edit: oh yea, and it always seems that these great stories are happening to white or black people, i'm obviously (from my s/n) an asian, think i can pull something even close to this off?

...After that, the glop is then given an acid bath so it can be molded into your bar and consumed. No thanks.
You can't believe that! A doctor might tell him to gain weight now, but a doctor surely would have told him to lose it before and with a bodyfat of around 11% he's far from starving to death. I'm sure he's significantly healthier!Originally posted by: jsbush
He looks healthier before.

Quick question John:
How did you take the pictures? I mean, how did you make sure that they were EXACTLY the same angle, distance, etc. every, single day? I'm picking up a digital camera soon and would love to know how you did it.. Thanks!
Just guessing, but maybe he used a tripod, or set the camera on a table in the exact same position each day...Originally posted by: freedomsbeat212

For my pictures, consistency was an important goal because my original plan was to one day take all the photos and create an animated .gif or maybe an mpeg of my fat melting away. I may still do this. Anyway, what I did was place the camera on a tripod which never gets touched. I'm lucky enough to have a spare room that sees little traffic, but just to be sure I put tape marks down where the tripod legs should go. I also taped my "mark" on the floor so I'm always standing in the exact same place. I use the auto-timer on my digital camera to take the shots. That's basically all there is to it!
At one point the height of the camera was raised slightly (I think after picture #71), which is why my arms appear a little longer in every picture after that. Other than that little error, it's worked pretty well.

I and others have been using it as a training and progress log as well. I'd be happy to include you and DA if you're interested.Originally posted by: Dual700s

I'm in When do we start?
Great! Right away, I suppose. My question would be more of HOW do we start?
Can i get in on that too?

Thanks so much for the quick reply! Your experience really inspired me - I converted my room to a mini-gym this weekend so lets see how this goes! Since I have larger "man-boobies" than you did I figure that I won't be posting my progress online - well, maybe once I'm an A-cup
Thanks again and congrats!

So how's everybody doing? Quite a few of you seemed pretty motivated and were going to start getting cut up for the summer. I hope everything is going well...
Fatloss-wise I'm pretty much where I want to be at this point. I still have a tiny bit more fat to lose, but nothing major. Here's a before/after picture that I took yesterday. Unlike my daily pictures, I'm smiling, oiled and posed in this one. http://www.twowiresthin.com/john_wl_4_f.html
I also added an FAQ page to my website that addresses some of the more common questions I get asked: http://www.twowiresthin.com/wl2003/faq.html
Anyone who's been hitting the gym wanna give us a progress report?
