I started my max workouts journey a little over a year ago, I had tried an "online program" before and was skeptical, because of a very busy schedule and a rather large family (five boys) time was very important to me.  Weighing in at 215lbs (too ashamed to take a real before pic) and over the course of my first 12 week program I lost 21lbs, and only changing my diet slightly.  Bouncing around 195lbs and feeling pretty good about seeing the lower side of 200lbs in 15 years. I was pumped to try the challenge again.  Through the first 6 weeks I could see my arms and waist changing but no change in weight. So I really analyzed my diet and through a helpful app for my phone realized I was still taking in too many carbs. Once I got that squared away I started burning pounds away. I ended up losing 12 more pounds...IN ONLY SIX WEEKS!!!!  Goodness me If I had only got my carb issue under control earlier!!  My strength has increased to a point I have never seen before.  As a college level athlete I was very fit and pretty strong, but I have never been able to do one armed push-ups!  I can do those now! (I will send a second email with that video attached) but I think the best thing that happened to me was about week 9, I was bouncing up the stairs with my shirt off and my 14yr old son says "wow, looking good dad" just a simple compliment but it was like throwing gas on a fire!!  I went nuts!!  Counting every carb every gram of protein, every gram of fat.  My wife thought I was nuts, complaining about my crazy diet of avocados and sardines, and not wanting to eat the meals she prepared. (I did eat her meals..just smaller portions, you know what they say "happy wife, happy life")  On that note she is VERY pleased with the way I look.  I wanted to hit 180lbs but ended up at 183lbs this morning.
