Here's my year's progress (actually 2 weeks shy of a year). I'm 178 lbs body weight @16% BF.
Below are my new progress specs based on the five measures I set down last January.
--------------
Jan 1, 2008 - Dec 13, 2008
1RM Squat: +14 lbs
1RM DL: 0 (unchanged)
Lean Mass +13.5 lbs
BF: -3.5 lbs
Body Weight: +10 lbs.
Total inches: +10.75 (includes 1" increase at the waist
)

My estimated 1 rep max hasn't changed much. I haven't focused on strength gains this year. That's one of my goals for next year.
Considering I'm getting back into lifting after a seven-year absence, it's not been a bad year. I had two lay offs for about a month each (knee problem). It has taken me most of the year to get my diet right. Sometimes I just don't eat the way I plan and late in the year I discovered a calculation error in my diet planning.
Here's to more progress in 2009.
Moveon
