Whoa!!

Go Michael!!

You are doing awesome!
I try to stay on the treadmill longer than 20 minutes but my knees start to hurt but I can walk almost an hour outdoors... I don't get it.

Anywho... please keep us posted on your progress.

Keep it up!!

way to go michael! we all need encouragement. when i began following the menu on abcrunch.com i began to get great results from my workouts. it suggests you eat six small meals everyday and to drink at least 8 oz of water each time. there is a shopping list which i liked and you have a different menu plan for 5 different weeks. most people don't have that much variety in their diets. i have been on it for 90 days. now i am becoming interested in calorie shifting. tricking your body into keeping your metabolism on high throttle by changing the number of calories every few days. i am looking for a menu plan that does that. in the meantime cardio burns fat and tones and weight lifting builds muscle so even while at rest your body will burn fat.
