    Four months, massive change!

    • Almost 50 lbs. I'm building muscle, so I don't look at the scale much

    • Extended induction

    • Weights for an hour x 3 per week (pretty hardcore now, lifting the 90lb dumbbells on back exercises)

    • Level 18 on the Elliptical for an hour x 3 per week

    • The gym manager even made me member of the month, my profile and pic is up on their bulletin board!

    • Size 54 pants to a loose size 44

    What I do:
    Elliptical gym machine 1 hr Tue-Sun
    At 320, switch to cycling on my Trek 500
    2 filtered containers water/day
    Daily salads/veggies

    Goals:
    Stop needing High Blood Pressure meds - DONE!
    Workout in a XXXL shirt     - DONE!
    Workout in a XXL shirt
    Workout in a XL shirt
    270 on the scales

                    Wow, John, 50#s in four months is HUGE!! And your commitment to your workouts is super commendable! I'm really amazed at your new clothing sizes...going from 54 to 44? Wowza. Congrats on a job well done and I look forward to reading more inspiring reports from you in the future.

                    p.s. Are you still dancing? That's great exercise too...plus a whole lot of fun.

                              This is great progress! Did you start lifting/elliptical during induction or did that come later?
