Stomach bulge

Kind of a silly question, but this might cause a problem when I assemble my armor...

What should I do if my gut makes the belly armor piece stick out far? I've got what you could call a "Grover" body, so the only fat part I have on my body will be pushing the belly piece out much farther than the chest pieces.

Other than working out (duh), and other suggestions to even out the plane of my armor?

LOL!!!!!!! Well, I have a bit of a beer gut myself, so I've got a few suggestions. Actually, by teh time you get all your belts & everything on, you will be able to hide it pretty well. Thank god for the Jet pack belt!!!! I usually tighten mine up a bit, & that does the trick. I also wear my girth & ammo belts a little higher & that helps as well if you tighten them up good. Not overly comfortable, but does look better!!! LOL

jango kid.

Love that suit man!!

+1 Super nice ESB

That one home depot JP harness basically is a back brace and has a girdle built into it. I'm sure if the above suggestions don't work you can try something like a girdle or exercise neoprene band. I'm just going to use my finished Fett as my motivation to drop 20 lbs...

the home depot braces are good both for help sucking it in, and helping your posture.

the posture is a killer... you tend to lean back, which makes matters even worse!

I guess try sucking it in and slouching...

Yeah, stick your butt out and suck in the gut

... or just go on a diet.

unfortunately, sit-ups alone don't flatten your abs. You have to lay off the corn syrup and beer and do tons of cardio.

You could try an old fashioned girdle if you are desperate. Just don't tell anybody.

ya walking and jogging always helps also trading in red meat for more poultry and carbs for more vegeatbles

Corn syrup, sure. Beer? Not a chance! I'm Canadian, you can't make me do that!

I'm a big meat/veggies guy as it is, I grill lots and eat about 50% vegetarian.

grilling is a healthy way to cook food i hear but try trading red meat in for some chicken and turkey and omit barbeque sauce if you use it currently and you problably will see some improvements for sure

I rarely ever use barbecue sauce. I'm more of a marinade guy. I do fish once or twice a week, pork an chicken. Small steak like once a week. My dinners are very balanced.

the quality of the meat matters hugely too... grass fed, locally raised beef will likely be healthier than an equivalent cut of corn fed, mass market moo.

I don't think it looks that bad, guys. Have you seen some of the Snow or Scouts running around?!

I'm roundish in the middle as well, my stormtrooper costume bears that out a bit! If you walk around holding the EE-3 across your midsection, no one will see your belly. Also, I think fans tend to look mostly at the helmet. I've lost 12 pounds since I got my armor a little over a month ago and it's made a difference. Now I've got to keep on exercising!! I want to look good in the flight suit as well


BTW, I think you look fine in the photo. I don't see a "chubby Boba" by any means.
Your costume is awesome!

Due to the 300 forums, change in diet and other factors like a great accountabilibuddy (300 forum workout buddy) I lost over 3 inches around my middle causing me to have my Boba vest altered to fit me.

Here's the suit on for the first time before being altered. I had last worn it in March and that vest was tight!

doh, went to the 300 forums and tried to register to read the info and registration has been suspended

I tell everyone I'm a distant cousin ,

^ Got one, wear it frequently makes me feel sexy.

just....hmmm... curious...

trade the armor in for a Rancor Keeper outfit. I wanna see the "It's not cannon" Discussion on that one

sad thing is I've got a membership to a nice gym but never use it. I dont have anyone to work out with so it's kind of discouraging. I dont want the gut when I finish my fett... maybe this thread will be my motivation to get back at working out.

Even worse than that...
i have a free Gym membership through my work and it's on my way home
I've never been

That's it, tomorrow morning before work I'm going to the gym.

I know for me it has been a up and down battle since i started dieting and excersing i do real good than i break down and pig out one thing that really worked for me in the past was weight watchers and i like said on my previous post trading in meats and vegs for carbs

i lost 18 lbs this year.

give up fast food. cook at home.

the only fast food i really ate was taco bell, wendys, and qdoba, which aren't bad ones but with improved diet at home and continued exercise i've steadily lost weight.

i always had abs anyway...but all excess fat anywhere else is gone


if you're already on burger king and mcdonalds, you're screwed. unless you are 15 and can metabolically support such food.


i truly believe fast food is the only culprit for keeping on weight, even with exercise..if you're fueling your body with $1 mcchickens it's just not going to happen.

ya giving up fast food really does help too sadly i just ate some taco bell =/ least i count calories so i know what i can eat later

"Hey honey...does this armor make me look fat?"

Put on all your armour, and then run around the block three times before breakfast. After that gets too easy, start adding weight (i.e. lead blocks in your jet pack). Repeat process till trim.
