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 29 - 1 day left!

Weight - 198.8lb BF - 16.4%
Mood - Very good today, got great sleep!

Today I'm wearing pants that are a size 34 waist. I *was* able to do this 30 days ago but it took some serious trust in the button and zipper strength and wasn't too comfortable through the day! Now, quite comfortable!

I feel very nice today, weathered the 1st big holiday party of they year with the 4HB diet! The holiday season is coming and its good to have a game plan and cleverly plan your cheat days around parties so you can enjoy them with friends and family.

I worked out today and used the workout in 4HB, the Maximal Strength workout, very easy to get in and get out for a lunch time workout. It consists mainly of bench press and dead lifts coupled with some plyometrics directly after the lifts.

Meals
8am - fried egg with ham and coffee
12am - lunch of veggies to snack on with some cashews
6pm - dinner was baked chicken with a squash sauce (from Costco, the sauce is great) veggies and refried beans on the side with a glass of wine
