Welcome! What's this 4HB all about?

Hi All!

So I'm going to try Tim Ferriss' 'The 4-hour Body' diet. I'm an optimistic skeptic and for 30 days, starting on Monday, September 26th, I'll embark on this little adventure.

I'm and engineer and an MBA by trade and Tim has me very curious. I have been working hard at my weight and seem to have plateaued at about 208lb and about 18% body fat so its time to shake things up a bit.

I'm also a father of 2 year old twin girls, my wife Jess is coming along with me on this adventure and I'll update you on her progress as well. Tim is a swingin' bachelor from the sounds of it so consider me a real-life acid test on whether or not the more average folk can realistically fit this into their lives.

My goal is 195lb and about 12%BF which is well within the expectations set by Tim's program at 20lbs in 30 days.

I'll be talking about how I feel on the diet, how much it costs and what the results are, of course. I'll try to be as specific as possible and time/date all the things I do.

I'll put links and photos of everything I do and hopefully it will be as big a success as Tim advertises it to be!

Vote on what you think my end weight will be!

Day 17 - I Heart Progress!

Weight - 200.4lb BF - 17.2%

Progress seems to motivate me, I thought that this would be a better week for progress than last week and it seems to be true! This is my lowest 1-day weight and 5-day rolling average (202.3lb) in a lot of years. Also my lowest BF in a lot of years as well. I am really excited to see a 1 as the first digit in my weight instead of a 2! There is still a lot of time left in the 4HB diet so I'm sure I will get there, just need to continue to plug away.

730am - Gotta love leftovers, grabbing a quick bowl of chili before the nuggets got up this morning with some coffee. Not the most traditional way to start the day but a good meal.

12pm - Had a burrito bowl at Qdoba for lunch today with guacamole, pretty tasty and easy.

5pm - 1hr of jiu jitsu, my knee held up pretty well so that is encouraging, good to get some exercise

7pm - Made a big salad with hard boiled egg, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts chopped pecans and some oil and vinegar dressing.

Short post today but am staying motivated!
Good night!
