    I have been told by several people that I need a tan, it looks like you could use one as well. Luckily the weather is warming up!

    Good job.

    LOL, you guys are too funny.

    TAN??? It's March, there's no tanning in march in New England! Plus, I had the flash on, the flash makes everyone look white.

    I love my triceps in the last pictures, they are really getting defined.

    Banks, do we have to worry about you walking around, making a point of saying things like "The desk is over THERE..." Or "Welcome to the GUN SHOW..."? I can almost picture it now...:tongue:

    You do look fantastic. And as for earlier comments you made about maybe not being able to see a big difference between your 6-month pics... Are ya crazy?! HUGE changes in definition... You're doing awesome, and look like you're ready for becoming a certified trainer.:drinker:

    Well thanks Miss, oh, God, I laughed out loud at my desk. Gun show. LOL. I'm far to selfconcious to ever do something like that. But yeah, give it another month, to month and a half and I'm gonna get my cert (cross your fingers).

    LOL, you'd need a home gym, a computer, a 2 way microphone, and a webcam, cuz I only teach people I can see and yell at! I tend to follow the Jillian path as opposed to the Bob path (there's no sunshine and roses in my training, it's all red faced, screaming, and a lot of people calling me really nasty names) :tongue:

    banks--would you mind checking out another thread and sharing your knowledge? or maybe you and songbyrd and kerri and other veterans? it's about being hungrier on non-workout days.
    thanks!
