Update 40x40 Challenge

It’s been awhile since I’ve given an update…. My goal was to lose 40 lbs by the time I turn 40 yo.  Well, next month on the 24th I will be 40 yo.  I started out at 198 lbs and, from the last time I weighed myself, at the doctor’s office, I am 171 lbs.  27 lbs lost!!! I’ve been told that it must be more than that because I have been losing fat and gaining muscle.  I did go from a 34/35 waist to a 30/31.  Friends have told me that I am getting ‘buff’.  

So, the last 13 lbs may never really show on the scale if I keep strength training.  What I am working on now is to lose my love-handles and hopefully start showing a 6-pack; this is the hardest part.  

I will post the before and after whether the goal is reached or not.  

Thank you to everyone that has supported me in this.
