I'm in sales and consulting. Selling rigging gear to mining and offshore companies. It'd be great to do personal training for a living. But I'd settle for doing it for free as long as people appreciate and utilise the help, if the direction of my life ever halts or changes, I would get my qualification for sure.

Great work and progress on your running man, I remember when you started, you were walking. Now a 10km run!

I'm doing the Perth city to Surf in August. it's a 12km run, although I'm doing it purely for the exercise, not a strong enough runner to make it competitive. My goal is <60min though. I'm going to start training for it from next week as part of my increased cardio.

I have given up gluten and dairy, along with my diet and supplements my intake couldn't be any healthier, I just consume copious amounts of meat and vegetables. I'm also working out 5 days a week.

Update: Figure I'd post this, I will eventually post some pictures shirtless when I am completely happy with the results (Probably Summer), this one is merely to show progress.



Stay motivated everyone, you will get the results.

I am owning hardcore, I'm really proud of myself actually. I won't reach my original goal which I think was quite an amazing one to try and set anyway.

Current Weight: 162lb
Goal Weight - 150lb
Starting Date: January 5th
Goal Date: February 20th

Current Weight (February 15th): 154lb

45 days to try and lose 12lb. Which would have been realistic when I was 60-70lb overweight but I don't have much to lose now.

Still 40 days into my goal and I am down to 154lb. Which is -8lb, I'm sure if I went hardcore I could lose another 2lb in the next 5 days, but there is no rush. With the amount of weight training I have been doing, my shoulders and arms have gotten a lot larger and more defined, core and back are a lot stronger and my fitness levels have gone through the roof.

I am now in the final stages of my ultimate goal of a six-pack which is still realistically 2-4 months away I'd say. I am riding anywhere between 30-50km (20-30miles) a day depending on time constraints. Have cut down the gym to 3 times a week but all 3 sessions are personal training sessions.

I am no longer on so much of a "diet". But my natural eating has become very healthy and it is something I don't even think about anymore it just comes naturally. I now eat enough food to put a horse to shame, but it is all balanced and healthy and in the right portions, and still, I am losing body fat and gaining muscle with my intake.

I know this is probably a bit vein, but riding my bike to work now I occasionally jump on the train if I am running late. I wear track suit shorts and a tank top while cycling. I am getting some pretty defined arms and shoulders and I have a backpack with clips on the front that extenuates my chest. Basically every time I get on, there will be at least 2-3 girls staring at me when they think I don't see them. (Just something I am not use to)



Bockit, that is a very realistic goal and I am sure you will have no problems achieving it. I've also noticed ever since I started getting fit and healthy and put on muscle mass, binges don't even dent my progress, its almost as if my body knows it is only temporary and regardless of how much alcohol or junk food I consume, my body just writes it off and gets right back on track a couple of days later.

I am really proud of everyone in this thread who put an effort into achieving their goal or even just a small change in lifestyle, as long as it has been something you kept up with or plan on following through.
