   Good idea, Josh. The only thing is, while you guys keep losing weight, I seem to keep finding it!! Anyhoo, more power to ya. By the way, the quasi-karate stance in your first photo is super hot.

2. 2 The General 14 December 2006 @ 10:47 pm

   You know you so want me. (It’s ok, Christina know too). =-)

3. 3 Aubree 15 December 2006 @ 11:10 am

   Good job! I love the first photo - it’s quite intimidating.

4. 4 mrs. general 16 December 2006 @ 9:58 pm

   You are a shining exmple of healthful eating! Someday I will stop eating like a pig. Way to go on weeks 1 & 2!

5. 5 Margaret 17 December 2006 @ 8:31 pm

   Wow. I like Josh even more now that I know he has no pride! Or is it an overabundance of courage and a fanciful belief that his friends will not tease him for the rest of his life! Whichever the case, this is pretty darn funny! The photos gave me encouragment to shed a few of my extra pounds.
   After I laughed so hard that my kids asked me what was wrong, I though, “I would never put photos of myself in a bathing suit on the internet.” Perhaps that is a standard we should all live by… Am I happy enough with my body to post photos of it scantilly clothed for all to see? If not, so something about it! Good for you fatties to show us all that we should just lose it with friends and with humor.

   “…belief that his friends will not tease him for the rest of his life.” You obviously don’t know his friends!

7. 7 Sarah 18 December 2006 @ 9:32 pm

   Great… Now everybody knows. Thanks a lot.:)

8. 8 Sarah 18 December 2006 @ 9:45 pm

   Hey- Maybe you could visit some of these “pro-ana/pro-mia” websites for some of what they call “Thinspiration”. It seems to be working for Nichole Richie. Just a thought.

9. 9 The General 19 December 2006 @ 11:25 am

   Apparently that’s what Cody’s doing. He’s all about the heroin chic.

10. 10 mrs. general 19 December 2006 @ 12:21 pm

    Yes, everyone THAT is what I go to bed with every night and wake up to every morning!! My sexy, sexy beast! J/K honey, you know I love you just the way you are!

11. 11 Aubree 20 December 2006 @ 10:09 am

    I don’t know if it’s the look on your face, that you’re wearing a stocking cap inside, or that you’re posing in front of an ornament wreath, but it’s hilarious. Keep up the good work, General.

12. 12 The General 20 December 2006 @ 1:51 pm

    I think you mistyped. You said “hilarious,” but I think you really meant “sexylarious.” No problem, common mistake.

13. 13 Grandpa Wayne 20 December 2006 @ 10:51 pm

    A noble cause and a great example for my grandchildren. I know Ezra will say someday ” I want to look just like my dad”.

    Any one who saves the labels off the food he eats is committed to winning.

    Looking forward to the final pics.

14. 14 The Pirate 20 December 2006 @ 11:02 pm

    Ha, Keep calling Grandpa… we’ll hear you!!!

15. 15 Teri 21 December 2006 @ 11:31 pm

    This is absolutely hilarious. I recognize all of you!!! Have fun and I am rootin for you!!! Teri

16. 16 Beck 23 December 2006 @ 8:59 pm

    Yeah!

    Gimmee some sugar baby!!!

17. 17 mrs. general 27 December 2006 @ 1:22 pm

    You are starting to frighten me. I think I may have to stop encouraging these very sexy, come hither, male escort-esque poses.

18. 18 Aubree 28 December 2006 @ 1:48 pm

    What hat will you wear next week? Keep up the scary poses!

19. 19 mrs. general 4 January 2007 @ 9:48 pm

    Good job eating good and going to the gym! Keep it up

20. 20 mike gebhardt 7 January 2007 @ 4:47 pm

    you guys are looking good !!!!

21. 21 The Pirate 7 January 2007 @ 5:47 pm

    Gebby!!! what is going on?

22. 22 The General 7 January 2007 @ 8:58 pm

    GEBBY! What’s up, bro? Saw your Xmas pic — that’s a fine-looking family you’ve got there. You guys gotta stop by when you’re up here next! Drop me a line!

23. 23 Brandy 22 January 2007 @ 11:11 pm

    Thought I’d check in on you guys. Looking good!

24. 24 The General 23 January 2007 @ 11:16 am

    I think the new pic really brings out my abdominal definition.

25. 25 The Monk 23 January 2007 @ 11:23 am

    What the hell is this? Did you have surgery? Get a new tattoo that’s still seeping? Otherwise I’m calling foul on that pic.

26. 26 The Captain 23 January 2007 @ 11:35 am

    I’m confused as well.

27. 27 The General 23 January 2007 @ 4:13 pm

    It was just kind of a joke, apparently not funny enough to please this blistering crowd. I actually had decided to abandon it and do a normal pic this morning, but I ended up lifting weights right before Mrs. General woke up and was therefore artificially pumped-up. I didn’t want to send anyone into fits of horniness with my newly pumped-up physique.

28. 28 The Captain 23 January 2007 @ 5:06 pm

    LOL. No, I didn’t mean it wasn’t funny — you certainly look ridiculous. I just can’t tell what you are — what’s on your head?

29. 29 Aubree 29 January 2007 @ 11:59 am

    Let me guess, Stina’s hat and glasses? You’re doing great!

30. 30 Gma 31 January 2007 @ 9:36 am

    I am enjoying all you crazy guys !!!!!!

31. 31 The Monk 6 February 2007 @ 10:27 pm

    I’m closing the gap, pumpkin. My crappy Sunday meals are over. They’re over, Johnny!

    You look fatter than I do in the week 10 pic.

32. 32 The General 8 February 2007 @ 11:43 pm

    I’m hustlin’. Playin’ possum with you boys.

33. 33 Maglukluk 12 February 2007 @ 4:28 pm

    Congrats on the weight loss Josh! I know how hard it is. while the pictures give me much joy and laughter there is a disturbing factor that cannot be ignored and I may wind up in counseling. is this your rendition of cupid? no wonder i never really liked valentine’s day! ha ha.

34. 34 The General 12 February 2007 @ 4:52 pm

    It was -15 wind chill when I took that pic. If you tilt your screen at an angle, you can see the glare that was created by the frigid temperatures intersecting with the high-pressure ring of sexy that surrounds my pale flesh.

35. 35 Aubree 13 February 2007 @ 9:05 am

    It was so nice of you to sacrifice yourself to make sure everyone has a nice valentine’s day.

36. 36 Kelly 15 February 2007 @ 11:41 am

    Oh, general. is this a preview of the mrs. general’s valentine’s gift? shots like these take me back to Varsity Blues, I’m not gonna lie.

37. 37 Justin 21 February 2007 @ 9:52 am

    I’m still trying to figure out the “high pressure ring of sexy”…That could be the cause of all that cold weather back there… your sexyness is sucking all the warm air from America’s heartland… Good work General.

38. 38 mrs. general 26 February 2007 @ 5:23 pm

    That is my sexy Valentine! Uh I did get a video iPod too Good work on eating good and exercising and most of all–although unrelated to weight loss, good work on all the long hours and sweat, blood and stress you’ve put in on your latest work project. Your kids and I are all proud of you!!! I love you

39. 39 Alli 21 March 2007 @ 11:22 pm

    Hi there old friend! I stumbled on this while helping a friend look for scholarships.

    I am so proud of all of you! I can see that none of you have lost your sense of humor even though you are losing pounds! Keep up the good work!

40. 40 Aubree 28 March 2007 @ 11:50 am

    Looking good! The only thing that worries me is the lack of crazy poses. Where has the creativity gone? I can make some suggestions if you’d like.

41. 41 Sarah 14 April 2007 @ 8:22 pm

    Wow, Josh, you’re almost to your goal!! Good job. Regardless of who wins this contest, I want you to know you’ll always be a winner to me.
