Hi everyone,

Well I've worked up the courage to do this... I figure I can document changes here... this picture is from not too long ago on a vacation. head is cut off, and color is modified for anonymity sake.

I am hoping to get more toned and a little leaner for next vacation, by November.

Let me know any thoughts... criticism is appreciated!! It'll motivate me... in terms of timeline... you think I can get that tone, fit body (especially abs) for November?

i think you look pretty good although photo quality isn't great...you could easily get a "6 pack" by november and you look lean already so you'll need to be pretty strict w/ your diet and exercise as the closer to your goal you are the harder and longer it will take to actually get there

sorry, quality is an issue, I couldn't find a better full body picture... I am going to start taking them deliberately...

I know... right now it feels as if I have hit a plateau, and it is extremely frustrating... I feel like I am soooo close, but it's just that last extra bit which is stubborn!

I've been told abs are 70% diet, 30% weights/cardio... true or myth?

closer to 80% dietbut you need the right type of training too

I think you're doing okay, so don't apologise for anything.

I also see no reason, why you can't achieve pretty much what you want. Hang in there and good luck

You look pretty damn good. I'm like close to twice your hips. I don't think I can lose 'em...

What sort of program do you follow? Food you eat? I'd like to know..if you don't mind!!!

viewtopic.php?t=3196---> Diet

viewtopic.php?t=3178---> Work Out

problem is I've always been in around this body type/size/weight... I've neve rbeen much bigger, max 5-10 lbs bigger, but I've also never been much smaller (aside from when I was shorter, younger, etc)...

So I don't know how long and if ever I will get that perfect body I want... It's FRUSTRATING!

Eh..me either..I've been the same exact for the past 2 years, maybe 3...which is a good thing...but shape changes around the hips and , depending on activity level...not even food.

I noticed with body, food is not the REAL issue. Activity is (with or without working out.)

Now;
food been crappy for the past week.
activity is there, but with no workout since Sunday..

but...I'm still the same shape, a light , just cuz of bathroom...and
i actually dropped a little weight...=S!
