Fuck yes dude! That's exactly what I like to see! Self control and discipline combined with a little motivation always produces results! My results haven't been anywhere near this great, but I have went from 225 a year ago to 198 today, and I'm working on trying to drop about 5-10 more before May! I will post some pictures later if I get the chance. :) Again fantastic stuff man and keep it up!!

Any team could simply put 7 players between SS and 3B and make an easy out on you...LOL....

Kombat Nazi, however, thinks that pitchers are his personal bowling pins.

closer to 7 left fielders but yea, true :)

lol Kombat Nazi... He was ALWAYS good for 2 things, A) Getting hurt some how some way (but never serious enough to leave the game) and B) Attack the ump.

Well, I've been working out isometrically for a while now. Crunches, pushups, squats. I also do the stationary bike when I have time at the end of the night... 23 minute sessions.

I used to actually have a Weider universal weight unit in my house, but when I moved out it stayed. I may be moving it to my job though.



Today, I bought the Aylio Ultimate Resistance Band Set. I don't have the room at my house for the Weider, so this is a really good alternative.

 
I almost want to participate in this just to further guilt myself into sticking to a solid workout regimen. Weekly pictures that I only look at once every like 3 months maybe so the changes in my body become more apparent? Usually I just go whenever I feel like and bike for some random amount of time... last night was 38 minutes at a resistance setting of 10 out of a max of 20... only went like 8 miles and only burned like 300 calories though. Is that even any good? It seems low :\

Of course mega props to Phil for his progress. It's awesome to see how much you've lost already.

23 mins for me is about 5 miles and 180 calories on a 7 out of 10 setting depending. I also get to choose which course the bike will follow, so it simulates different inclines, terrain, etc... so I change it regularly, but 5 miles/180 calories seems to be my average, so I'd say you're pretty much on a similar pace.

I will say, using myfitnesspal and making my diary public is very sobering. Every day I, and everyone else, get to see exactly what I ate that day. It makes me accountable. The pictures show the progress too. It's good seeing a visual of the change because day to day you barely notice it, but when you see the change in picture form, you can REALLY see changes.
 
I'll have to look into starting my own account there. The whole forcing yourself to be accountable bit really gets me interested :)

Phil, which do you find harder; exercise itself or the diet that you have to follow?
