They will be in there somewhere Nibblet. You need to work on the FL factor. That is what makes the difference between flabs and abs.

Say something like a belly fat and callipers body fat test, and resting pulse rate and pulse recovery test, and a 5k run time, or a swim or the likes?

Who's keen? Normally I'm very independent but when it comes to training I need someone looking over my shoulder and laughing at my futile efforts, or I'm inclined to sit on the couch and eat baking.

I'm sure the forum can come up with a prise for the biggest overall improvement, forums fittest member etc.

Bugger Tussock, too late for me. I have lost 20+ kilo's since Christmas day (mind you there is a shitload more to go). I don't run either so I will sit here and be a spectator. Hope you pull this off though as it is a good idea.

20kg in under 3 monts is an awesome effort Rushy! Keep it up

It is going to cost me a fortune in new clothes soon. Unless of course I go retro and start wearing all my old shit. I think my Missus would ream me a new arsehole though if I started wearing flared trousers and lace up shirts so probably best to abandon that thought.

Top effort there Rushy. I must admit that I've been doing a bit since Christmas too and have managed to put on 1-2kg. One thing with my condition (the boss stumbled onto something about it a couple of weeks back, seemed to make her eyes a bit wet translating my kiwi understatement to the article) is I cannot sit around long, I have to get up and move frequently or I seize up pretty bad.
