Hello!! I have hit a bit of a (2 month!) plateau which I think I am coming out of, I don't know yet as I have refused to weigh in for a month!! lol

Anyway it has got to me a little but a friend of mine reminded me how far I have come and to appreciate that!

I want everyone to list some of their best accomplishments so far, no matter how little they may seem to others, as long as they mean a lot to you.

We all need to take a step back sometimes and just look at what we have achieved!

Ok so I guess I better go first!

> I have lost 66lbs
> I have dropped 4 Jean sizes
> I have visible muscles
> I have not touched alcohol in nearly 9 months.

YOUR TURN!! :smile:

Ben.

    I've shed over 100 pounds since mid September 2010

    I've cut my Body Fat from around 55% to around 26%

    I improved my resting heart rate from 110 (way too high) to 55 (very healthy)

    I went from a 24W to a 10 in pants and from an XXL to a Small (or even Extra Small sometimes) in shirts

    I went from a 45.5" waist to a 29" waist

    *****My #1 best accomplishment*****
    I have confidence that I am setting a positive example for my family and friends!

    Ben.

    WOW - the last time I was off alcohol for 9 months, I was pregnant...

    This is great because I'm kinda sitting here feeling sorry for myself since I've injured my knee...So here goes.

    I've committed to Crossfit - 14 months/5 days a week now
    I've lost 34 pounds
    I'm still struggling with hypertension and insulin resistance, but that drives me to get healthier.
    While my measurements haven't really changed, my body composition has
    I can deadlift 250 lbs, Strict Press 98, back squat 185, front squat 150 and clean 115
    I'm happier
    I bought daisy dukes this summer, and 5 bikinis
