    I did a weight loss challenge with a few of my buddies that started at the begging of May and ended 4th of July weekend. $100 per person, $500 total for the winner, and the winner was determined by whomever lost the most weight percentage wise. I started at 182. Started to watch what I ate, how much, and exercising. Did P90X every night just about. Only missed maybe 5 days that whole time span. Also started walking during my lunch break at work, for about 40 minutes, pushing the pace to get that heart rate up. Got myself a FitBit, and downloaded this app called My Fitness Pal to help with the calorie intake control.

    The morning of the weigh in I stepped on the scale at 152.2. Both myself and my best friend lost 30 lbs but because he started at 215, I won because I lost more percentage wise. Won me some $500!!!!!!!!!

    Ever since then I have been trying to stay at around 155, which I have been just about, and started doing P90X abs every other day as well. Starting to get a bit of ab definition so hopefully that will continue!

    Good work you 2. Wish I knew then what I learned recently. I got to about 190 but gained about 15 back this yr. Been slacking on cardio but hitting them weights 4-6 nights a week. No running with my garbage knees.

    20 cases. That's a lot of water. Yes the 4x stuff is very nice, so isn't the Relentless stuff
    I'm working today too. Looks like you and I have the same schedule Billy

    Readyrefresh.com had a 50% off Sale up to 50$ on all first time orders. I go through about one case every 1.5 weeks and @DoubleRGirl can attest to how much zombie apocalypse prepping I do....

    Also ordered some BAMF bed rail tie downs.... They don't fit with my cap so I can't use them :(

    Why didn't the brackets work? I thought the caps fit more over the outside of the bed

    That's probably the difference between a 2 man operation and a Big company like 4x innovation.

    See attached photo. I would need to slot the bracket which would essentially make it weaker. In addition my cap would require it to mount upside down.

    410 lumens measured not estimated :)

    Oh I didn't know sos was a small operation I didn't look into them much haha.

    Diode dynamics - it's a brand I carry at my shop. They're built in the US and not oversea's and my buddy works for them. They are expensive but well l worth it. Let me know if you need any more info. I'm placing an order sometime mid-late September after I get back from my business trip
