    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!!!

    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.

    I did Body for Life before kids and had great results. After kids, it is much harder to follow! LOL What was your breakfast? I'm always looking for a good carb/protein mix in the morning. I'm a big fan of HIIT workouts, congrats again on being so close to your goal!

    Love the attitude too and that's really where it all starts...looking in the mirror one day and deciding...no more! I remember that day long ago and I refuse to ever go back!

    You look amazing! It's just something about a Man's Toned Body that makes us girls wanna Stop & Stare :blushing: :laugh: :tongue: You've worked hard for this & it's obviously paying off! I could look at you all day long. hehehehhe.

    We don't see guys pics of before & after as much as Ladies here on MFP but I gotta say it's the toned bod that speaks volume over actually weight loss (don't you think ladies?) remember Boss's posts?

    Your on it:drinker: Good Job!
