I'm getting to where I want to be, and wouldn't have been able to pull it off without the ability to track my food / exercise on here! Not to mention all the great pointers and motivation I've received from all of you directly and indirectly from the boards. Hopefully, these pics will get one person one step closer to their goals! I've got another 6 weeks or so until I get to my goal and go into maintenance (i.e. 400 more cals a day!) mode. Thanks again for all the help!

    218 was my max...and that picture was right around there. Wish I would have done body fat testing then to have a clearer picture!!! Keep at it, it's doable!

    Dang!! You look awesome! What have you been doing?

    Thanks...my workout consists of a 3 day lifting split (Push, Pull, Legs), with reps of 6-10 x 3 sets of 3 exercises per body part. Blend of compound movements and focused movements. Added in 15 minutes of HIIT cardio before and after my strength workouts. On my 3 off days, I did 45-90 minutes of cardio at a lower intensity. Took one day a week off, or if I felt I was overtraining two days off.

    Work on eating very "clean" (lots of brown rice, chicken breasts, egg beaters) during the week, and giving myself a 'free day' from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning...eating whatever I want. (Similar to the old Body for Life concept.) One other thing that helped me immensely was eating the same thing for breakfast every day without fail. (Worked out a 400 cal breakfast with a great blend of carbs and protein that I really enjoyed eating.) Lunches became "fuel breaks" not meals - ate very clean foods - turkey breast, kidney beans, egg whites, brown rice, etc. with an occasional Subway sandwich mixed in. Then my dinners were much more creative and more flexible, but smart.

    That's about it...just took a mind change. If I can help ANYBODY out there, please add me and message me, I want to make sure I can help out anybody who wants it.

    First of all - Thank you for all the kind words. If I'd known I'd get such a great response from so many people, that would have been motivation in and of itself!!! Can't wait for my pics in 6 weeks! Thanks again, but couldn't have done it without the initial boost from everyone on here. Happy to pay it forward, if I can help, just add me as a friend and shoot me a message! Thanks!!!

    First of all, you're too kind, thank you. I really just incorporated abs into my cardio days, and did some very basic work... Most results came from squats I think, really helped my core. Once the fat starts coming off, I was amazed at was was under it!!!
