#1 Posted: 12/14/2010 10:09:55 AM I am 6' 2" but weights 249. I have been an avid weight lifter for nearly twenty years now but in my zest to add more and more weight I have not done my fair share of cardio so I am going to shed some fat and hopefully get down to about 10% or less body fat. My wife feels the need to lose some weight so we figured that we would do a body fat loss contest.
So between now and May 15, 2011 I will track our progress once a week and post it here so everyone can keep us (really me because I will not know how my wife is doing until the end) accountable! |

#2 Posted: 12/14/2010 10:22:05 AM This is a great idea, jesron. Whenever someone goes on a diet, you have a 40% better chance of sticking with it, if you do it with somebody else.
I wish you and your wife nothing but the best in your endeavor.......

I haven't weighed myself yet. I will do it once a week as well as test my body fat content. I will update on Wednesday. The real test for me is if I can watch my games without beer (my favorite weakness). So far so good. BOL! |

LOL!
P45x
I am coming off of a back surgery and need to get back into shape... but I looked at the P90x video and I know some of the exercises and stretching would probably do more harm then good at this point...
