Dropping in for what will almost certainly be the last time. Will JSF disappear at Midnight? It won't be my midnight (GMT), I'm sure. Which will it be, Hawaii, Alaska, Pacific, Mountain, Central, or Eastern Time Zone Midnight? Will I navigate to the site tomorrow morning when I wake up? What will I see? Will it seem weird, even though I know it will be going? Made a final copy of my Journal this evening along with all the fitness challenges that I'd been involved in. Thought it would...

Take care boys- old skoolers all round haha. I cant add any more- this place changed my life too. It’s hard to express, but I think the thing I’ll take away is the sense of dedication- MACHINE MODE I wish I’d stopped by more in later years, but we can all be glad for the manic early years and the buzz this place had (all thanks to FARK haha ..read more

Maybe this is a journal lol! 10.2kg down in 42 days. Back in the gym. And how did we ever manage to cut all those years ago in the days before MyFitnessPal??! These kids today got it so easy ..read more

Like others, it's hard to fathom what's going to transpire very soon. Thanks to Graham we can continue and just to reiterate what I've written before a huge thanks to John for creating and running this site for so long. It's literally changed people's lives and created friendships, both online and in person. Beyond the support and accountability I've received regrading fitness, it's been a pleasure to read about the non fitness aspects of my JSF friends' lives. Marriages, children, sad...

So this is goodbye.... JSF, you've changed my life. Without John and the wonderful community he helped create I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't have found the inspiration and courage to change my life for the better. Looking back I would have either continued down the path of drugs, drinking, and obesity, spiralling out of control ending up in a ditch somewhere or...I wouldn't have succeeded in committing suicide.

Steps yesterday: 15,680; 41 day average: 13,698 After workout protein shake: Day # 25/25. Tues - 2/11/20. shoulders; triceps; squats. Sauna: 20 minutes. m-t-d workouts: 8/11. I thought about taking a rest day, but since it was the last day for this fitness site, that didn't sit well. I had a pretty strong workout. When I skip lifting for a few days, the first day back, I never know what to expect. When I was home, my thighs felt so tight, I was thinking, how will I be able to do squats...

What a wonderful post. Even though you haven't posted much of late, which is understandable given all the other tugs on your limited time, it was a pleasure meeting you and Sara as well as reading about what's going on in your life and I hope to read more about it on the site that Graham set up. Lastly, those are two great photos of very adorable looking kids ..read more

Since the forums close tomorrow, this will be my last post. I have enjoyed meeting everyone on here and have really been blessed to be able to meet several of you in person. I hope yall will join the new forums and stay in touch. This site has kept me honest with my workouts. Since I travel frequently and when not travelling work out alone at home, this journal provided the accountability I needed. This site also provided the knowledge and motivation I needed.
