    Cashew,

     

    I gave up Soda about a year ago.  I lost about 7 pounds over the past year just giving up soda, I was around 210 back then.

     

    I drink water most of the time but I also LOVE Original V8 juice and I have the occasional Lipton Diet Citrus Green Tea.

     

    I had to radically change my diet, I eat 5-6 much smaller meals throughout the day.  My weakness was pasta and bread.

     

    I have mostly replaced sandwich bread with wraps using Corn Tortillas but I still do have the occasional sandwich with Whole Grain Wheat bread.

     

    I have acquired an addiction to Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurts and have those every day for protein :)

     

    For me this is all still a big experiment, especially trying to vary my healthy choices so I don't wind up having the same thing every day.

    Cashew,
     
    I know what you mean, two steps forward and one step back.
     
    My wife keeps telling me to stop weighing myself every day.
     
    Can't help it, I am a data guy, I need numbers :)

     

    Looks like you have made a lot of progress yourself. :jc_doublethumbup:
     
    As long as the overall trend keeps going down, the spikes don't bother me.

    Does that mean we'll have to figure out how to mount a silencer on an E-11 now?  :0Lighten:

    Maybe we can request a new sidearm addition to the CRL ;)

    I started on a fitness plan about a month ago at a weight of 205lbs.  My doctor recommended I get down to 180 due to my blood pressure. 

     

    I have actually found it more motivating trying to get my weight down for my first TK build :)

     

    I am using an app called MyFitnessPal to monitor my diet and exercise. It has been great, for me it has made dieting much easier....

    I will be ordering my armor [TM] the end of this month and I am thinking it should arrive end of June or early July.

     

    My goal is to get as close to 180 lbs as I can before I start my first build. I have about two months to lose 15 lbs.

     

    This was taken earlier this year at SC Comicon....

    I sure hope not, will be 52 this year and my son and I are about to begin this adventure together...
     
    He started talking about wanting to build Scout Trooper armor last year.
     
    He did all his own research and decided on Studio Creations armor.  We got him the helmet for Christmas.
     
    He is piecing the rest of the soft parts and will likely get the rest of the hard armor for Christmas this year.
     
    My armor fund is about 80% there, hope to order my ANH TK Stunt armor from TM in a month or so.
     
    My son is not really into sports or tinkering with cars so I jumped at the chance to do this with him.
     
    Hope to start our build thread here by June. The more we talk about it, the more I find myself feeling like a kid again :)
     
    Got my Hyperfirm E-11 recently and it is hard to resist walking around with it making "pew pew pew" noises :)

    Joey, looking forward to it. 
     
    I haven't ordered my armor yet, shooting to get my armor and start the build no later than August.
     
    I am shooting to have the build done and approved in time for the 2016 SC Comicon...
     
    Hoping to get it done sooner than that but I plan to take my time with it...
     
    BTW, have you joined the Carolina Garrison forums?  I am bobio over there as well...

  22. BIG news from ANOVOS! Han, Luke, Vader, Troopers, Clones.. THOUGHTS?

    Seems like a big leap to me based on a "general direction" even at the prices listed. 
     
    Price might be low now but it goes up after Celebration and then again after May 16.

     

    I am probably just too cynical but when something sounds too good to be true....
