My 12 Week Transformation

Getting in Shape and Changing my lifestyle for the better. 12 weeks before my 43rd birthday I set out to transform myself into the fit, trim, athletic and healthy individual I've always wanted to be. Final 28 days I was able to lose 28 pounds of fat.

[davidbarwin]

@lori25hu Agreed! That's exactly why I did video. ;-)

Good job man, you did good.

[davidbarwin]

@StillRottenToTheGore Thank you!

[davidbarwin]

@Feder147 Right and that's why people who eat small amounts more often don't have a faster metabolism than those people who eat once a day........ NOT. I'm proof that portion size and frequency is very important....which is why so many people fail. They workout but dont eat often enough or the right portions.

Losing 5 1/2 inches around my waist and a total of 28 pounds is not "little" fat. Eating less and working out more will change your body and your life even into your 40s! :-)

How many hours per day do you did sports in these 12 weeks?

@davidbarwin same happened to me - no worries - I have good muscle memory. I was close to a 6 pack and lost over a few weeks getting sick and fell out of sync..but 2012 Im back at it - after the holidays..want to enjoy food for the holidays..

@iserenadeyourmum You can workout 7 days a week if you'd like just make sure you vary the intensity so you're not overtraining. Part of a successful transformation is learning to listen to your own body and responding correctly. If you're not recovering and getting stronger then you need more rest regardless of how often you train. Use common sense.... ;-)

@maziyar20 What part of getting into shape is impossible? I've slowly lost what I achieved over the past few years but am going to do it again starting 1/1/12 and posting results on my 48th birthday.....5/12/12

@pavy415 I appreciate the compliment but I'm not a bodybuilder..... I'm just a desk-bound self-employed "over the hill" middle aged man who will be turning 48 in May '12. My transformation has slipped in the last few years but I am going to do it again (and of course document it) starting 1/1/12.

[davidbarwin]

@BestWayToLoseWeightH I'll be doing the same....... tweaking the diet and working out harder too. ;-)

[davidbarwin]

@rhdtv2002 Thank you! It's been a number of years ago and I've slowly lost the battle but am going to rededicate myself to health and fitness as of 1/1/12. Will be documenting the transformation again..... stay tuned! ;-)
