Anyway I've struggled with weight most of my life, nothing seemed to work or motivated me enough to slim down. A few pages back on or about the end of April I read a post from 11Bee that scared the shizz out of my and got my ass in gear. Since that time I have dropped 57lbs and feel great. All my vitals are back to normal and I have more energy than I've had in years. I still have about 40lbs to go, I expect this to be off by New Years Eve, that’s my goal and once there I will not go up. I'd like to thank all in this thread especially 11Bee for getting me motivated. Anyway here are a couple of pictures showing my progress, the 1st is from about a year and a half ago, the 2nd from Jury 3rd, since then I have dropped another 14 so I’m a bit leaner. I wil try and be a bit more active in this post with the hopes of reaching my goal by New Years Eve.

No more big and short department for me

My god, I never knew how bad I looked:(! I have a good wife for not kicking my fat ass out the door

AWESOME results man!! Keep it up!

Awesome job!!, keep it up

Thanks everyone! The first few days were killer but it got much easier to diet over the past 3 months. Plus seeing the results really helps to motivate me. Down 3 pants sizes already, close to 4.

Here is a closeup from today, Wife groomed the eyebrows :

Today was a prime example of me and heat not getting along. It was 94 degrees with 40% humidity. Went for a 2.7m walk outside - got over heated and I have had a terrible headache all day and have not been able to cool down. Freaking blows...

I watched a Weather Channel show about how different weather conditions impact on athletics & olympic sports. They talked about athletes in the heat as one topic & said the athletes can take a capsule to monitor core temp. But with all out technology guess what they use to bring down core temps?.....................an Icy or Slurpy. I remembered that when I got overheated at C5 Fest with the high heat, humidity, no AC in the cars when racing, having to wear long pants & a helmet............lets just say it was not a recipe that worked very well for me. So, diet be damed, I went & got me an icy! It worked. Just FYI. Hope you feel better soon.

[bossbunny]

Thanks! Yeah I heard that too! It would be cool to have one of those capsules to know. I had really old water waiting in the car and then we went and jumped in the cold springs which is 68 degrees. That helped a little but my headache didn't get better till about an hour ago. I know it's weird. My Dads the same way, our veins just don't expand enough, and we get heat exhaustion.

Here is some pics of me and my sister goofing off before our workout.

I think that 30-40 mins of double unders Tues did me in.

Overtraining Hopefully the weekend off did you some good. If you REALLY don't want to take the week off, which I still would suggest, you might consider to do one week with JUST lifting and no cardio of any kind. That would help reduce some of the stress your body is taking that's making you feel like that. A week won't kill you, and you'll probably come back stronger than you are now I take a week (or sometimes even two) about every 12-14 weeks just for some solid recovery time. It really makes me feel better, and I get back in with even more drive, focus, and motivation than I had before the break.

Okay, getting frustrated now. I guess I may have to give up on losing the rest of the tummy. Now I'm getting too skinny in places that well............ look better not so skinny. Trade-offs I guess. So...................now I need to stop losing weight. I need to figure this out as I do not want to put any weight back on. I suppose I still need to add more weight work & cut back on the aerobic stuff. Maybe add back in a few calories? any guidance?
