January to December 2012; work in progress!
I think that I have got to the gym about 25 times all year; I try to make it count when I get there

A much happier 10 years younger-looking Johnny. Confidence & manly power are the major differences I see in the before & after shots. Keep up the great work!
Good job johnny! You look fantabulous!
Johnny, whoa- that's amazing! You look incredible! :eek:
Johnny, there is just no better B/A here for the face - you look like a totally different person, from someone who is totally non-descript & actually looks rather ill, to WHOA! !!!
Hey John,
you gotta be doin somethin else besides 25 times at a gym,
big change,
Hey docpearce, Betorq, Earthy Mama, Aix_sponsa, Mama Grok and neik11
Thanks for so much for all of your kind words of encouragement. It feels really good to get some positive feedback – I live alone so don’t get feedback anywhere else. . I am definitely happier and more confident now
The ‘ before’ pictures were taken on my return to Norway in January 2012 having spent two weeks over Christmas and New Year in England. The weather had been awful the entire time I was there. I spent two weeks eating all the wrong stuff (lots of grains/carbs and chocolate) it was as if I was trying to kick-start myself into action. I think I was also coming off some sleeping meds at that time – so I think I managed to look worse in that period than I had for a long time . I am still taken aback when I see those pictures from early January (I was tempted to post nicer before pics from around March!)
I promised myself in January, that during 2012 I would to try to get myself as close as I could, to being the person that I can be. For the first three months I photographed my progress every week. Over recent months I’ve tried to get to the gym at least once a week; I concentrate on lifting and always record my progress (I get really frustrated if I’m not progressing) . I find that if I try to go to the gym too often , I just get very frustrated as my muscles will not have recovered from the previous session. I avoid cardio-vascular exercise; other than walking! For most of the year I have kept carbs below 100 grams a day (and several periods below 50 grams a day). I’ve also cheated a bit; had my teeth whitened and used the sun-bed/solarium at the gym. I moisturize regularly now too!:o
I set myself a number of goals at the beginning of the year; 34 waist jeans (achieved about a month ago) 38 were tight at the start of the year. I also wanted to manage 8 pull-ups (I couldn’t manage one); I’ve got to 6 which I am pleased with; but still want 8!
Oh, I turned 52 a month ago.:(
Thanks again; you’ve given me the encouragement to keep going
AMAZING transformation Johnny! You've definitely motivated me to get back on track with my eating :)
