Bodybuilding.com - Know Your Measurements For Bodybuilding Success.

When planning a journey, the very first and most important thing to know is WHERE YOU ARE NOW! Before you head out to lose weight, or gain weight, or build muscle mass, or tone up; before you take the next step toward success, you need to know where you are now (rule #4). Or as an old saying goes, if you don't know where you are and you want to be somewhere else, then any direction you pick is adequate.

Any direction may not be good, but at least it's a step. You can read more of my about how I did that during 2011 while losing 157 pounds and going from a 60" waist to 36" in just 15 months.  See more stories about that at www.TrustMeOnTheSunscreen.com. I not only lost 157 pounds, I went from a size 60 waist to 36 inches. And since the first of the year my weight is down by  an additional 3 pounds and my wife likes the way I look in tight jeans that are even smaller - 2 more inches, size 34.  YOU CAN DO THAT! If you know how, DO IT! If you need some help, here is one place I regularly stop by to see how others do it and to record my measurements. The first link is a great article about what and how to measure your body.

Okay, the legal stuff. Listen up.

I am not a doctor. I am not a certified trainer. I am not a professional body builder. I m in better shape and I do know a lot of stuff that those experts told me, but I don't have a paper that says so, and they haven't told me everything they know yet. Or as Uncle Buck said: "You should always consult a professional, like your doctor, before you begin any weight loss program, and you should ask an expert before you try some of the foods and exercise that Cheryl and Doc use." In other words, this blog contains my opinion on what might work and is for folks who are serious about changing their life. It should not be construed as anything more than what I found on my journey, and how I learned to use it. So you have now been warned: Do attempt the journey on your own without consulting a professional or gaining parental approval. And by the way, there is some other legal stuff on this page about who owns the trademarks and photos and copyright stuff. Most of what I have is not original, but the way I package it up IS, so be sure to read ALL of my rules. Here they are: All postings on my blogs are the opinions or thoughts by Floyd V.
