NEW YEARS RESOLUTION WEIGHT LOSS THREAD

[25thanniversary]

I must disagree that it's muscle gain, it is vertually impossible to gain that much muscle in such a short period of time even with the use of steroids.[/QUOTE]



I know it's not muscle i was just trying to keep the guy motivated so he wont quit his workout. Anyway I am back to my diet been having some family problems. But they all turned out to be fine and I lost 4 more pounds and I started my 2nd phase of P90X today.

Honestly, I didn't start a food journal last week. I gotta get started on that. I'm sure you're right...I'm either eating more than I think I am, eating the wrong things or not eating enough!

You're sticking with it and being accountable...that's the most important step. You can do it

I washed my car yesterday, that was my workout. Junkman's car washing technique is a workout in itself. When I went to the gym today, my muscles were screaming at me, "What...really.....we just worked out yesterday"

I have been challenged by my daughter. We found a pair of Wrangler Jeans I bought a couple of years ago, no way either one of us can wear them now...so whoever can wear them first gets to keep them!

I lost 15 pounds in january and my wife hit 40 since june.
that is all

P90X is pretty tough.

Dieting can really suck..... REALLY suck.

Weight lifting is hard and tedious.

Photo shop makes things sooooo much easier...........




Ok. Today I put my hat in the ring. I start my trimdown and cut up.

Weight this morning at 180 on the nose. Took some pics. None I'll post here til Im done. BTW, me and Bonnie have a totaly different philosophy.

Was 223lbs on New Years. Need to get under 200 for my Jamaica vacation in April. So far I have lost 15 lbs but put 2 back on Totalling 13 lb lost. Just doing the atkins thing. Works great for me just have to go gradually back to carbs or all weight comes right back. Should be at 200 by the middle or end of this month.

girlie, you need to add more lat pulls and lower back into this routine based on pics. looks like you could row a tugboat though, nice thick mid back. lats and lower need to bring up a little to even things out with mid.

Great starting pics though!!! once you see 3% bf, you will be like OMG, bring me a pizza!! ...lol, sorry couldn't help myself.

it can if you put that amount of dedication into it. we all start somewhere and make our own path to the finish line. Keep working it hard and this can be you.
