photosis this the same body?

beforeafterBy popular demand, I've updated my belly pic. Here you go, see for yourself my dramatic change. I can't believe that was me in 2003!! I'm now working towards toning and shaping up my midsection with the help of my trainer. I will update this photo in a couple of months. To answer the most popular question I get..."What about excess skin?" Well my friends, see for yourself, I have none! I've been swimming and hitting the gym since day one. I also go for a weekly massage, which helps me relax and my skin to breathe. If you have any questions or fears or compliments or whatever, please feel free to contact me anytime - charles@massivemeltdown.com.
