Coming up on one year post 45lb weight loss. Have put five pounds lean muscle on, and am pretty comfortable @ 163. ABS starting to show, but not sure if i'm going to push to get ripped or spend my energy on other interests; but, it's nice to have kept the weight off, improve muscle condition...

FYI The Onyx will work for personal use but it's designed for patient care; that is, for it to be placed on a patient finger and then read by the person standing in front of the patient; so the numbers will look upside-down to you unless you curl your finger so that you can read it or just read...

How to get a 6pack?

I have a light dip and crunch set that's part of my morning wake-up routine, nothing special, just something to get me out of my haze. My brother-in-law saw a picture of me a few months ago and asked how the hell I got my abs. I told him that they were there all along, just covered by fat...

Pictures of me topless. Make fun of me if I don't improve!

True Agreed. I simply made up my mind to not let eating-out derail my interests; and as you said Koing, most places are not only fine but will gladly accommodate. Depending on where you eat out, simply a comment to the Chef can have them making you something healthier (and delicious) that's...

45lb Weight Loss - Yeah baby!!

I know a couple people who made a drastic change to achieve a goal and then learned how to change their lifestyle to maintain it; but I know that I couldn't go that route. I think they fought harder than I had to for the same amount of progress, and I am quite comfortable with my lifestyle...

45lb Weight Loss - Yeah baby!!

Thanks again ye appreciators of healthiness and goals achieved! Decided to NOT buy a riding lawnmower as I already have a nice Honda walk behind and I get some decent cardio if I full on push w/out the drive engaged. Would be nice to drop the mowing time but for this year anyway I'm...

Gym fashion and style

I shelled for nice pair of running shoes because most of the shoes on the market don't accomodate my level of supination. Otherwise it's Champion\ProSpirit clothes; nothing special. I've eyed some nice outfits, especially now that I'm in good shape, but just can't seem to pull the trigger on...

45lb Weight Loss - Yeah baby!!

Thanks all! Really feels good. Have actually staved off an immediate need for knee surgery as I'm not holding up as much weight. It's fun to cross paths with people who haven't seen me in a while. Perhaps one of the best benefits though is that I can now keep up with my four kids and hot...

Handstand

I can do one slow, controlled, muscle up HSPU from a cross-legged sitting position; but I'm spent after that. Have C6&7 degenerative discs which put pressure on my nerves when doing HSPU's so not sure how many wall or freestanding could otherwise do.
