AF Biggest Loser/Fitness Challenge-May 3 to Whenever We're Not Fat Anymore

Seems to me in the first picture you were not holding in your stomach as you were in the second picture. That's the only difference I notice.

If only it were that easy. You don't go from flab to ab by holding in your stomach.

I see your abs just as clearly in the first picture as I do in the second. Also, your love handles are the same size in both pictures.

:/ Bullshit.

We'll see what happens in the third.   Its still early.

Dude, you're seriously not fat in the first picture.

I remember when I was younger and I thought I was fat because I gained a few pounds.

You do not need a six pack to be at a respectable weight. In fact, those who prefer muscle realize that when they are old that muscle makes them look horrible because they can no longer work out to maintain it.

Be happy that you are not obese.

Martial arts and fitness is a passion of mine. As i've stated on this forum plenty of times. The results that come with it are the cherry on top of the cake. This thread is about showing progress whether its weight loss, muscle mass, or whatever your fitness goals are. So that's what i'm doing.

After screwing up while entertaining with sangria and imbibing way too much my self, I've had to ramp up my restrictions. I was getting a scone or a cookie out every day so I stopped that. Now I'm allowing myself one scone each weekend while day to day I only keep boring cookies around and have a few only with a cuppa. (Takes the guesswork and deciding out of it.) Keeping meals pretty simple and routine.

Energizer, you da man. Keep kicking ass. As long as you bounce back quick when you fall off the wagon, the damage goes away like nothing.

Whateverist, boring cookies are the only cookies, I guess.

I may have overindulged a bit today. I didn't bother to count calories, but after Mother's Day breakfast, I stuck to all healthy foods. I meant to get some yoga in, but I fell asleep a little watching Disney movies with Mr. Tibby instead.

Thanks, and thanks for creating this thread. Its a great idea to help people stay motivated. No damage was done.

Out of curiosity i actually took two photos of myself shortly after you typed that. One with me holding my stomach in and one in a natural pose lol. I won't post them unless others are curious to see.

Holding in your stomach just makes it concave or pull it at the middle. Flexing your stomach can make muscles more prominent, but I don't doubt your images. You don't have to justify your journey to anyone.
