Yesterday was my one year "anniversary" of my renewed commitment to fitness. Here's the tweet right before hitting the gym a year ago.
Let's recap, shall we?
Last Year
Today
I've still got a ways to go, but I look at it this way: I hate pictures of myself, and I can actually handle looking at these so I must be on the right path.

Is this just a free trial? Do you need my credit card to see more?

OK, this looks like one of those amazing weight loss ads in Reader's Digest. Just me being jealous of course.

Do you have a post with what you do/have done to make that transformation? More importantly, how the heck do you get yourself to a gym regularly? I find it so very hard to go out to a gym after a day at the office :-(

Hi Liam,
You can follow all of my fitness advice here: http://twitter.com/twitfit
Feel to email me for additional thoughts. It would help to know your current situation, habits, etc. In a nutshell, this describes what works. http://tinyurl.com/6mrpwg And yes it works for everyone. I understand the struggle with getting in the right mindset. That's more than 1/2 the battle. You need to have the desire to change 24 hours a day.

WOW! Amazing work! Those quad's and arms are a "big deal"!!
And, i'll let you know I'm feeling peer pressured into posting pics of the final accessories! When I get fired for that can you send me extra $ to cover my mortgage??
Regardless, outstanding job!

Barb,
No peer pressure at all, even though I *DID* show my headlights. Thanks for the compliments!
Posted by Thin Guy on July 21, 2008 at 08:31 AM PDT #
Well just consider that most headlights look similar....that's enough for now!

Looks like you're making great progress - congratulations :)

Wow! Congratulations! Very good job!
I wish I can do the same, post the pictures of myself looking like that next year!
