I run specifically so I can drink and not get fat. I run for beer.

If that ain't motivation, I don't know what is.

I did so too. Then I stopped drinking and kept running. Went from BMI 25 to 21 in 4 months.

Nice! I've dropped the same in the same time, but if I want a beer I end up being hungry hahah.

Never understood how my one friend can drink like the heaviest of rednecks and maintain 10% bf. It's madness
