    Wow, that's amazing - wish I could get my hubby (currently bigger than your before pic) to take the plunge?
    Was there something that did it for you?

    Great job. What kind of workouts are you doing?

    Initially, I was just one of the guys that showed up to the gym and goofed off for an hour, not really knowing at all what I was doing. But after reading up on some things, particularly a link a friend gave me: http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html then I started getting it.

    I did the "Couch-to-5k" program, then after I was able to do 5k a night I just started running 6 nights a week, taking sundays off. Nothing too heavy, just a jog to keep me moving, although as I got lighter I kept getting faster :D

    Other than the serious cardio, I lifted weights mon, wed, and friday. After a while, because of my calorie deficit, I stopped getting stronger, but noticed definition in places I never saw it before, and plus from what I read, lifting burns a ton of calories, and combined with cardio, it's like turning your metabolism into a blast furnace.

    Now, I do it all because it's fun

    Chicken and broccoli, chicken and broccoli, chicken and broccoli.
    You look great!
    I had to laugh at this - it is the same way at my house. I buy the family packs of boneless skinless breasts and fill the freezer with the steamfresh bags of broccoli. I usually season up the entire package of chicken at once (different spice mixes rubbed onto each breast, no oil) and bake them all together at once then portion them out into individual servings and put in those ziploc containers. That way I have several days of meals prepared and ready to grab.
    Great job!!

    To be honest I have a different answer for everyone, but it's rarely true.. I don't really know what my motivation was. If you asked me the day I put my old running shoes on, I still couldn't tell you.
