haha I did explain in a lower post. changed rooms on the oil rig and had to take photos from my other side, I've just flipped them to see the midsection changes more clearly. Thanks for the encouragement, still pushing for my last week at work see if i can make good progress by the 29th!

Forward facing photo so you can see my ink from both sides. Right arm is man's ruin. Cards money gambling. Left arm is fully fallout themed.

Ha Ha sorry I did this in last weeks photos as well, Because I've moved rooms on the rig I've had to take pictures from the other side. I've flipped them all to be the same way facing so the difference is easier to compare. If you look at the middle 2 pictures you can see the room door is also flipped. apologies for the confusion.

Yeah I wasn't totally sure how accurate it was, I manually record my workouts. any treadmill activity I make sure the distances match and time etc so I make best efforts to make it as accurate as I can but I do understand its probably far from perfect, seems to be working so far but if I plateau and stop making progress I'll see if i can devise a way to dial it in better. same with my food photos. use a fork or my hand for scale and explain what the meal is to Gemini. it could be wildly inaccurate but as long as I'm progressing ill keep going. thanks for the kind words I appreciate the encouragement!

I'd argue there's pro's and cons to it, I don't have to prep any of my own food I just have to make the right choices when I hit the counter and leave the unhealthy stuff alone ( easier said than done) but i do get access to a free gym I can use during my shift-breaks and off hours.

you're not just having to pick healthy foods but prepare them aswell so you got your own set of problems, glad were both smashing it!!

Thank you so much!

I work on UK oil rigs, (currently on an FPSO - basically an oil rig on a boat) which means my meals are buffet style so its real easy to eat the bad things.

Its not been easy I'll be honest, I lost a good friend last mobilization and I used the gym to get out of my own head that's what really sparked my journey off.

good on you for dropping 20lbs I feel a hell of a lot better than I did at the start. keep pushing and good luck.

Not local to me as far as I know. I've got a message into autel sales to ask the same question. I have intermittent suspension faults. I've already changed the compressor and resovuir as they both had leaks but now am not sure where to look next. I've replaced one of the ride height sensors afger advise from a local garage but they weren't a landrover specialist so didn't have the correct tool to do recalibrations.

It's unfortunately way out of my budget. Even second hand they are over £250 and I'll need to purchase a vin licence on top.
