tubbykid · 04-29-2009, 10:13 AM

Hello, so I started my journey weight loss journey 16 months ago. I have gone from 298lbs to 208lbs.
At the begining of this year I started taking progress pictures to track, because I am not losing lbs but tightening up I believe.
Here are the pictures:

Amazing transformation! Before you looked quite chubby, now you look more like a monster of muscle. Keep doing what you're doing.

And shaving is always a succes, keep doing that :-D

Thank you. My goal is to see some abs for once in my life (will take a long time).

Thanks! It's good to hear from others what they think, because personally I can't see much of a change in this 3 month period. It's very frustrating.

Thanks for all the comments so far!

Thanks I appreciate it! This has been 15 months or so of work to get from the 33 to 18%. Hard, but well worth it.

So does anyone have a guess of my BF?
Thanks!!

Any guesses?

Also I'm a little unsure on the amount of carbs I should be eating. I am currently around 150grams is this to much?
Thanks

It looks like you have gained a lot of muscle but only lost a little fat-- but the overall look is much better. At some point you might want to try to cut back the fat just a bit... but as it is now you're looking good so it depends on your goals.

My goal is to lose this gut.

70-80grams a fat is to much?
Any input is appreciated thanks.

lyricalnut02 · 05-11-2009, 10:06 AM

awesome change for the time, what was your diet like? and exercise/cardio routine.

haha Thanks I really appreciate it. It keeps me motivated, I WILL hit 198lbs SOON. I want to join the 100lb lost club!

In the next couple of days I will put up pictures from the VERY beginning of it all about 15 months, those pictures are just insane.

futurebird · 05-12-2009, 09:00 AM

"Tubby" don't mind me I know very little of these things. I was trying to say you look much bigger but by no means "super lean" but I think you know that!

You should change your name to brawnyguy.

PuNk3rz · 05-12-2009, 05:09 PM

damn dude, your lookin good (no homo) lol
just saying that cause of how big i was to.
and yea theres a HUGE difference.
ill def. use this as a confidence booster.

iPump · 05-12-2009, 09:16 PM

Good job man. You should be proud of yourself.

Keep it up.

amardeus · 05-12-2009, 09:21 PM

Dude great progress.

Keep doing what you have been doing, it is definitely working. No reason to change anything with the great progress you've been making.

18% bf seems reasonable.

Ok good I will keep it up then. Hopefully I can tone up a little more for summertime.
I cut my calories about 200 calories to help that. Hopefully is works.

Thank you everyone for your compliments. It makes me want to keep on truckin along.
