Brave man! If I posted a shirtless picture blogger would probably shut down my account.

I just ate 1/2 a chocolate bar.

I might have to adopt your plan.

If you haven’t seen them yet sparkpeople.com and calorieking.com are both really good sites for tracking what you are eating.

Welcome back! You don’t really have that much work to do so I hope you have fun doing it!

I guess I’m in worse shape than you. Let me know how you plan on getting rid of the “belly-jelly”, this is also my problem zone.

I think you are just shilling for compliments. You sexy thing, you!

LOL! I’m not laughing at you, Mark. I’m just laughing because there’s just nothing you won’t post a picture of here. Complete lack of fear. I guess that skirt incident has made you pretty brave. Good luck in your quest. I’m looking forward to the dramatic before/after comparison.

wow 21stcenturymom I didn’t even know chocolate bars came in halfs.

LOL. You really shoulda had the skirt on for that one.

Thanks everyone.

21st Century Mom: Eat the other half for me.

Jeanne: Fishing for compliments? On what? (that question is not fishing either!)

Jack: I’m going to post my plan shortly.

Jon: You’re damn right - there can be no shame after a 39 year old man puts on a pink skirt and bra.

Pam: I ain’t putting it on again!

You rock! I just watched your running skirt debut. You’re a very brave man. Much applause coming your way from Edmonton!

Keep up the good work. You can do it! You’ve encouraged me to keep up my own “get-back-in-shape” training.

Yeah, I took a picture that looked just like that not so long ago.

Difference was, I was happy about it!

Here’s to losing the rest of the belly jelly, brother.

Ok, now I know I need to get in shape but I will not resort to putting a shirtless picture on my blog as a motivator.

Good luck with it Mark. Heh, maybe we should have an RBF challenge to see who loses what by say the end of the year.

I have determined that spandex shorts are the most unflattering thing I can ever put on my body. I don’t think I will ever post any photos of me in them unless whiel racing, and still then very unlikely without a baggy run top over them Go you!

Brave man! Can’t wait to see your plan. My wife’s been poking me in my belly lately, and it’s starting to tick me off. I’ve been pretty good about cardio, but always bad about working on the abs.

Way to go, Mark!! As you know you have started a trend. On our own Fort Bend Fit website, you can see that we are raising money and accepting donations for the Houston Food Pantry in order for our own Mark to wear a pink running skirt as you did. Good luck on your quest to get in shape! I lost 58 pounds a few years back and joined a marathon training program. I’d like to say the rest is history, and since I’m training for my first 50 miler in February, you would think I would be just getting better and better… But no, I have gained weight! So I, too am on this fitness quest! Good luck to everyone. I know we can do it! Oh, and no pictures from me either!
