So starting june in the 160's

169.5 this morning. Still falling off easily. Feels like the 180's took forever, but the 170's were a breeze.

My mom and aunt are down from botswana for the first time in a year and they are well impressed with the changes, scary to think im 40kgs down from my highest that I noted...

world class results bud.

hard work is paying off, feels like an uphill battle at times but when it comes right, then things are world class.

Been a while since the last update, So here we go

Hit 167.9 this weekend, we are going to up the calories a bit this week because I feel like im drained. Strength is starting to suffer, endurance has been lacking for the last while, Even though I managed a 30min of elliptical last week. So we taking a "Break" for a week or so.

Refeed yesterday has upped the happiness levels, Really went hard on it, Chelsea bun, some lamingtons and more veggies than ever.


Sadly the wife seems to have lost the bug for gymming, skipped the last 3 sessions, so I figure its over

Oh and my progress has inspired my father in law, He saw this pic (he is on the left), and decided if I could do it, he could


We check in daily, motivate each other and Thanks to empires advice, I have been able to help him to get here


20kg's in 3 months, He seems to be keeping it down. He is a proper afrikaaner so he likes his brandy etc... Explained carbs, waterweight etc to him and he is doing awesome


Just wanted to brag about his progress too.

Not much update weight wise, Things are happening but nothing to tell the press about

BUT, the big changes are cm's and strength in the gym. Im back on a power mission. Today I went heavier in 4 out of 6 exercises. Including getting up to 100kg's per side on the plate loaded dip machine. Its getting impossible to hold me down now. Cause you know, im so light and sexy


Overall really loving my legs, calves are looking good (not empire shredded but definetly not dad bod legs. Quads are showing alot of muscle, but the insides are still woblly. Going to speak to empire to see how I can work that out.

Back is feeling wide, Triceps are bigger than some guys biceps ;)

overall, feeling amazing still.

Feels like ages that I have been in the 160's, but Cm's are still coming down and strength is still high up


We went out to lawyers yesterday to sign for our new home, (First home) and obviously I cant wear my normal tshirt and shorts. So i put my good jeans on. I hate longs

Anyways, walking in, the jeans were basically falling off. So I went to tighten the ol belt again, Couldnt.... was on the last hole! The same belt has 5, i was on the widest setting , then went without it and barely buttoned them up. Now this!

this diet is costing me so much on clothes!


will take pics tonight, just need to get buff today in the gym, I know you guys like looking at my sexy body

well, it's a terrible problem to have, changing clothes cos you can fit you and your Mrs in the same shirt. i remember when I lost all my weight initially, I had shirts I put on that I was like yea, I can sail away in this if I put out my arms.

the same thing as the other day, I went to an event I needed to wear a suit. well the suit was my wedding suit and it doesn't fit me anymore, and I got married 3 months after I competed in 2015.

you killing it and i love the fact you are learning more and more about your body and always questioning me as to what the processes are etc.

Havent followed this in a while, but congratulations on the progress.
What a great effort and I think it shows results can come when you have the mindset and a good trainer to help you get to your goals.

Keep it up!

I'm super proud that you have stuck to this for so long. The amount of people I know that have started amd stopped is a page full. The amount of people that have stuck it out is a handful. Impressive

Honestly, The only reasons I'm staying here are because Empire makes it easier (More on that shortly) and because I realized that I wasn't going to see 50...

So, just an FYI for anyone looking to hire Empire for his mad skills, DO NOT TAKE HIS WEIGHT ADVICE. the man thinks I'm a lot stronger than I really am. I mean I did all the stuff he told me to, But it was heavy! Haven't been that gassed in ages.

Turns out he noticed that I was being a little bitch, Dopamine levels are high now. Feeling great
