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 24 - 35, not 28

Weight - 198.8lb BF - 16.7%
Mood - Felt very good in the morning with mood worsening throughout the day.

Have you ever looked forward to hopping on the scale in the morning? EVER?

I was kind of excited to get on the scale this morning and have a look at the progress. At this point, I know what to expect, it takes about 2 days to start advancing past the jump in weight after a cheat day and then my weight progresses downhill the remainder of the week. It is really pretty exciting.

Went to the gym today for a light workout, someone asked how old I was, they guessed 28, I'm 35.

Meals
730am - Breakfast - fried eggs with 1/4 avocado
1pm - Lunch - mixed veggies from the salad bar
6pm - made a steak salad with the leftover sirloin from last night with olives, tomatoes and guacamole on it as well.
