mate, some fantastic progress there, your obviously putting the hard work in!  stick at it mate, its definately paying off!

Nice one mate, at this rate you'l be lean and mean for summer......and pasty white ;)

Cheers guys, do you think the scales BF reading is accurate?  What would you estimate my BF levels where/are?

Aye, not much chance for a tan in scotland ;)

I think the BF readings are prob a little kind but the main thing is the trend which is clearly down.

Well done on the good work thus far.

Wow excellent progress mate! Keep up the good work!

Great results so far!  Keep at it!

Cheers folks for the support.

2009-03 - Stats updated in 1st post too.

Great progress

Keep it coming mate! awesome work so far!

Cheers fellas, off to do some reading into free weights and new gyms... excellent!!! :D

Just did my normal routine last night having eaten as I normaly would but felt nauseous (half way up my throat) through most after the cardio (2.75km in approx 12mins running and 8.5km in 15mins on the bike).  It lasted about 2 hours after I had finished all cardio...  Just about to head out now so lets see if it happens again tonight.

 I can never run with anything solid in my stomach - it just ends up wanting to come back up.
Thats the main reason I do fasted cardio, vomiting mid-run isn't attractive

I usually leave about 1hr 30mins after food before doing cardio... the weird thing is that I dont feel sick while running its only when I stop and then jump on the weights about 10mins later.  Wasnt quite so bad yesterday but I didnt do as much cardio.  Vomiting mid run on a treadmill... god help the person behind you if you where on a high speed!!!

March 2009 - Stats updated in 1st post

I''ll be honest I was a bit disappointed with this months progress... or lack of.  It was my Birthday towards the end of the month so the diet got a bit of a thrashing.

Just reached my goal weight, ~80kg was (79.8kg this morning)  Now to keep cutting and staying at this weight might be more tricky!!!
