Thanks. I took some new pictures last night after my workout. I’m pumped up and they turned out decent enough, except for my dirty ass garage. I was wondering when I take progress photo’s,Should I take them after weight training when I’m pumped or does that just look stupid? I will post the new pics tonight when I get home from work. I see more progress so I’m kinda stoked!
I took these last night after my Upper Body work out. Try not to laugh too hard. Wanted to show the legs as well.
One more, I look so retarded flexing.

Ok, I’ve been lurking and have posted a couple times but I wanted to introduce myself, and give a little background about me. Here it goes.
I became interested in fitness in High school where I was on the swim team, I swam 3 years and was in what I considered top physical shape. I was around 5% body fat and 150 lbs @ 5’8".
I joined the Marine corps and entered boot camp 1 month after graduating from high school. Boot camp really put some muscle on my bones, I left boot camp at 162 lbs and ripped, even more so than after years of swimming. My PFT was 20 dead hang pull-ups, 110 sit-ups, and a 19 minute 3 mile run. I kept that up for the first 2 years I was in the USMC.
Then I injured my knee had some surgery and it’s never been the same. Needless to say I gained a bunch of weight and didn’t really have any motivation to get it off. Let’s fast forward to present day cause I’m sure most of you fell asleep back there.
January 2, 2006 at 210 lbs,5’8", and I would say at least 25% body fat I started the Body For Life program, I had done this program in the past with some sucess and knew that it worked for me. Now I’ve been reading here and I know a lot of people here do not like the BFL program but honestly without I would not have even started working out. I half assed the program didn’t do hardly any of hte workouts but ate pretty clean and lost about 17 lbs of fat.
Now I started my offical BFL challenge on March 26 at 195 lbs and around 20% body fat, I have 5 weeks left and I’m down to 185 lbs but my body fat is not really dropping which kinda irks me. I was trying to track my calories but being married with 4 kids and working full time it was hard to find time.
My goals include finishing this 12 weeks,getting down to 10% body fat and losing 25 lbs of fat. I thought this was acheivable but like I said my body fat is just stagnent even with my weight loss. I’m still happy with my progress though after reading articles here, I have had some good muscular gains in my arms,back,shoulders,and legs.
I plan on starting Chad Waterbury’s TBT AFTER I finish my 12 weeks of BFL. I know I’m gonna get the start it now but finishing the 12 weeks is a goal and I will finish. I’m not so much concerned with my weight loss goals anymore as long as I get ripped.
I eat clean and have at least 6 small meals a day, I usually get in 7, 3 of which are protein shakes. Supplements I am using are Spike (WOW great supplement, better than any EAS puts out), NO-Xplode,Cell Mass, ON Whey, multi vitamin, and CLA. I am averaging about 1500-1700 calories a day and about 180g of protein a day. I feel great and will look great.
Any advice and tips are very welcome, and I will post some photo’s of my fat ass when I get home from work. I know the visual references are great and I’m not ashamed to share them.

Well, I finished my Body for Life challenge with some decent results. Down to 185lbs @ approx. 15% body fat. I’ve since started CW’s TBT and am loving it! I had some decent muscle gains and I can now feel the density of my biceps and other muscles which is alot cooler than the flab I was feeling. I’m also going to start on the new Cheaters Diet as I have some more fat to lose cause my spare tire is still there.
Excellent! Good job on completing the challenge and good luck on TBT.
Feel free to PM me about the Cheater’s Diet. I have been doing it since the first go round and am liking the results.
