I never had the guts to take before pics because I didn't want them around in case I failed. I know people say that doing that helps with motivation, but I never wanted to take the chance. Like the rest of you, I wish I had now.

See you there for sure! I gained a lot of weight just over 12 years ago when I went from a job unloading trucks to a sit-down job at a computer. It seems like it just sneaks up on you. Once I made the conscious decision to get into shape, it wasn't easy to stay motivated. The real trick is...

Morning Fellas! "Boot Camp" HIIT tonight.

I love mine. I actually have 3. One is a stand alone with a water-filled base, one is the regular canvas hanging type, and the third is a 100 pounder that I use to practice throws as well as ground work.

That's great! Keep up the good work!!

I have my regular gym that I've been going to for awhile now. I recently joined the gym here at work for those days when I can't get to my other gym (and for the times that I find myself with a few hours to kill during the day) and I also have some equipment at home for the days when I can't...

Craigslist can be a big help in finding cheap workout equipment for home use.

The unfortunate reality of my situation is that my wife and I divorced recently so I have more time to myself. I used to spend a lot of that time seeing movies and such, but made the decision to spend that free time more wisely and started hitting all of the classes my gym had to offer in the...

Well, back on the horse this week... did chest and tri's @ the work gym yesterday afternoon and did a medium intensity run for 40 minutes on the treadmill last night. Feeling the good kind of sore this morning.

Yikes, that's scary stuff... I've felt very close to passing out in the early days of doing HIIT, but I always knew to stop myself before trying to push it too hard. Hope it doesn't happen again my friend. Bad weekend for me... not terrible, but still not great. Oh well, it's the start of...

Training is going well... like you, I'm 5'8" and as of yesterday, I'm down to 173. Trying to tone up and lost fat right now. Will hit the heavier weights come fall and winter.

That's a keeper... gotta search one of those out.

I gave up soda a long time ago. I'll get a craving for it every once in a great while, but as soon as I take one sip, the craving is gone. Also, having grown up with a nut allergy, I never really gained a taste for baked goods or sweets because I could never take the chance on things...

I don't plan my cheat day, I just take things as they come. If I know there's potential for me to eat poorly or drink on a given night, I'll make sure I kill it beforehand at the gym to maintain at the very least. I've always found it to be true that the more results you see, the easier it...

A lot of protein shakes, yogurt, mashed sweet potatoes, oatmeal. Morning fellas... Fell off the wagon a little bit yesterday. Met a friend for some beers after work. I'll consider that my cheat day and try to be good for the rest of the week.

Did chest and tri's this morning at the work gym. Eggs for dinner. Now watching some UFC Unleashed.

Got back from "Boot Camp" class about an hour ago... still feeling it. Very HIIT.

I spent much of Saturday at the beach and almost the entire afternoon yesterday at my parents' pool... I have to tell you, it feels nice not to be embarrassed to take my shirt off. I'm not in perfect shape by any stretch, but I've come a ways since last summer.

Good point! It is quite the test of agility.
