Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Merced, There is one word, in my mind, that best captures the progress revealed by your before and after pictures: WOW! Great job! You look terrific. And the photography for your after shots is very professional. I will be showing your pictures to my wife Cherita shortly. We always benefit from others' inspirational examples - and yours is definitely inspirational.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 okay people... here are my befores and afters. I can't believe I'm showing you my befores, I thought I would never dare show them to anyone.... =)but, since I haven't met any of you in person, I figured you can't see me blush. I guess, there is a bit of a change after a 17.5 fat loss and a 5.6 lb muscle gain... I'm still not where I wanna be, so I've already signed up for the second challenge. Here ya go!!!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Wow Merced, You look gorgeous. Well done. You look completely transformed and so happy! Great leg definition and I love the pic of you flexing your arms from the back. Did you have your afters done professionally? Leaner.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 > , > > You are a sweetheart. Thanks so much for the compliment. You know, I'm sure > you've made more progress than you think you have made. Take some pics... I > thought I hadn't changed much till I saw my befores. > The compliment was horribly inadequate but I think you got the gist of it. You did so incredibly well - I'm sure you're on cloud 9! Well I know I've changed a bit. My pants are super loose (I can fit into a pair 2 sizes smaller) but it's not really evident from view or on the scale (but the scale is evil so we won't even think about it). However, I've only got a few weeks left in this challenge and I know I won't come anywhere near to achieving my goals. It's disappointing but at the same time I've learned a lot. So this challenge is basically a warm-up for me. I've had time to figure out what works and what doesn't, time to get used to hitting the gym every day and time to begin learning how to eat healthy. I'll start another one October 1st (I don't get back from vacation till september 17th). What I'm definately going to need is someone to help me with meal planning. I did ok in the nutrition department but I know I could have done a lot better and I'm 100% sure that it's why I didn't lose as much fat as I could have (or put on as much lean mass as I could have). I've got all these " authorized recipes " and stuff but I'm a pretty busy guy - cooking time is limited. I need help to set up like a weekly food schedule - if I have it I'll stick to it. Otherwise I get home from work (usually after my workout), look in the fridge (seeing nothing appetizing) and end up having something I probably shouldn't. > Best of luck. Keep me posted on your progress. > > Merced > Thanks. I still have time to reach my goals... I promised myself that 2000 would be the year I reinvent myself. Starting a new challenge oct 1 will be the way I end up doing it. Wanna know my secret goal? Someday... I want to be in an inspirational photo in MuscleMedia. =B-) Again, congrats on your success. You look incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
