July 3, 201313 yr Tonight my brother and I opted to replace the easier insanity workout with a video from the Muay Thai DVD from the Tapout XT series, and it was very good and way different. Just trying to mix things up to burn more calories. Which brings me to the bad news this week. I have cut my calories way down and even drank less liquids hoping to drop the pounds I wanted to. Well I step on the scales this morning and to my horror I had put on three pounds since my last weigh in. I can not begin to understand this because every day since the weigh in I have been way under on my calories, and according to myfitnesspal I should be losing weight. Frustrated I am very much but I will continue to out up the good fight. It may be time to check into actually eating more. Your body may be in need of more calories to ramp up the metabolism. Counterintuitive, I know. Check into Brian or Aaron at Wiefit. I'm telling you, they are very good. You can "meet" as an online client. One of his clients just pitched a no-hitter last night, and another client was the catcher (Bailey and Hannigan). He meets w/ NFL Pro Bowlers, and fat schmoes like me. Check it out. He can help you out in your quest to get to whatever is your key weight.
July 4, 201313 yr OK the last workout was today(The final fit test is tomorrow) We did the final weigh in and the final measurements today. Starting weight 228 Ending weight 201 We did the measurements from our belly button around and then from are waist line around I lost four inches total from belly button around and five inches around the waist. After the final fit test, we will take a week off and start back on a Saturday. We are changing things up by adding one or two Muay Thai DVD from the Tapout XT series to make this more difficult. Good luck to each of you. I missed my weight goal by one pound. Goals the 2nd time around will be Weight 180 Inches loss goal will be the same as the last time. I figure it will be harder to drop the weight and inches this time being there is not as much to lose.

July 4, 201313 yr The pics really shows how much more work I have to do, but at least I have made a good start. Thanks for the encouragement all through this.
July 5, 201313 yr Did a triple-brick workout yesterday. All biking done on the bike trainer. Torture! On the plus side, I have a new saddle coming in!
July 6, 201313 yr Final test went well all the numbers were up, but one. A well deserve week off then back at it.
July 8, 201313 yr Looks like we, my brother and I are going to do a Muay Thai DVD from the Tapout XT series, we both decided a week was to long to go. The countdown to 180 starts today.
July 8, 201313 yr Author Finished Day 10 of second round. In addition to the daily scheduled DVD, I'm adding either the cardio abs DVD or 20 minutes of weights each day. My daughter does her 6 mile run then we do the AB workout together which is pretty cool.
July 9, 201313 yr I was on vacation all last week in Texas, didn't hit a lick. Tonight's workout hurt a bit. I did however PR my push press at 195 lbs.
July 9, 201313 yr I might try to do smoothies for breakfast. I NEVER eat breakfast, and everybody tells me I should try to eat something. I usually work out on an empty stomach in the am but do take a pre workout drink. Really think I need to start doing a protein drink after my workout. Feel like I could be killing myself in that regard because I usually don't eat until like 3-4 hours after my workout.
July 9, 201313 yr Have any of you ever used the imuscle app? They just did an update recently. If you know what areas you want to focus on but not necessarily how to go about working on it it's awesome. I'm rather knowledgable about various lifts and what not but it's great for brain storming and helping think of ways to change it up some.
