Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 11, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted March 11, 2019 I never order belly leather. Spongey, stretchy, not firm and doesn't hold shape well. BUT that could be said for bellies NOT ON COWS, eh? Few months ago, the wench wife bought me a gym membership. Couple weeks ago, she showed up with new athletic shoes, just happen to be my size Fine. Winter in the north is a bit stifling and I like to get out the chair anyway. Plus, I'm WAY too cheap to pay for a gym membership and then not use it So after talking with a girl yesterday who sent me some rather 'racey' pics showing her weight loss "journey", I took a couple myself. Truth be told, I DO have a bit of 'belly leather' that could be trimmed. Consider it the "before" pic ... ANYBODY ELSE? (Nate, not you kid ). Click to enlarge, just remember that when the pic enlarges, the belly enlarges... you dun been warned Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 11, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) OH .. to be clear, I'm doing this because it's a good idea .. NOT because of pics of some girl in her underpants And that's my left arm hanging, phone in right hand. Happens with pics in the bath mirror (note: observation is 9/10 of the law -- note backwards lettering on the free shirt). Edited March 11, 2019 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

If so I may be part of a world wide leatherworker.net weight loss team. If not, maybe just chaw down on more cake. But all encouragement from me. H Quote No longer following it.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 11, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted March 11, 2019 Wife on about hitting the gym (me, not her ). Then she bought the membership. Then she bought teh shoes. Then some girl sent me pics ..... uh... inspirational stuff .... Guess nobody else needs to tighten up a bit... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."
