    Great job. with regards to the elbow injury, often when lifting weights on a regular basis, fibre builds up in your shoulder muscles resulting in pain in your elbow. try placing a hard tennis or cricket ball in a stocking, throw it over your shoulder and pressing against the wall, massage the ball between your shouler blade by squatting up and down. do this as often as you can, several times a day. you'll find this massage will loosen the fibres and ease the elbow pain...:wink:

    I was not weighing myself for first couple of months (took a while to get on the scales as I knew it was going to be bad) but in since I have been tracking it about 30 pounds. If I had to guess I think you could add another 10-12 pounds on to that number.

    Awesome job! You look so much younger now, which is kinda funny because you seemed younger in your before pictures. I don't know if I'm explaining it well, but you just look different. Kudos!!
  • Great Job!

    Big difference!

    Fasting is definitely a great way to get out of stagnancy and it is healthy for us if done right. I am surprised that you are fasting breakfast. That would be the hardest one to fast because if to eat protein for breakfast it would give energy for the day and make you feel full longer. If to fast a meal, the dinner would be it.

    Well I dont tend to find it a problem as I have never been a fan of breakfast. I fast from 8pm till noon the next day. It has been a real help when losing. I know its not for everyone but worked great for me, plus ther are all the other health benefits too.

    Thank to all of you guys has really helped me start to think logically and stop thinking daft stuff.
