REMEMBER TO LEAVE YOUR PINK FLOYD STORY ON YESTERDAY'S POST BELOW IF YOU WANT TO WIN THE NEW DAVID GILMOUR LIVE IN GDANSK CD. WINNERS ANNOUNCED TOMORROW! YUP WINNERS - I WILL BE GIVING BOTH AWAY....
Well, this is not your normal usage for HNT, but what the hell...
OK, so I might really regret this, but I have discussed it on a few posts in numbers so I might as well show it in pictures...
Ya'll know I have been working out and watching my diet for the last two months. I began on July 20th and I have seen some great results. I have a target of 175 from my high of 198.
Let's look at the numbers one more time...
JULY 20: 198.7 pounds 29.5% Body Fat
AUGUST 22: 195.3 pounds 26.6% Body Fat
SEPTEMBER 02: 192.2 pounds no new body fat measurement
SEPTEMBER 16: 186.3 pounds no new body fat measurement
Now for the photographic proof. While Mom Joan was here I overheard her talking to my Sister Lynn and I guess sis asked how I looked with my new routine. Mom's reply was "He is looking good and things are moving around."
I guess these photos illustrate that point.

It is not totally accurate as my arm was not in the same position and Nancy did not take it from the exact same spot, but I held the back as a constant and it does give a decent representation.
Besides the "Marini Belly" (it is a hereditary thing...I really do not have a lot of weight anywhere else but there), I see more definition in my arms and legs...
Here is the weight tracking from the site myplate.com:

looking great~~~~you are doing such an awesome job on your new you~
Congrats!
I actually did 5 pushups this weekend before I had to stop because it was hurting my shoulder. But that was encouraging because I haven't been able to do any in so long.
Keep it up!
Want tips on how not to gain it back when you quit smoking?
No... I'm not letting up.
OK, so I'm not gettin' this half nekkid for nobody, and certainly not the entire planet via the internet. However I do admire your progress. I have similar success with weight loss, except that I started about 100 pounds north of you and I need to finish about where you started.
Congratulations and keep it up.
Keep up the good work Vinny. It wasn't your Marini Belly that ruined my breakfast as much as it was those boxers. Cheers!!
CHARLENE: Thanks
TRAVIS: Thanks buddy...Hey five is more than you could do before..that is progress...sorry the shoulder is still keeping you from going harder.
ANNDI: I think I have tips covered...thanks
DRILLERAA: Well, I understand and it is more about progress of the blob than HNT anyway Thanks
That is awesome. I've got to get back on that same horse for a while.
Happy HNT
MATT-MAN: Just some joe boxers for sleeping in at times...
TURNBABY: TY my sweet friend...
Good luck with that. You're off to a good start.
Vinny!! Excellent job!!
This is such a challenging process and you are conquering it quite well!!
You're doing awesome, Vin. Keep it up! Oh, and I'm with Anndi - QUIT SMOKING!!!!!!!!
That is all.
RWA: Thanks ... feeling good so far
DANA: TY my friend...
SONGBIRD: Thank you ... and I am working up to it...cutting down big time and wanting 10 more pounds gone and then they will be
Oh Way To Go!!
And so cool that you're confident enough to share the process and the photos
I admire that :)
and I think the boxers weren't necessary lol
Good job Vinny!
You're making great progress.
DIANNE: Thanks...OH, I used a body double...that is not really me! bwahahahahahahah
Nancy thought the boxers were though! LOL
JAY: Thank you sir...
You're not gonna be happy! :)

Kudos to you--that is awesome! :)
That's awesome!! I think I've only lost 6 pounds in what - 4 MONTHS?
(and no, there will not be pictures like this)
that is really great vincent...I know it can't be easy....but worth the effort
I read the other comments and just wanted you to think about how sad it will be for Matt to explain to his kids what a wonderful guy Grammpa Vinny was....
this is me...standing up to Cancer.
You are doing awesome, Vinny! I am back to walking a mile a day with my co workers. I wish Anndi had told me how not to gain weight when *I* quit smoking two years ago!
And she is right, time to quit. Matty too.
JESSICA: Thanks
TUG: ah come on...just one pic?
KATHERINE: Thank you and I am working on kicking the habit...It is not as hard as I thought and I am really into the workout thing...
STARR: Thanks so much...walking is great...I know it is time to quit...soon...I am down to 1/2 pack a day
I agree with you quitting cigarettes as long as it doesn't ruin your sexy radio voice.
It is such a tough job. You are doing it well. (An aside: I am having problems putting your blog in my new sidebar. But I will figure it out!) Have a great night!
Hey that is great right there Vinny! I know just how hard it is. For me it was the only time or way I allowed myself a break. Still have got to get better about taking breaks and lunches though.
If you are at all interested in Hypno let me know and I will ask Geoffrey if he can recommend anyone in the Memphis area.
wooooooooohoooooooooooo
looking good!!
HUGS!
DOC: Look outside, Bruno and Guido are waiting...
BUD: Thanks Bud...I don't know...maybe time for a new template
STARR: Sure, ask him...mom quit through hypno, maybe it is the way to go...THANKS
LEELEE: Ah Thanks my friend...HUGS
That is great progress! Congrats and keep it up.
Have a great weekend.
I think my template is fine. It needs a new author!
You are doing a BRAVE and awesome thing, my friend. My money is on you.
YAY!!! You're doing such a great job, Vinny! The boxers work for me, too :-)
Thank you for the nice comment on my lost pound. I will post a photo when I reached my goal, but no "before" photo... this would ruin people's meals for years *g*
Oh, before I forget - I'd love to see you participating in my first own MEME:
