Thanks for the kind words about the weight loss, everyone. I put up a before pic from about a year before I started loosing weight. This weekend, I plan on getting an 'after' pic.Did plyometrics tonight. I really enjoy the workout. It's just a bunch of jumping exercises. While doing the P90 workouts, I'd developed a bunch of habits to make the workouts more difficult - doing lifts slowly, and for cardio, always making sure my heart rate was above 130.
