I'm a very adept analyzer.

Everything you promote or talk about here is dependance-related.

The entire objective of fitness, IMO, is to become extremely self-sufficient in mind and body. Yet, all this negative emotion follows you when you talk about it. The mentioning of stress levels in the picture. Saying you're entire family is now happier because of you being fit - how is happiness tied to fitness.........? And also the bit where you said you we're embarrassed when you daughter told you you we're fat. Getting someone into something out of guilt is the worst thing you can do to their sense of self - why would you mention something like this? Oh, and the sudden enabling, validating and building up of the emotional defenses of yourself when attacked by haters. You are either greedy or just looking for attention and reverence for what you've done. I am just judging from what you have said and done. Trust me, some of the haters hating on you in this thread might have their reasons. And if you think I am one of them, well, that's fine, you can think whateverthe****youwant.

Regardless - the work has been put in and the results are obvious.

Did you join a fitness website like this to pyscho-analyze and try to bring people down?

I'll admit, you're a pretty good analyzer but you're operating off of limited data.

For the record, I'd say about 98% of the reaction on youtube, ********, on other forums, at school, at work has been extremely positive. I thrive on that positive energy. This forum tends to have more negative peeps/haters.

Let me know if you'd like to discuss fitness and nutrition!

is this real life? i felt bad about my physique before i made fitness a piece of my lifestyle, and i had always wanted to do something about it... but when people (including ur family / friends) say stuff that push that desire to change even further, it's just extra motivation... he obviously did this for himself and for others in his life.

wow man..great transformation...very inspiring...well done!

I appreciate that bro. It took a lot of work to get started but as time has gone on, and new habits have been formed, it's been a lot easier to stick with it and continue making improvements. If I could do this with such a busy schedule, anyone can!

This is an awesome transformation!

thanks man - I appreciate that. I checked out your blog - pretty cool stuff. I've been taking Krill Oil (super-concentrated fish-oil) for the past year. I get mine from mercola.com - I think I read that the pure Krill Oil is like 100x more concentrated than regular fish oil...

Haters gon' hate.

Solid work OP. I'm just under half your age and I don't look anywhere near that good.

Thanks for your input on the blog! Yeah I've looked into Krill Oil too, but it seems the EPA content of krill oil is not very high? It would get really expensive for me to try to get 2 grams of EPA daily from Krill oil.

Well you've got plenty of time! Remember.. working out is only a small fraction of your day, what you put into your mouth and how much you sleep makes up the rest of it. It's a lot of little choices, consistently moving in the right direction that will make a great result in the future.*
