AofG UPDATE: "Six Pack in Six Months"
All-time AofGer and my good buddy Aaron has decided that it's time to get his fat ass in some semblance of shape. He's cutting right to the chase and trying to get rid of his incredibly ample gut -- yup, that's it -- and he's looking to come through with a Six Pack in Six Months. Straight from the Porker's mouth:
I'm on a mission. You can probably guess what it is from the title of this email. My belly has gotten out of control. I've set a goal that I'm going to get a full out, washboard, six-pack of abs in the next six months, and contrary to all laws of decency and dignity, I'm doing it all in public, on the internet, in a blog, complete with ongoing photos and stats. Warning: the "beginning" pictures are not going to be pretty - brace yourself. But, I've got a plan in action, and I'm already 2 weeks in, so there's actually some material up for you to view.
Come check me out at Six Pack in Six Months - read the blog, add comments/motivation/joyful derision, and watch me along my journey! Forward my site to anyone who is trying to get in shape, who you think needs to get in shape, or who may have some advice for me. I promise to make it fun.
Head over there, poke your head around and then let us know whether you think Aaron can pull it off or if Klompus has a better chance of not being an asshole.
Me? Last time I had a six-pack was in about '93 and since then it's been all 40's and kegs. You?
And Aaron, I know you are reading, so be sure to know that we will be updating our readers on a monthly basis. Do not embarrass yourself.
AofG UPDATE: Let's check in with our man Aaron who is at the half-way point on his quest for a six pack in six months...
Golf clap.
As you can see, Aaron is well on his way to obtaining sexy bitch status and the only question that remains to be seen is whether or not he has the stamina. Dude already engorged himself with an entire pizza once. Who knows what kind of domino effect could take place there?
We here at the AofG are firmly behind you, Aaron. I won't mention anything about your cardio methods but we were able to obtain some exclusive footage from your most recent workout.
Damn, that's gross. Oh wait.
Guess that pic doesn't qualify to receive a permanent link under "Eye Candy," huh?

Umm, no.
Come to think of it, however, may be that Eye Candy category does need a little fixin' up.

Klompus is unequivocally powerless to overcome his condition, but I think this guy has a chance. I'd definitely consider starvation as a strategy though, at least in the beginning- that's a lot of humility to work off.

i'm gonna go out on a firm limb and say no six pack. good weight loss, still no six pack.

It's almost like a one man AofG Celebrity Fit Club.
Six Pack in Six Months is seriously ambitious. I'm not saying it's not possible, just a lofty goal.
Good luck!

"Klompus is unequivocally powerless to overcome his condition"
Aaron, best of luck. I'm rooting for you 100%. That won't change unless you start rocking the elliptical or reminiscing about the days of guinea pig and the tennis ball dunk.

Realistically speaking I think you can do this if you are hard core. On a healthy weight loss & exercise you should lose an average of 2 lbs. a week. 6 months x 4 weeks = 24 weeks x 2 lbs. = 48 lbs. Lots of protein and weights should make some muscles pop!
But I like a beer belly so....

I have never looked forward to more posts showing up on AofG than right now with that picture showing up every time I check the site.

Randi likes it Babu, so it stays.

As a professional fat ass, I have to say that I admire what Aaron is doing. Six-pack? Probably not, but a 12-pack is alright...maybe a small front porch.

That is one big ass belly button.

"I won't mention anything about your cardio methods but we were able to obtain some exclusive footage from your most recent workout."
Pretty standard, actually. I mean, who here doesn't like to drive out to an abandoned logistics facility and blow off some steam with a spastic white dance/gymnastics routine?

Nice footloose clip, Chiles. Does it say anything that I watched the entire clip?

Yes, but we'll give you a pass based on your outstanding work to date.
Excellent job.
