Seriously. I didn't even try MYB this month. Gonna kick it into gear next month though. One more good workout today, and then rest for hitting it hard for March.

400 medium reps, 400 light reps. 12 BSP today, I think 95 to date. Will get in 5 more tomorrow, and then we can see how March will go.
-edit- Add in another 100 light reps of abs for 96 to date.

was able to hit both.. barely.. going to enjoy the weekend off.
180 med reps - 3.6 + 48.3 = 51.9 for the month... going to have to space it out better so I am not playing catch up the last week of the month

Thanks man, I am 55 lbs. down since my start on this journey 7 months ago today.. I am losing a lot of inches in my waist and legs especially.. I wore a pair of pants yesterday that I bought about 8 years ago and have not worn since I don't know when. I know when i bought them I had to lay down flat to button them and they are loose enough to fall off without a belt now
Thank you to all you guys for the awesome motivation too!

Even nicer! I'm also down a few pounds and can fit into pants that haven't fit in a few years.
You gonna step it up at all in March and go for 100 BSP? That seems like a pretty tough challenge with MYB involved too. I'm bad at MYB because I really don't like running...

That's awesome, Lee!
I've lost 56lbs in the past 5 years; but 42 was 3 years ago and the rest was since early January.
I have pants which were tight when I bought them that are saggy now. It's an amazing feeling, but I don't have the scratch for a new wardrobe! I've been putting my awls to work punching holes in my belts...
cf: at least March has 31 days. I walk over 3.5 miles an hour - so an hour a night would get me there. But with job, kids and household responsibilities that's a lot to ask. But it's not
totally out of the range of possibility, at least. Running (okay, jogging) is quicker, but I don't like it either.
190 light reps.
67.3 + 1.9 = 69.2 BSP's for February.
Over and out.

You got to be down some pounds Crimson! the workouts you do... lol. Eventually I will need to change up my workout, I want to go to free weights at some point too and try to get more weights time in. My goal for March is to get more weekend miles in.. I am doing circuit weights 3 days a week and last month I pretty much only did straight cardio tuesday & thursday.. I need to get Saturday cardio back in there and start getting some weekend trails miles too.. It is pretty much spring here, I got sunburned last weekend camping with it in the mid 80's already. So to answer your question, not this month.. but sometime soon..?
I think I will do what I am doing for March and April.. I am just working on steadily increasing the intensity, which is easier because I am always on machines... more weight, higher levels on treadmill and bike, and more intensive steps routines on the boxes.I'm not quite on animal level like you guys
I do like seeing your workouts though.. gives me great ideas and motivation!Congrats TJ! It does feel great, I am still finding new cloths in the closet, haven't had to buy anything but boxers so far.. I have a box of shirts to get into also.. Pretty glad I saved all the old stuff now.

I'm already in the middle of the approved weight range for the military, so it's hard to lose more weight without diet adjustment. I don't think I have much more than 10ish pounds to lose, especially because every pound of fat I lose I gain back in muscle. I'm a LOT more toned than I was, albeit not like Qeth.
My usual workout is something that you would be able to do, I expect. I do a couple limited circuits targeted at upper body, and throw in leg stuff on days I want to really push. By circuit training, and doing more sets, you can push yourself to the point at which muscle development really starts to happen quickly. And, because I'm only doing medium reps, but pushing to the limits of my endurance, I not only build my endurance, but also layer muscle instead of tearing and bulking with scar-tissue laden muscle. At least, that's the theory. I've been getting stronger way faster than I used to when I would do 3 sets of 10. I figure 5 sets of 10 at minimum for maintenance, and 10 sets of 10 for development (which translates out to 2 BSP per exercise).
