It's nice to have you back posting in the forums. :)

Yup! Ukulele and former hula dancer. So what island you from?

i read your post on junk food...you named hot cheetos and was wondering if you tried to hot cheetos puffs? they're awsome haha

Funny thing; for the longest time I thought your avatar was depicting you with spinning a lasso loop. I zoom in on it and discover it's a surfboard! HA! Completely different connotation there! Keep kickin' butt!

Good luck tomorrow for the 5k. I hope to run one in the future. Btw, thanks for the advice on my profile. I ended up getting the pdf "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" instead of the "The Abs Diet", but we'll see how it goes.

Keep on kickin' it, Cliff!

nice job on 59 pound weight loss! wow! keep it up and soon enough you will be where you want to be!

Hang in there, Cliff. Maybe it balances out, as I'm sure that there's someone out there too, who can't stop thinking about YOU.

I raise my protein shake to you incredible, inspiring journey.

HOLY HOME STRETCH, BATCLIFF!

A mere 6 kgs until you reach your target. AWESOME.

Enjoy the high that it must be bringing. Yer a WHEEL, sir, a WHEEL.

Hope you're planning to blow our minds with some mighty impressive before after pics?

Thanks for the confidence!! I loved that diet because it was the first diet I've ever stuck to. Any advice to just tone up?

cliiifff! so a few weeks ago i weighed myself in the evening prior to a workout and was mildly irritated at my weight. i woke up this morning and weighed myself in (i bought a scale that shows weight, body fat % and water % too!) and i'm 5lbs lighter. i guess the scale the gym was off (paired with all the food that i'd eaten that day). just wanted to let you know so it doesn't seem like i lost 5lbs in 2 days (im not you ;)!)

Hey Clifford, you seem to be having some excellent consistent results. Would you mind letting me know what you average diet is? I seemed to have made some progress last week, but this week I seemed to have gained it all again despite doing the same things every day! Very frustrating.

So far in the past 7 days I'm down about 5lbs from my normal diet and workout routine (that I've just started maybe a month ago, which may explain the high loss, but I completely expect that to normalize to 1-3 a week soon) and my body fat is down about 1.2%!

I've been mixing up my cardio between interval runs (2/2) and HIIT on an elliptical and lifting 4-5 days a week and I'm feeling the old "gym high" I used to get when I was in high school so not only can I keep this up; I WANT to! One of the best things about this for me, personally, is that I haven't let my situation with my ex affect my dedication; this is almost the exact opposite of the situation I was in that caused me to lose her in the first place... I call that growth! I guess, in other words, I'm doing much better physically AND emotionally, how's THAT for fitness?

Yer caricature's cute...
