These aren't necessarily pics to be proud of but I wanted to get them online to post my progress. Unfortunately I don't have any good before pics but I'll post the one that got me motivated to get in shape. This first pic was taken January 10th in Morocco after hiking to the top of this mountain (not very high though and there was a road....). I am the one in the back row, all the way to the right (the only bald guy). As you can see, my stomach clearly is pressing against my shirt. At this point I was around 180 pounds and a 40 inch waist.



Now here are two pics taken today. My weight is actually at 176 right now but my waist is between 36.5 and 37 inches (seems to vary for some reason). So I've lost around 3 inches off my waist. I'm not sure what my body fat is but I would guess somewhere around 22-24%. I am in a hypertrophy routine right now but when that is done I would like to get down to 15% (but never been there before so not sure how to get there). Oh, and the bruises you see are because I started doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a couple weeks ago





And for what it's worth, I'm 39 years old.
