-------------------------- --------------
I've been hitting the gym since I was 16, which started mainly because of rugby, I needed some strength and fitness for that.

Rugby finished when I left school in 1997 and that's when the roller-coaster ride started! It wasn't so bad directly after school but by the time I was 21 was when it really started going up and down.

I've tried loads of different eating and training programs which contributed to the roller-coaster my ride... the main issue with each one being that I never maintained any as a lifestyle for one reason or another.

The first program I tried was a 10 week training program using USN (Ultimate Sports Nutrition) in 2003. This gave me results, there is no doubt about that, I cut the body fat I wanted to and transformed myself. The problem is it relied on all the supplements that went along with it to get there and that's not something I wanted to continue throwing down my neck on a long term basis... Fat Burners, creatine and all that! See results in progress pictures.

Many years later in 2006 just to dramatically cut weight I tried some crazy stupid idea where for a period of 1 week I lived on a lemon and Tree Syrup drink which was a form of detox really, but extreme. I didn't eat a single piece of food for that week and it worked, but it was hell and just crazy really... not something I recommend anyone should even consider doing.

After that I just went back to eating normally and doing the odd bit of training through to Mid 2007. By that time I had picked up much more on my training and was really starting to see results now and I was doing it by just eating normally without any supplements. That lasted until around the end of Aug 2007 at which point the end of the year was approaching and the thought of going home to South Africa and the sun and really good food started taking over and the gym and healthy eating then took a back seat.

Come the end of the holiday around middle of Jan 2008 I was at my heaviest in my life! Weighing 98 Kg's, I thought I needed to get back down to things the way they were before Xmas. I felt uncomfortable in myself, I couldn't do up my work pants adn relied on my belt to hold them up.
It was crazy actually because in the space of just 4 months I was able to completely ruin all the hard work I had done leading up to the pics I took in Aug 2007.

After getting back to the UK after the South African holiday and went back to normal eating and random training and dropped down to 93.7 Kg's at which point I was given the "RECIPE" for success, and finally something that could become A lifestyle for me.

So on the 1st April 2008 I started on my new eating and training program after reading a book written by someone I know (in the process of being published).
So weighing 93.7 Kg's and a supposed body fat of 24% I started this program. (Check the pictures, fat bastard... wish I had taken pictures when I weighed 98 Kg's!!)

----------------------------- -------
*Jul2008*
Now many months on from when I started I can honestly say that this is something can be maintained as a lifestyle...
read the book and make the decision, you'll never be fat again, I promise you now!
Why I Love It: Feeling good, feeling confident, self pride, motivation... I could just go on!
How I Stay Motivated: Taking progress pictures once a month knowing that each time I take the next set they are going to be even better than the previous
BB Accomplishments: I love the end of each month when I take new progress pictures, this Lifestyle Program is Amazin!!
Check out my latest progress pictures.
I've made it to 12.5% body fat, wicked!
