So whats the update guys, especially you SEO_Mike.
I've lost 20 lbs 4 weeks into my diet routine so far and wondering how everyone else is doing.

For one thing, I changed my eating habits a lot.
Normal days for me were pretty much no breakfast and lots of soda all day, combined with junk food and little sleep.
I started to make sure I ate breakfast ( and made sure to eat at least 5 times a day total ) and only drink water as well as get plenty of sleep. I also pretty much have cut out all:
1. added sugars
2. carbs
and have also cut my normal portions by 50%
I've also combined it with low calorie foods as well and sometimes meal replacements with things like no/low carb shakes.
Essentially Im eating a lot of meats/seafood and cheeses, as well as certain vegetables and the such. Im also ordering low calorie meals at restaurants and picking out the higher carb foods and not eating them. Im also cutting the portion by 50% and eating the rest at another meal later.
Im actually changing into a phase now where I start to add in low amounts of carbs back into my diet and more add in exercising as well.

Starting this next week actually, just got my supps today. I'll take some before and afters and post em.
Also, SEO_MIKE.. any updates?
I didnt follow my routine any last week as I was going to San Deigo and my kids are on spring break here, not that its an excuse, but I slacked off and gained 5lbs back in a week not doing it.
Ready to jump back on it and curious to how everyone is doing still

Too right - there's lots of trainers that have never been out of shape, so don't know how to properly get someone INTO shape - they'll work you too hard and first and discourage you that way - and run a good risk of injury too. Great thread!
