Thanks, I'm still workin' on it

The thing that's frustrating is it's hard to get a reliable body fat reading. I don't believe the body comp scale, I guess I believe the calipers, and the Navy bodyfat method isn't great for me because as I've lost fat around my waist I've also lost it from my neck so the % doesn't change LOL (yeah, I'm one of those guys who gets the big head and jowls if I gain too much weight)

Still Chippin' Away



I had to get past a mental block about being under 200 lbs. and now it looks like I'll end up under 190 before I reach my goal seeing as I'm 191 here (at least first thing in the morning I am). My abs are flexed in this pic. I want them to be visible without flexing. I think I may only have a few lbs to go, what do you think?

Hey, in your avatar you have a tribal arm band on your right arm, but in your current pic it's gone. Did you have it removed or did you have one of those temporary tats from a Carnival Cruise?

This pic is in the mirror, hence you see the camera in my hand, goofball

It's actually a Polynesian style tat with a tiki god and hibiscus flowers I got in Hawaii , not a tribal, you can't see much detail with my crappy camera though

hahaha thats funny pay attention g8r80

seriously though great progress

g8r80 I thought you were calling me?

New progress pics @ 189 lbs

Nice work, you are really looking lean and strong! You weathered the holidays quite well, friend! Keep it up!

Thanks, I'm getting there.

I didn't really eat any differently through the holidays

Then you fared better than me...I just couldn't say no to turkey, stuffing, and gravy!!!

LOL, my secret weapon is my wife. She's a good cook and knows what I can and will eat. She made turkey breast, wild rice "stuffing" (just wild rice with celery and onions) , homemade cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. I really didn't miss out on anything

Oh nicely done, that does sound real good!

Abs looking any more defined?

The lighting in this pic isn't as flattering on my arms, but this is about the best my abs look

Abs def more defined great results what`s your weight now man???

185, the last ones were at 189. The first pics in this thread were at about 210

I weigh myself in the morning, unclothed, before eating anything and after using the bathroom.....so add 5-7 lbs for my weight clothed with food in my system.

My plan for now is to bounce between around 185-195 in mini-bulks and cuts to gradually get leaner without dropping any more weight
