The Bongo Diet

[Tone Chaser]

A couple of weeks ago I posted a query wondering whether hefty fellas such as myself should play a Bongo (being that it is roundish, and coupled with my round frame I feared that the combination would more or less upset the solar system). I received a tremendous amount of positive feedback, which was fantastic.

However, my girlfriend (bless 'er), failed to see the humour in any of it, and was not pleased with me advertising my weight issue on a forum. Following the ensuing arguments, she came up with a brilliant idea: if I am able to lose 40lbs (which would put me in a much healthier category) she would pay half the price of a Bongo. But, if I am able to lose 80lbs (which would allow me to fit once again into my high school jeans), she would pay for the Bongo of my choosing, in FULL!

That was a week ago, and I've already lost 5lbs.

BP, I think you have started a diet revolution.

Now that's a diet plan I could go for! (but the missus makes me pay for my own )

What a great incentive, Tone Chaser. And what a great girlfriend! You'll be a loser and a winner at the same time.

Wow, good for you. Kind of went through a similar thing and ended up losing 18 kgs. Albe my gal only ended up rewarding me with 1/2 the original offer. I guess she thought the "grinning it off part" was more beneficial to me. Anyhoot 50-100% of a 'NEW" Bongo, god bless her heart; Now thats what I call a "righteous deal" go to it mate......

Do the Atkins/low carb thing & you'll have your Bongo in no time. Especially if you add exercise to the mix. Good luck!

Stick a picture of the Bongo you want on the ice box door as to help keep you honest and on the right path....

Burn the fat, feed the muscle. Do NOT diet.

I've kicked off almost ten pounds and gained about a pound of muscle mass now.

wow - thats an awesome offer on her part.

+ really, any excuse to get healthy is a good one. put a bass into the mix and its a win win win

 

[timmy5strings]

Lose weight and gain a bass, thats the program I need !

 

[Pittman75]

Protein= Good!

Be sure not to get discouraged after loosing the initial weight as it will be a lot of water. Fat is much harder to lose. Something like 3x as hard. But, remember eating alone isn't all of it- get out there and run around, or rather bass it up nightly!

What more motivation could you ask for?

You've got you a good lady.

That's the way to do it. My diet looked kinda like Atkins with much less fat. Worked for me.

I lost 60lbs AND quit smoking 2 years ago and I am a lazy SOB. If I can lose weight, anyone can. Keep a picture of a Bongo on the fridge as previously mentioned.

I have kept it off and actually ran a marathon last year.

I had to sell my Bongo - it made me look small while playing it.

I need to forward this thread to my wife...I'd like a Bongo too....
