Thump I'm with ya' bud! Except I started about 2 weeks ago :) Picked up a Bowflex for a sweet price and have been hitting it on a regular basis plus watching what I eat (except today at lunch I ate pizza :(). Now that I've gotten in the routine, I started the loading stage of MuscleTech's CellTech this morning and will alternate between heavy and light trainning days a minimum of 5 days a week. I can't say I'll lose weight but I do plan to reallocate where it's at. I can send ya' a picture of me in my bike shorts and you can blow it up full size (on a WIDE format printer) if you need some motivation ;)
