Well, after 6 months of busting my ass, Im finally where I set out to be back in January. As you can see by the first pic in my progress, I was not happy with myself after seeing my Xmas 08 pics. Im not sure how I could possibly let myself go that far from the 175lbs I was sitting at half a decade prior. I think I found myself making excuses instead of putting the effort in to correct an ever increasing weight gain issue.
Anyways, here we are in July and Im very happy with my progress thus far. Also, I would like to thank the members of this forum for their continued support and positive comments especially over the last month of what I would consider the worst dieting experience. Mood swings, lethargy and a generally undesirable demeanor made me a not so fun person to deal with, but with all the recent positive comments, I just felt I could do just one more day to get the next progress pic up for those who were showing interest.
I would like to make a thankful mention to 3 members in specific.
First off would be Wishin, she was the first person to take interest in my progress and has helped critique my pics daily and point out the improvements I was making, even when I couldn’t see them. Thank you!
Second would be Morgan12422, she has also helped with my daily progress pics but with a different approach. While she was quick to compliment, she also gave the straight up truth, good or bad, which helped me focus on the areas I was excelling in as well as where I was lacking. It was her idea to switch up my diet in the last few weeks to get the final few lbs off my ass. Thanx!!!
Third, but not last is bigzacknj, this guy is a complete nut and trains with serious intensity. Him and I have virtually the same stats and luv for the gym routine. Over the last month, when my energy was low, his constant workout updates and positive attitude kept me working my ass off to not fall behind. Again, thanx bro!!!
There are so many other people that sent along kind words, and I do wish to thank them as well. I will get to all the messages in a timely manner, just give me a couple days to go through my inbox.
So far these 6 months have yielded a 44lb fat loss and a LBM increase of 6lbs. Hopefully today’s body comp test will show me sub-10% bodyfat and I can just work on maintaining for a couple months and enjoy the rest of the summer.
Cheers,
