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 27 - Week 4 Results!

Cheat day!
Week 4 Results - Weight 199.4lb, BF - 16.%, total inches 153"
Mood - ready for cheat day!

So my weight is going up just a bit which is slightly discouraging but really I could have done better this week. It was a tough week at work and I probably drank more than I should have on a night or two. All in all, still under 200lb and the rolling average is down to 198.6lb (down 2lb from last week) and 16.8% BF (down 0.2% from last week) and my total inches are down another 1.5" as well. So again, the measurable-s continue to move in the right direction!

I only have a few days left of the first 30days of 4HB and I am still trying to decide what to do, hell I might just buck up for another 30 days, the 1st 30 really weren't all that bad. It wasn't boot camp or anything! Haha!

I'm going to go ahead and post this a little early tonight, I'm going to a fun Halloween party this evening and some drinking will most likely be did so I better wrap this one up lest I go drunk blogging like I did in week 2.

Cheers!
