I have been working out since November of 2009. I stopped drinking beer but really didnt focus to much on dieting.

first 4 months I did pure cardio. (run 1.5 mile on a tread mill, 30 mins eliptical, 1 mile run on a track, 15 mins arm bicycle) I didn't want to do weight lifting because I thought i'd "bulk up"

This helped me slowly loose weight but i was still pretty flabby. I pulled a leg muscle and had to stop doing cardio for awhile.
I found some weight lifting programs and after alot of searching I finally set on one that took 1-2 hrs a day at the game.
start weight: 265
current: 220
goal 190
body fat % : 20%
Now for the pics

    It was just a water perm for the party. He put the rods in and jsut used some water and gell to make it look like a big rat nest. I went bar hopping like that too.
