Some thanks are due to my friend who is a martial arts instructor and has been giving me advice on some exercises I can do to lose my stomach fat, but I need to do more.

That's a great person to get tips from Alonely. The martial artists/boxers usually do some kickass workouts that are really hardcore. I got in probably the best shape of my life doing boxing type stuff. Fat practically melted off my body like butter.

Today - 5'5, 156.5lbs, ~17%BFP

The only training I do is with that 2lb dumbell in the photo ;)
 
Redleader, I remember seeing a picture of showing off some shit you were cooking, and one of you teaching...and you dont' even look like the same person. Kickass progress man.

Hahaha and yah, that dumbell looks like an anitque. Does it have sand in each end? :)
 
Thank you for the compliment. Of course it has sand! If you look closely, the duck tape on the handle is to prevent leakage. I'd say it's actually around a 1.8454lb dumbell now. In any case, it, considered with its twin, is a poor man's "perfect pushup" as it rotates quite nicely on carpet!
 
Ok, I tried gaining muscle, and it didn't really work. I was eating a mountain of food, spending too much money on food, and neglecting cardio, racquetball, and football. The result was less money, more flab on my stomach, and decreased skills at those two sports, and I would get winded faster.

Screw that. I am going back to Cardio and sports and eating well, in small quantities. I have always been better at keeping weight off than putting it on.

Consider these the "before" pictures. My goal is to make my muscles look bigger by shedding fat. If it works, good. If not, who cares? I'll still be in great shape and be enjoying the sports I love.

(I am not angry, It jsut takes a lot of concentration to make a good pose while holding my crummy 8 year old camera while pointing it at the right angle and pressing the button with one hand).
 
Flab on your stomach? Where?

I still have about 6-8% BF to drop before I look like that Fj. Many people would be very happy with that as their 'after' picture. Just sayin'.
 
Thanks Dave, I appreciate that.

I am happy with the way I look now, though I always strive for improvement. Complacency leads to decline.
 
^ Indeed

I enjoy admiring the work others put in.

I am not yet up to the stage of posting an after shot - and some may argue there will be little difference with my before shot :\ - all I know is that I am feeling a heck of a lot better - not back to my 'race fitness level' (the way I was a few years ago when I was regularly training) but I am happily committed to getting there with a smile :D

Ok it's been 3 weeks and 2 days since the last picture. I've steered clear of the pills, and drank maybe 3 times, got drunk once. My diet hasn't been perfect, as I've tried to put the weight back on first and foremost. Lots of cardio though.

I noticed last night that I can see my ribs in my upper chest which this photo poorly demonstrates. The only bones I want to see are my clavicles. I don't want no chicken chest.

I am thinking incline push ups to increase the muscle in that area. Suggestions?
