Off Topic Following in Big Poppa's footsteps.....

Notice how in both "before" pictures they were playing non-MM basses, but in the "after" shots... It's a miracle!

Seriously... I'm working on it too. I may not look like I need to lose weight, but the gut tells no lies. I've been working on keeping the calories down, and doing 20 minutes of exercise a day. Doesn't sound like much, but way better than 0 minutes a day and eating anything I want. Progress could be faster, but I notice it in the way the jeans fit, and in seeing my abs slowly realize they have a job to do.

Better now than never!

I let myself go when I moved to Australia last year. I looked at myself in the mirror at Christmas and thought I need to do something about this. I have always been a keen runner, but hadn't done much during my time in Oz. I started back with that, added in some weights work too, muscle metabolises continuously, so build some and you raise your BMR. I cut out snacking and even gave up alcohol for 3 months. I've dropped 12 kg and am very toned and I do 40-50 mins exercise 5-6 days a week. I have never been fitter in my life.

1. Ed none is more true than your before and after.....notice the MMs now arrived with the reemergence of your abs?

2. Monkey..you were very thin the times I met you....Oz sounds like its good on you as they say. Give a squeeze to Louise.

Yes, skinny arms and legs. However, I put a lot of weight on around my middle when I got out here. It was Summer, lots of barbecues and lots of beer and wine. I gained 10kg and looked like a skinny armed buddha. I have now lost that and toned up my arms and legs.

I said hi to Louise from you, she said to say hi back. We are flying to New York tonight for a vacation. I guess my good intentions are out of the window for a couple weeks now.

That's really impressive Ritchie well done

My guitarist friend used to be 220-230 and peaked at 260, then he decided enough was enough - he's got down to 170 now and looks so much better for it.
