From Taco to Flaco (skinny in Spanish)

I have decided to enter this year, after getting in very good condition last year (from January to June) using IF, but with my daughter, new job and a lot of private work, I have lost a little condition, even more so after an Xmas of drinking, smoking and eating like crazy!
 
My aim is to improve my overall condition, my photos will be up on Sunday...

Good luck gringo!

Sorry for the bad photos, the missus is in Texas right now so I had to take them myself with the timer. Will put up more info later....
 

 

 

 

 

 

Best of luck mate............im, sure you,ll get back in top condition, no problem!

GOOOOOD LUCK!

Thanks everyone, I am very motivated, so let's see how it goes!

Now if this fasting business allows you to cut while still eating a grill of meat like that, it might get my attention!
 
Where do you train?  I wouldn't have thought there would be that many gyms in Mexico outside major cities.

Yeah mate, it's a great way to diet!
 
I train at a good gym mate, my city has dozens and dozens of gyms, there are definitely more gyms in Mexico than in the UK! They are all individually owned, no real chain gyms here.
