    You look fantastic! Just keep up your lifestyle and your body will change to what it needs to be. I doubt you need to lose more weight, just tone.

    (PS - you look like one of my EMT instructors from last semester... Do you by chance live in California? lol)

    Good job dude...I reached my first goal a couple weeks ago and same boat for me. My new goal is 15% BF...with my current LBM that means another 18 Lbs of fat has to go. My plan right now is to go really slow. I've upped my calories to just 100 calories less than what my maintenance calories will be at my next goal weight and I'm really focusing in on my lifting now. It's going to be a long slog...I'm estimating about 9 months, but I think I'm going to be awesome when I get there.

    Congrats and keep it up.

    My husband is 47, and we started using Insanity last year. He was only using the elliptical every day for his exercise before that. Well since we started Insanity back in October, his abs are pretty much a six pack and the old man booty is starting to perk up. We completed the whole program, and still use it 3-5 times a week to really get the definition in our bodies.

    Awesome work thus far. What a change! Abs are all about BF%, all six will start to show around 10-12%, so eating at a deficit will help the cut. Keep up the awesome work.

    you look great to me (and younger too!) but i can understand not being fully satisfied (yet).

    be kind to yourself though, and applaud your own efforts. you have to be your biggest fan first and foremost. not your worst enemy.

    Great job so far. From everything I've been reading, perhaps you should do 3 full body workouts every week instead. There is a great group here that would be perfect for you. I'm sure they could offer you good advice to get you where you really want to be.

    Good luck to you.

    The first part of your story sounded a lot like mine - the injury setbacks. It makes you appreciate when you were young when your body could bounce back from injuries in no time. Good luck on finding the rest of those abs. I'm sure you'll get there. I'd be happy to have just one! Peace!

    Thanks for the comments guys n gals....so thankful to all my mfp buddies too. I think I would be ok if for some reason mfp crashed now but, when I was fighting back from the injuries...I had that support that kept me wanting more.

    You are doing great! Keep it up! I've only been doing it for 3 weeks (headed towards a month) and I can tell a difference. Happy for you! Also, GO RAZORBACKS! :) Love your tracker!
