“Stocky” vs “Bear”

For the past week or two now I’ve been weighing 220.x – it’s been oddly consistent. Every now and then I’d get down to 219.8, but that’s pretty much 220. Well today I came in at 219.2 – which I’m hoping is signaling I’m over my plateau and going down again.
When I feel my body, and look in the mirror I notice a difference from how I used to be (see pictures from July – and that wasn’t even me at my heaviest). I feel a lot lighter and not so much like a bear. BUT, when I take photos of myself the camera’s not so kind – and I’m clearly still a bear (see pic to right).
I remember this weight range well. For many years I wasn’t sure whether I was a bear or just stocky. It’s even more of a question when I get down around 210.
My clothes are starting to be really baggy – they’re completely unflattering. If it were the ’90s and baggy were in it wouldn’t be so bad. But I don’t want to buy too many new clothes since I’m still losing weight.
I’ve got a long ways to go. I wanna get down to 190 or 180. But even this amount of weight loss (34 lbs) feels good – even if I still look heavy in picture, I know I’m so much lighter than I was. And it’ll be great when I get down to 210 and am genuinely stocky, not a bear…
Little steps on a long path… 🙂
So what’s the difference between a bear and a hairy chub?
You should be proud! Its difficult to tell in the picture you posted because your arm is in the way, but its really easy to tell from your “love handles” that yours in the recent picture seem to be all but gone. It may just be a good picture or good angle, but id say your past stocky and down to “average”. Whatever the word for it may be, I call it Sexy!
I think 219 looks good on you! I would let you seed me any day of the week. 🙂
@rawTOP I’m not in NYC. I wish I was! Don’t think I would be your type anyway, but it’s nice to fantasize. 😉
My definition of stocky has to do with a mans gut to butt ratio. If your gut sticks out further than your butt, you’re a chub. If your gut and butt are both plump and virtually even then you’re one stocky fuck that I can’t keep my eyes off of.
From that pic, I’d say you’re more average than stocky. You don’t really have a gut, but you have nice hips. Kind of hot cause if you slimmed down you’d probably still have a nice butt. Too bad I like my men with more meat on their bones.
What are you doing to help lose the weight? What do you normally eat now-a-days? And I agree more with James, you seem more average.
no matter .. you look damn HOT man as you are.
love to get you riding my ass…
