The "Before" photos

Tonight we juiced two recipes that I think were hits for both of us. One was a kale, celery, beat and apple concoction that was surprisingly fresh and sweet tasting. The other was a mix of fruits I decided to throw together (Apple, orange, Mangos, and strawberries) that ended up tasting a lot like Orange Julius! I'll admit I snuck in a tiny bit of vanilla (figured it couldn't hurt).

Afterwards, my girlfriend and I took 'before' photos and weighed in. This is the heaviest I've weighed in a long time. Luckily I've never gone over 250lbs, but I've been getting awful close lately. Below are the stats:
Me
  • Height : 6'1"
  • Weight : 243 lbs
  • Chest : 47"
  • Belly : 46.5"
  • Hips : 42"





Her
  • Height : 5'6"
  • Weight : 138 lbs
  • Chest : 35.5"
  • Waist : 30"
  • Belly : 35"
  • Hips : 36"

Ideally I'd like to get back down to around 180/190lbs... so I've got about 50lbs to loose. I'm going to try working out while fasting to hopefully accelerate the weight loss. I'm crossing my fingers that I don't loose any muscle mass. One of the short falls I found with fasting and going on a fairly strict vegetarian diet as a teen was that I got overly skinny/lean. It didn't take much lifting weights to build some muscle mass (And I still have a bit of what I built back then)... but I never quite achieved my goal of getting a nice Tyler Durden chiseled look. If I get something similar to the build Josh Holloway had on Lost, I'd be happy. For now I'll have to just take it one day at a time... already feeling hungry again!
