[bama5584]

My final weight is 144.5 lbs .

Wow... nice work Mag! I've been miring your hard work and dedication this entire thread.. I'm sure everyone has!

I didn't get the chance to weigh this morning. I'll weigh tomorrow... was hoping for 220 when the thread started... now hoping for 225, so not too bad.

I did take a new progress pic yesterday... check it out in my bodyspace if you're interested.

Nice job everyone. It was truly a pleasure to be in this comp

This^^^

First day back to the gym today. My arm still hurts but it's probably 60% better than it was. I left my gymnastic rings and my ab wheel at home but took my new lifting straps. I made up a little routine in the squat rack that was sets of squats, overhead presses, deadlifts, repeat. I started with an empty bar and added 5 lb plates to each side one at a time until I got to 40 pounds (after a month off and at my age, I'm successful if I avoid pain). I did some L-seats and some progressive sets on an ab machine that let me move the weight with my chest (no arms). Then, I went home.

I'm going to work up from here.

Be careful!

RE: (after a month off and at my age, I'm successful if I avoid pain)

you act like you're an old man or something...sheesh!

I <3 y'all. Congrats everyone...one more day. I am so proud of all of you. I can say I wish I would have made it further in my journey, but I'm glad of what I've accomplished and y'all have made the journey more fun than if I'd have been on my lonesome. Have a great summer and I hope to see y'all over in the new thread...but you can bet I'll be checkin' in on this one too.

If you've reached your fat loss goals...good luck with your bulk or just maintaining...whatever your goals are, you can and will achieve them.

((((((((((((((hugs for all)))))))))))))))

Was great to go through this will everyone.
Hope to see some of you back in the one crystal has created.

Made it farther than I ever thought I would.
Can't help but say a lot has to do with everyone's support.

Good work, bro! Are you going to keep polishing that look over the Summer? I'm going to hang in Crystal's new thread and my new Avi is going to be my "before" picture in August.

I'm about half way to where I want to be so I'm still going strong! I going to get to ~10% before I start to bulk. I'm hoping I'll get there around 190-195lbs. My overall goal is to first cut all this fat, then slow clean bulk back to 220-230, then work like hell to cut back down and maintain at ~10% and 210-215lbs.

I'm going to post my final weight here in the morning, but I'll head on to that thread as well

[Earlbolus]

Tomorrow is the big day, let's see what the scale says by then!

[theconomist]

Final weight in for me is today ( not working out tomorrow) scale at 193,6
When I started 217,8
24,2 pounds lost
I really don't feel 24 pounds lighter but everyone is noticing how I lost weight and I can finally my biceps so I must be doing something right haha.
Signed up for the next comp as well.
I did 24 pounds this time around let's see if I can top it and do 30 in the next one. 30 would be sweet I'd be at a ''normal weight'' for the first time ever .

So yeah 24,2 pounds lost here, 11,1 percent of my body weight

[live4gs]

Can I just skip the last weigh in and just go to the new one? (just kidding )
Congrats to all that made progress. After last weekend I will not be suprised if it's another
plus in weight in for me.

But now on to the new thread starting June 1!! Well after my last weigh in on Friday.

[Boombaux]

not sure i'm going to be content with the weigh-in later today...i've been slacking pretty bad with calorie/macro counting. today i had a home-made cookie, 3 boiled eggs, a home-made neopolitan, and some pasta salad. only counted the eggs. hopefully not over 2400 cals but i'm going to get back on track tomorrow

[DefiningMoments]

Beginning of competition Weight: 180lbs

Final weight: 154lbs!!!!!

Total weight loss 26lbs!



At the beginning of this competition I was wearing my old fat clothes size XL and 38 jeans (TIGHT around the waist)
My family said I look fine, regular, whatever. I guess its because its the norm to be overweight in America. F*** that! lol

Now I'm wearing my medium sized shirts, 33" jeans. Yesterday this guy I know at the gym admitted he was gay to me and said I was handsome. And that a few a months ago I used to be thick and now I'm small and that I look handsome no matter what weight I am. Yes awkward moment was awkward. Tonight when I was working out at lifting weights I saw this girl in the elliptical checkin me out a little bit. Feelsgoodman.jpg

I'm definitely not done yet cutting so I'm in the June-August competition and probably will cut slower in that one down to 140lbs

Being in this competition definitely help me out though seeing others progress and also helped me not want to lose weight the FAST way like 5lbs a week or whatever. Thanks y'all. I thought I was gonna be fat again like high school I guess not

[Earlbolus]

Final weigh-in: 215.2 lbs that's a loss of 3.3 lbs

Great job DefiningMoments! And the rest of you all!

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the motivation you have given me, even when I seemed to have stalled, you guys were there to push me in the right direction! I am ready for the next step and so I'll be in the Jun-Aug comp too!

I also put some progress pics (first one is at the beginning, second one at the start of this comp, third one is now):

[PunkyCindy]

double post oooops!

[PunkyCindy]

final Weigh in: 188 lbs

Well Ladies And Gents...Oh he** who am I kidding? Well, guys and gals...that's better ....it's been real, it's been fun, and except for the motherfrickin' (stole it from troy on swamp people) hunger it's been real fun.

In the last 3 months I've lost 16 lbs.
I've lost 20 1/2 inches from all over my body.
I've went from 2x workout pants to L (One day I'll buy jeans and find out how many real pants sizes, but that will be later on...I'm content with sweats, yoga pants, bicycle shorts, and pjs for now. )
I've also gained a new family here on bbing......<3 y'all!

[bama5584]

Nice work everyone above!!!

I started out at 265lbs January 1st, 2012.

Taken March 1st at 243lbs


Taken May 30th


228lbs for my final weigh-in.

Gained 2lbs since last week. First time that's happened since I started this journey.

On a positive note.. I've lost another inch in my waist... 47" when I started, down to 40" now.

[devices]

Final weigh in: 264.
I started at 288 a week before the competition started so a loss of 24 lbs. I can do better in the next comp. Great job everyone with your losses.

[Sup3rm4N]

361.6

[theconomist]

Already posted my stats see you on the next comp.

24,2 lost

[bongfong]

Final weigh in: 158.4 lbs.

Total weight loss is 24.6 lbs or 13.4% of my starting weight. My waist went from 36.5" to 31.5" during this comp. Thanks for the support from everyone here! I probably would have stopped cutting a long time ago when friends and family kept telling me I was getting too skinny but I'm glad I kept on it. I was carrying a lot of body fat in my before picture that I didn't know until comparing them to now. I'll post before/after pictures when I get home tonight.

It's been fun, nice job everyone!

congrats! You look great! I bet it was an awkward moment with that guy, but you should be really flattered....probably wasn't very easy for him to admit that to you. In any case getting admired is getting admired.
