You should probably get realistic goals. If you lost 5lbs in a week either you are extremely fat or you are losing lots of muscle on top of fat.

Hey Tex, i'm 230 want some extra? LOL.

For me the 6 pack is a visual goal that i've wanted since highschool, but in actuality all I really want is 10-16% body fat and a whole crap load of muscle lol.

I know the six pack is there, would just like to see it someday lol.

Cheers

i don't really understand "weight number" goals either...i'd rather him be 20pds lighter with some definition myself...being fat isn't cool

If you can have a six pack, then you will have one while gaining muscles. Personally i don't know how long will it last because usually I have a like a four pack you know ah ah.

Seriously, build muscle for 5 years then maybe think about "cuting" don't do the same thing as I.

Visable Abs means nothing much anyway. It's vanity. Just have the strength, and something like 16% Fat. Still keeps you lean, but gives you a bit more "acceptable chub", that'll keep you warmer in the winter.

mmm P.B. I eat by the tablespoon right from the jar. I eat it 10x more now than when I was a kid. P.B. is probably my chocolate!

As for being made by the devil, you may be on to something there!

Cheers
