I just had my follow-up fitness profile (6 months) at the Fitness Center at work and I'm really happy with the results!

In May I was 244.5 pounds (I'm 5'7") and had a resting heart rate of 78! Today I am 172.5 with a resting heart rate of 54! :D

In Aug I had a mid-term profile done to take my measurements. I also had those numbers checked again today.

8/04
Arm: 13.25
Chest: 43
Waist: 40.5
Hips: 42.5
Thigh: 23.75
Calf: 16.75

11/04
Arm: 12.75 (-.5")
Chest: 39.75 (-3.25")
Waist: 34 (- 6.5")
Hips: 39.75 (- 2.75")
Thigh: 22 (- 1.75")
Calf: 15.75 ( - 1")

I still need to drop some weight, and some inches, but as I say, I'm pleased with the progress and just wanted to share! Thanks for "listening!"

All the best,
Rob

Way to go! I have had a similar weight loss (240lbs to 175lbs) however I did it in around a year and a half. Good luck with the continued training and losing those last few pounds and inches.

WOW! Thanks again for all the kid words folks. I say again, the support here is fantastic! :D

Infosteward, to answer your question about diet, I did the South Beach for the first few months. I knew it wouldn't work well once I increased my activity from a walk/walk-run/jog program, but I used it to take about 35 pounds off in short order. Then I went to a sensible diet, higher in carbs, which I still maintain, and it has worked well for me.

Thanks again and all the best,
Rob
