So its been a while since I have posted here, but today marked my 10 Weeks on SGX and I am feeling great. So let me show you what I have accomplished so far:

My workout journey began on Dec 19th 2005. Here I am looking all pathetic and weighing in about 185-190 (I went up and down). Looks like I am either pregnant, or I got a basketball sized tumor in my belly:

So after about a month I was reading up on Johnstonefitness.com and doing my best. I lost about 15 pounds on my own. I read about this SGX thing, and decided to shell out the money for it and give it a try.

Here I am at the start of SGX (day 1) at 170'ish pounds:

Week 6 (look at the belly) 157 pounds:

And here I am today (morning pic) week 10 at 150.5 pounds. I am hoping to get some abs showing up real good in 4-8 weeks:

So SGX rocks! I have gone from a 36 inch pants size to a loose 30, and I still have way more to do!

All right! Way to go! Don't ever go back now that you have seen the light. I like new haircut also. Pump that iron.

Saw your progress over at VX mate, excellent job.

Well done.

Great Job:claphigh:

This is quite a transformation in such a short period of time. Biceps looking good and you've even got a v taper going there. Keep doing what you are doing.

Great job, bro. You look fantastic. I love seeing the SGX success stories. I'm signed up for SGX but haven't started yet. Hope to get your level of success when I do it. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.:tucool:

You look great! An entirely different person. :cool:

Congratulations! Excellent work. You gotta respect 'Cat and his SGX... it never fails.

Thanks for all the kind words! I will keep this thread updated for the next 4-8 weeks.

That is an awesome transformation. Great job. :claplow:

On a more personal note...... the new haircut makes you look younger and a lot more professional. The next step is a razor to your chin. :nod:

Are you sure you didn't miss-type your start date? Should it be 2004. What I'm saying is amazing transformation in such a short period of time. You look great and it looks like you lost it in the right places and even gained some muscle in your upper arms. Keep it up.

Start date is correct. I have only been doing this for about 4 months now.

It all started with a bet with the CEO of the company I work for. He bet me $500 that he could hit his goal weight before me. I won that bet with ease :)

Keep the goatee!

Keep the goatee!

And grow the hair back! Long hair will look killer with the new buff physique :tucool:

Great work. I'm pretty much decided on doing the SGX cut over the summer; if I do as well as you have, I'll be a happy camper. Keep it up :tu:

The cut looks great. Keep.

And cut for the goatee too :D

You look fantastic and I told you that you'd win that bet EASILY in working with me! :tucool:

Keep up the very good work that you are doing!

~SC~

Gotta love winning bets. Nice real work. Real nice. :tu:

Dude. Looking awesome!

Keep up the great work! SGX is a great thing and you are proof of that!

Whatever you are doing, it's working. I'm impressed.

HUA! Incredible results natas! Man, things like this make me so freakin' excited to start SGX I think I'll go click my inbox again to see if Swole got his loot yet. :lol:

Way to go, and post that six-banger when you get it going! :bow:

Lookin awesome man. An entirely different person. The haircut suits you much better too!

I'm jealous. Nice work man, seriously.

Ya know, I have been fiddling with the idea of joining myself. I guess I need to get off my butt and do something!:mad:

Great job bro! That is real dedication!

Hooah!:tucool:

Awesome work! You look great!

Good work/nice haircut.

Jesus Christ!
Sold!!!!

WOW! awesome...you must have some great dedication and of course a wonderful program and trainer.
