they do to male porn stars to keep them, um, primed between photos? In that case, yes please :D

Nice to be appreciated indeed. Thanks so much. Love your avatar, BTW

Oh I hope so. :) Thanks.

Thanks to all the "Lovely Ladies of Lit" (L3) who commented or even just looked. You're making this old man's day.
 
1. Not all us ladies are in the best shape (round is a shape though dammit! That's my story and *I for one am sticking to it! Lol)

2. Posting here on Lit helped me gain some confidence and helped me feel better about myself in general. It's not always about how you look that makes you sexy. It's how you feel. 😘

3. Um, who says you aren't sexy? Because they are CRAZY!!! 😍😍😍

4. Keep up the posts.....and other things too. Heh heh 😈
 
What I have to say in response to your post is the same the others of commented. It is definitely more than looks that makes a man sexy, but as far as your body currently? Hot Damn! I think you are sexy as hell.

As you know, I'm on a similar weight loss journey, so I also know how it feels to not be happy with your body image even if others are. Good luck to you. Being happy with yourself is most important :):rose:

Wowser! Great pic!

So here goes nothin'. This is what I'm starting with:

First, you aren't stupid. Second, 50 is still young, although it may not seem like it. Third, it takes courage to post pics, and not give up when one doesn't get the feedback one was hoping for. Fourth, have fun with your thread. Don't take it too seriously. Most of us are on and off Lit, sometimes off for days, weeks, and months at a time. Lastly, I keep my comments on ampic threads lean for several reasons, but when I see ampic threads where I sense the op is being real and not looking for someone to get off to and is taking the time to create good pics, I'll comment. However, I work full time, I'm not young, have ADD, and so it's easy to miss good threads. :)

Love your thread, and wish you the best! You have a great body and great creativity. Keep going!

Thanks. I can feel my confidence growing when lovely ladies like you respond . . . and sometimes those other things you mentioned. :D

Thanks for stopping by and good luck to you in your endeavors as well. Speaking of sexy . . . I've seen your thread, so, back at ya.

I hope you don't mind a bi male's opinion, but damn :)

I don't mind at all. I'm glad you like it.

may i pm you with a dare?

Go ahead, but I'm not promising I'll do it ;)

Wowser! Great pic!

Great sentiments and I really appreciate you taking the time to pen such a thoughtful response.

I really appreciate all of you who have responded with such kind words.
 
Being almost 53 here soon, I can relate to that number being scary, but I can tell you that you already look fantastic!

Thanks for sharing, keep it up!! :heart:
 
Its all in the mind. I am still trying to figure out what I am going to do when I grow up one day.
 
A bit of a silly picture

I think it does show that I am making progress. There's even a hint of abs. Not exactly a six-pack yet, but definitely moving in the right direction.
