After shots
I didn't lose a WHOLE lot..but I think my progress needed these 6 months to gain strength in the gym. I used to bench only 80-120lbs, now I'm benching almost double what I started. I'll be continuing my cutting to get below 200 within this year. I started at 230lbs..and currently I'm 216. So I lost 14lbs. But I did gain strength, which I'll be using to burn more calories in the gym. Lift Hard to Lose Fat.
I'm definitely feeling comfortable wearing shirts..more fitted shirts to show off my guns in progress hehe.

You can def see a big change bro! Nice job! You look way more muscular and lean. Awesome progress

**bresine** · 06-03-2010, 05:01 AM

Ok so far we have final stats submitted by:

LeaninBack916 31 lb loss
big_rus 67lb loss
KrisKros 14lb loss
GregTR 41.7lb loss

Great Results!

Reminder...anyone in the running will have to submit their final stats and/or pics by the 10th.

**mcspam** · 06-03-2010, 05:59 AM

Man some really good results. I wish I would have gotten in some before pictures. I can find some close to what I was at the start though and then take some new ones for now, but like I said a while back I am not putting myself in the running because the lack of real before pictures. The guys so far it is gonna be tough. All the people in the running have great transformations. Good job to everyone.

Nice work everyone, repped the ones not on spread.

Bresine, you missed me at -17.2 lbs and Glen666 with +4lbs i think, it was a recomp for him though.

**GregTR** · 06-03-2010, 08:33 AM

This is my favorite part o the challenge! All the before/afters and fantastic weight loss feats are quite impressive! Congrats to everyone for a great job, I think we're all winners here!

**daYDreAmErX** · 06-03-2010, 08:40 AM

I'll take pictures this weekend.

For me it's :

Start 150 lbs
Finish : 136.5 lbs

Final weight: 196.8 (loss of 17.2 lbs, a bunch of it was water weight though).

Congrats! You're under 196.8. Weight loss is weight loss..water weight or not you look much better than when you started. Awesome job.

**KrisKros** · 06-03-2010, 08:55 AM

Definitely a big congrats to everyone. It took lots of motivation to stay in the mindset of losing weight..and this thread helped a lot in motivating. Nice to see everyone's progress (I'm not saying results because this is not the end). Everyone looks great, I wish we could all go for a round of beers hahaha.

Please have your final stats submitted by the end of day tomorrow 06/10/10. It's been 10 days since the challenge has ended and we have given ample time to those interested in the challenge to enter their final stats so if you want to be considered in the judging....you need to enter your final stats by tomorrow!!!

Participant with the most votes will receive a $25 gift card to bb.com.

So this is essentially the last call! ....be sure to submit your stats by end of tomorrow!

thanks again,

ben

**ECfromHTX** · 06-09-2010, 07:25 AM

I was a little over 230 lbs when I started the challenge. Around 232/233 and I finished at 216. So I lost about 16 lbs over the course of the challenge. Probably could've reached my goal if I would've kept boozing to a minimum and kept my diet in check but I don't think I'd last if I didn't allow myself to indulge every now and then. We did have some really good results though. Together Greg and Russ lost over 100 lbs which is absolutely amazing!! Congrats guys. LB you also get an honorable mention. Keep up the great work fellas.

**tykenfitz** · 06-09-2010, 07:22 PM

sorry forgot the starting weight I started at 250lbs and cut to 218.

**bresine** · 06-11-2010, 05:09 AM

Ok so the time period to submit your official stats is up! Honestly there is only a handful of folks that submitted their final stats. This may make the voting a little easier.

Anyone that would like to vote for who they think made the best overall improvement please send me your selection or simply post it up on here. For the sake of sportsmanship I kindly ask you to not vote for yourself.

There is only a few that hung in there till the end. To those I say a big thanks! I really hope the thread was even a little bit help in your motivation and goals.

For those voting all you have to do is take a look back on the thread a couple pages and read through. Like I said only a few are considered and have submitted their final stats.

Person with the most votes wins! ...so post up your choice.

Thanks!

**daYDreAmErX** · 06-11-2010, 05:20 AM

**mcspam** · 06-11-2010, 10:02 AM

My vote goes to GregTr, amazing losses during this time and the attitude he has towards fitness, it is a hobby not a burden. Hope to be like that soon.

**big_russ** · 06-13-2010, 06:37 PM

Guess I need to put my vote in... Gonna go with Greg, seems to be very well motivated like myself.

**GregTR** · 06-14-2010, 09:02 AM

I'm placing my vote on big_russ! Everyone who finished the challenge did fantastic. big_russ never deviated from his plan and he's definitely made fantastic progress toward his goal during the past 5 months. Congrats to everyone!

Oh and thanks for everyone who voted for me, I feel humbled!

**bresine** · 06-16-2010, 04:58 AM

Ok so far we have had a few votes come in....

GregTR is leading the pack with Big_Russ in a close 2nd.
(both awesome dedication!)

Hoping for some more votes next couple days....I know there were more people in it to the end that can vote...

i'd love to see those hahaha

My vote goes for Big Russ. With Greg right behind. It was a close one for me. Good job buddy. everyone did really well and I just wanna congratulate everyone who participated and stuck with it. You guys are a big inspiration. Thanks Greg for sharing the cardio stuff with us...you inspired me to actually do some jogging!

I'm now in a 90day contest, i'm doing pretty well still. Lifting hard..and i'm actually doing cardio now. Stay on the boards everyone..and i hope to see you guys around.

They,re not the most flattering, trust me

**padrote** · 06-19-2010, 08:51 AM

Casting my vote for GregTR, not only a lot of weight lost but also close to his goal.

**bbush36571** · 06-20-2010, 04:17 AM

Jan 1-220 lbs
June 1-198 lbs

**bresine** · 06-20-2010, 12:31 PM

Ok so this thread is pretty much done at this point. There was only a couple votes which is pretty hard to judge a winner based on a couple votes.

From what I saw the leaders and the only ones that folks voted for were:

GregTR and big_russ

You make the call....let me know who wins and then we can finalize this thing.
