Alright, I 'll go now.
I went through a divorce when I turned 30(8years ago). Not messy but still weird anyway.
I decided that I was going to get any chicks being "tubby" I am 5'7" and I weighed in at 200#. I lost 55# in about 7 months, just by eating better and LESS. I quit smoking at the same time I started this. I was a route driver and walked all day long so I got my excercise automatically.
I was promoted to manager in 2 years later and met my current wife. We led adventurous lives before we were married and had the dog, kid, house, etc. I have gained back around 40 # and a couple of pant sizes. Most people tell me you are in a good marriage if you are "tubby". Blah Blah, Blah!!!
I am determined to drop 20 # by Christmas. I sometimes think I am part chick as I feel good when I lose a couple of pounds. Trust me, it is not for anyone else but myself and my wife. She's pregnant now and I still find her hot in "wifey" way. Thanks for listening. I am off to the garage to jump rope. WOO HOO!!!!

EDIT: A slimmer me means a faster 911.
Pick up a 20lb weight and carry it around for a while. I gained a bit of weight a while back and had to diet to get it off. Loosing 10 lbs makes a world of difference as to how you feel. I cannot imagine how good it feels to loose 20-40 lbs.

I try to hit the gym in the morning before work 3 times a week.

I am a small guy like you and try to keep my weight in the 155-160 range with the muscle mass I have now. I had at one point weighed 175 with a 29 inch waist, those days are long gone. I also weighed 170 with a 35" waist, it all fell from my chest!!

You also hit the nail on the head. Racing the car and being a small guy gives me an advantage at 5'7" I can easily weigh 155 lbs a 6'+ guy is lucky to be 190-210. That gives me a 50 lb weight advantage before I get in the car.
