My pics, + Battle with weight loss!

StrongIron84 · 09-20-2009, 04:01 PM

Hello, ive been posting on here for a few weeks now and figured id post some pics of myself for once, no 'no shirt' pics yet!

2-3 years ago when i was with my gf prob close to 300 pounds(my worst) damn girlfriends make you eat

Last year, right after i broke up with gf close to 280-285 pounds

this was in the beginning of summer at around 265 pounds or so, i stayed about 280 until i graduated in may and then got down to 265 or so before leaving for Korea this is right after i started working out hardcore for the first time in years

this was early august i was prob about 255 morning weight

that is my most recent pic(255)

i don't have anything more recent, i am prob around 243 or so morning weight now my scale today said 239 but its a little off its not a good scale

thanks for tuning in!

yeah the pics show gradual change, i just judge it based on my chest and face for pics that's where i see the changes the most in my pics since i don't take pics with my shirt off its hard to see the changes in my stomach, but i was at a 52+ inch waist and a size 44+ pants and now i am a 45 inch waist with a size 36-38 inch pants

hey well i only started really trying to lose weight after i graduated a few months ago, i just eat clean, a lot of protein... i lift about 6 days a week with 30-40 minutes cardio after each session, and im gonna be starting MMA training this week so that may help out a lot also, PM me if any more questions

bmcjames · 09-21-2009, 02:22 PM

Just keep at it man

I am one of the guys who would know how this feels personally. When I graduated HS I was right at 300. Just use all the haters who don't think you can do it to fuel you. You can do it, just make your self a commitment and don't sell yourself short!

Also be weary, having been heavy myself since I was a young kid I do have the "Big Guy Knee's" where they bend in slightly and your walk is a bit off. If you happen to have that be very weary of squats. Deadlifts should be fine for you and Leg Press like a monster but squats can really mess you up if your knees are bad from that (trust me, I just recovered from back surgery due to form being off because of messed up knees)

Cat Patrol · 09-21-2009, 08:41 PM

I can tell the difference, mainly in your face. Keep up the good work!

About 5 years ago, I was pushing 300 lbs at 6-1. I hated it. It was hard to even bend over and tie my shoes, my gut was so big.

dreadwing · 09-22-2009, 08:33 AM

Great work man, I have had a similar drop, I started out in June about 250.. I am now 215.
I see quite a few guys like your size at the gym and they are making progress as well, stuff like this is what motivated me to lose weight.

Best of luck.

StrongIron84 · 09-24-2009, 05:32 PM
