My sentiments exactly and all the same ones I was going to tag. Great minds I tell ya!!!!

my boyfriend did the same thing. he achieved it by eating chicken, veggies, protein shakes, nothing but healthy food and lifting weights/cardio!

Luckily, I was already asked this question, so all I had to do was copy and paste. But here you go

"Haha, well thats a small question with a huge answer.
Well, biggest thing was knowledge. I read, and studied, the "New Abs Diet Book" over and over again. I have always been interested in how the body works with nutrition and physical fitness so I read a lot of books based around clean dieting. Meat, Fish, Poultry, Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts, etc. As long as it wasn't processed, I ate it. "The Rules of the Ripped" by Men's health had some great insight as well. So, on that note, we come to find out that diet is 80% (low balling it) of weight loss. You can workout 5x a day and eat like crap and you wont lose a thing, you would actually gain bad weight. However, you can have an impeccable diet, and not work out, and lose bad weight. The body is a fascinating machine.
When I started March 1st, I was doing 2 a day cardio workouts 4x a week, 1 workout Friday and Saturday and off sunday, and surfed as much as possible, for the first 2 months. My cardio workout consisted of incline walks for an hour on a treadmill, sprinting intervals for 15-20 minutes, speed bag and/or heavy bag for an hour, or full body weighted circuits. I am in the Military, so once I went out to sea, I did the Insanity workout and some other workout every day, off on port calls. The last month I rode my bike to work (10mi), lifted weights after work and then road my bike back home (10mi). My days were completely consumed with eating properly and working out/staying active. My goal was to leave the car in it's parking spot as much as possible. I used my bicycle and walked/ran when ever possible.
With that, I am eating 6-7 times a day, 300-500cal per meal (that count will be lower if you are only working out 1x a day). I food shopped for the next 2 or 3 days and I never left the produce isle or the butcher/fish displays. everything else my body didn't need.
Once you realize that you "Eat to Live", you don't "Live to Eat", it all becomes clear. Another big thing is that losing weight isn't a Fad and you don't "go on a diet". Being physically fit and nutritionally sound is a life style and you need to be ready to make that commitment. You change your diet once and for all and you keep at it at the gym, even when you don't want to go.
What you just read is what I have been doing since March 1st and what I will continue to do until I reach my goal and then form there, it will lax, a very small amount. And by lax, I don't mean its going to get easy, just not as intense as what I do now but still difficult for the average person. Sorry you asked? haha"

And that is correct "Chick", clean diet and cardio/weights.

Great job!!! U look HOT!!! Love the scruffy look

Better to tell him he's adopted, might cause less emotional scarring!!!

Ditto!

Yea, a lot of those are terrible. Not anywhere close to what I think a state's beer is.

Thanks, Darling.
