Heres a pretty big update from the last few month and a half maybe. I always mean to post lots of pictures but I never do. I post them to twitter a lot but never make the full circle to gaf.


That thing is full of BEEEES. :o

Headlamp


Burrito party


SEGA has this crazy dinosaur hunting game at the arcade. Its rad. You can shoot a cross bow and theres this weird touchscreen map thing where you select your own path.


Queen VelociaLume


My job requires safety glasses. Also thats about as full of a beard as I can grow. :[


sleepstep

Gameboy Light just in case.


i look really nasty and greasy but i like this photo for some reason
Oh here is a bonus one from about 5 years ago. I recently unearthed an old external harddrive with tons and tons of pictures of 19 year old me. Its actually pretty embarassing. I remember thinking I was kind of cool because I hung out with all these DJs in Berkeley/Oakland and would just roam around shrouded behind my epic hairdo not saying a word.
Look at my fucking hair! AHHHHH!


Welp, theres a lot of photos of me.
 
Totally was scandia.
They have PacMan Battle Royale there!!!!!!!!!


Oh shit I want to go California Extreme really badly. Are you going for more than one day?
 
I don't think I ever played Battle Royale while there, damn!

I was planning on doing a weekend trip. Since Great America is right across the street I may go there for part of a day.
 
One thing I don't understand is, why is straight-GAF sooooo slow to praise the girls? are you guys nervous? of course gaygaf says something right away, it's normal in gay culture to appreciate nice bodies and say something, no drama about it, and no, not every gay has sex with every gay he encounters.

I take it to PM. Otherwise the crass things I say will get me banned. No restraining orders yet.
 
PMBR is fucking sick. We should get a crew together and go. There is a paintball place right next door too. It was sorta lame when I was there because I was only with one other person and it was sorta a date type thing so we didn't get the full 4 player experience. But its seriously radical.

Uh, at least for me it's just I don't want to come off like a creep commenting on all girl pics in here. It's always fun with Devo though, so she's my personal exception.
But for the record, so far everything GirlGAF posted in here was awesome and I'd be more than happy to see more, even if I'll never meet anyone of you in person :D

I'll cherish those PMs forever.

Absolutely, wait when was a paintball place there? I remember the crappy go-karts and the boat thing.

On topic, I didn't think there was a compliment quota we had to meet. Shit. Uh y'all are gorgeous and stuff.

off to the library.
 
No its not a part of scandia but nextdoor there used to be a big levits furniture warehouse and it went out of business and now its an indoor paintball arena. it could have already gone out of business though. ive never been there. lol lets all go hangout in rohnert park and get wasted on malt liquor.

wenis bro, you gonna go see squarepusher with acrid and i on august second? Im taking the night off work!
 
Even without counting PMs I think we've got plenty of evidence that people do praise girlGAF quite a lot.

If anything, a lot of people see how quick creepGAF does it so they don't want to be compared with them.

well, yeah you have a point there. I guess I didn't take the creeps into consideration because I haven't seen many of them (if at all) in the gay OT.

Mostly everyone has been friendly in this thread so far, so I did find it a bit interesting that I have seen some guys post stuff like they are unsure if they should or not.. like hesitating...I guess is like you say, they don't want to be considered freaks.
 
Me??
I thought I had posted clear pics already??

You have, but you do look different in a lot of them.

I generally don't make any comments on anyone, with the exception of supporting beard gaf or weight loss gaf.

I'm not opposed to other people complimenting or criticizing me when I put myself out there, and I assume that the other people are open to that as well, or they wouldn't be posting. Obviously people are mostly nice so they aren't usually going to come out and call you ugly or whatever. I just choose not to critique, positive or negative, girlGaf or guyGaf.

edit: No creepy PMs, either!

For me, just a personal choice. Side effect is that I don't come off as creeper GAF. Until I get to the confessional thread at least! (Note: that is a joke, I have never e-mailed GAF confessional. The confessions from this thread are pretty bad, but nowhere near the pinnacle of creepiness in that thread. I have nothing interesting to confess).

None of you have horrified me, though!
 
hey evilore, did you have big man boobs? im not trying to be funny just asking and do you have any loose skin in your chest area?

I went gradually and added muscle mass during the process so I don't have loose skin issues.

The only issue that I can see is that my body fat seems to be localized specifically in my chest and belly now post-weight loss, when it used to be normalized across my body more when I was, say, a teenager (with a higher bf% than I have now). Probably a side effect of the extreme obesity. So until I get my bf% down to the point where my stomach is totally flat (ABSSSSSS), I'll probably won't look great naked, since right now I have a slender v-shaped torso that suddenly has a small muffin coming out over top of it, and a tiny bit of pseudogynecomastica on top of my pecs. I'm guessing I need to get to about 175 lbs or so for all of that to go away completely.

Three months backpacking Europe should do the trick, at any rate ;b.
 
Evil, are you a fan of Friends? Whenever you mention backpacking in Europe, I remember this episode.

Congrats by the way, incredible transformation.

A huge difference man, good job! ;)

I'm sure it'll be a good motivator for people.
 
Looking good, EviLore, harSon and jeremy70583. Never knew EviLore was so big before wow. New look is such an upgrade.

I personally never struggled with overweight. And I don't know how that feels. But it's always nice to see people lose so much weight. Must feel good.

thanks for replying man.
 
Thank you all. All praise really goes out to my boy Mike Lloyd of Her Lovely Hues Photography

wow, you look so different from the pic you posted last page, great picture in any case.

you are an actor, right? or how did the tears roll down?

I'm not really an actor, I prefer behind the camera. The tear were because of all the dirt and spit I just rubbed in my face and eyes and then subsequently stared into the sun. I told him they were about to fall so to get that camera ready!
 
Nothing beats laying on steps taking pictures of yourself on a Saturday night.

Is this a funny picture or what!?

Today, 183 lbs and considerably improved mood ;b

Great work here. Good to see the effort paid off so well for you.

Picture of me today at 189 pounds:

Very nice result. How tall are you? You look lean at 189, well done.

I don't really have much loose skin, but i do have that pesky belly that won't go away. Lately i've been working more on gaining muscle instead of loosing weight.

Belly is always the last to go on me, most men are that way. Annoying. Gaining muscle is a good call. I just went the same route and now leaning down again.

Today:

Sometimes I wonder if a professional looking photo would make me look good.

Then I just realize that it would probably just highlight my flaws.
