12 Weeks over...... Wooo hooooo!!!!

clandress Posts: 94 Joined: 2003/09/21	2004/02/23, 09:47 AM Hey guys, posted my 12 week photo along side my start photo and here is the bottom line. In 12 weeks, I've lost 31 lbs of fat, gained 7 lbs of muscle, and went from a size 38" waist to a size 31" waist (I can just about squeeze my bug butt into a 30 which is my goal). You guys have been instrumental in helping me with my dumb questions and I want to thank each and everyone of you guys. I cant tell you how much this has changed my life for the better. 12 more weeks till Labor day and my goal is Abs for summer. I say bring it on. -------------- If your muscle wont allow you to do the last few reps, make your mind and heart do it. Your muscles will thank them later.

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

Your questions are not dumb, they would have been if you hadn't asked, because you wouldn't have gotten the correct answer and still not known. Cant wait to see your ab pics by Labor day!:dumbbell: -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

I feel guilty everytime I drink a soda or eat fries from a fast food resturant. Like I just set myself back 2 days or the upper body routine I did the previous day was canceled out by my bad decisions on food intake. But its an awsome feeling. Its the complete feeling of control. It's almost indescribeable but very very rewarding. I no longer walk, I strut :). I find myself lifting my shirt to wipe my brow and I often put my arms behind my head when I lay on the couch just to see if my bi's and tri's look any different from the previous day. I still cant beleive I did all this and actually enjoy it now..... Awsome is the only word to describe it :) ============ Quoting from charlie826: Great job man. You look great. How do you feel???

One more thing, do dipilatory creams work for getting rid of bodyhair. I wanna loose the fur for this summer and shaving does horrible things to my complexion. ============ Quoting from hecdarec: I see you went and got a tattoo while you were at it! ============= -------------- If your muscle wont allow you to do the last few reps, make your mind and heart do it.
