    Heading to Vegas soon on a boyz trip and that means pool parties.

    Had to shred the weight: no carbs, lots of water, tons of cardio. Back to rippedness.

    Congrats on the weight loss. I'm down 25 pounds since the beginning of the year. I had planned on losing more before my Vegas trip in June, but it didn't happen. Now I'm back on track. I was 233 this morning. I plan on getting down to 225 in the next couple months.

    I've been sticking with a moderate carbs / moderate fat / high protein diet. The biggest thing for me was cutting back on alcohol. Losing weight is hard if I drink even a little every night. Staying sober during the week and drinking just a little on the weekends makes it easy.

    Have fun on the trip. :) I'll be going out to Vegas again next summer for sure.

    Thanks man.

    As I get older it gets harder and harder. These day's it's a lot of sacrifice and suffering to lose the weight. When I was younger all I had to do was run. I was 190lbs a year ago.

    Being lean feels good. The jawline gets chiseled etc.

    That's a big thing I've noticed too. My face gets a "puffy" look when I gain just a little extra weight. Everyone was telling me how different I looked losing 25 pounds. Just walking around with a flat stomach feels good.

    Everything is easier too, physically. Climbing stairs, riding my bike, hiking in the mountains. I quit running because of a knee issue, but I imagine that would be easier too if I was doing it.

    If you're 233 and you've cut down 25lbs since the start of the year, you must be a pretty big guy. 258 is fair size. You must have been lighter when you were doing the rock climbing.

    I was 6'4" / 240ish with low body fat when I was rock climbing. I was at the strongest point of my life then. It took a long time to come back from the arm injury, but I'm mostly back now. I'm weaker at deadlifts and squats but stronger at bench press and pullups / rows.

    Another advantage of being lighter is that body weight lifts like pullups and dips become easier. Rock climbing too.
