**Transformations from FAT to FIT** Part 2

[AntoineDufour]

Journey over the years. I learned tons through experience.

Eventually I'd like to compete but once I finish cutting a bit more I'm going to spend few years building more mass.

[caprica6]

For people who may have been skinny their whole lives, and put on 10 kg, think about it, they've never been 20 lbs overweight before, their experience leads them to feel like they're fat. I have plenty of friends who have gained 20 lbs, and the depression they go through is every bit as bad as when I was extremely obese.

Yeah, and I know I’m stating the obvious here, but it sounds like it needs to be stated. Our perception of what is fat has changed dramatically in the last 15 years or so in the US.

Many overweight and clinically obese kids today don't realize they're obese, and "knowing your weight status [is linked] to trying to change behaviors... Children who don't have a correct perception of their weight don't take steps to lose weight." From this article on npr.org yesterday: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014...t-dont-know-it

"Among children and teens who were actually designated by the CDC as overweight — or between the 85th and 95th percentiles on the CDC's growth chart — 76 percent thought they were "about right"; about 23 percent said they were overweight. Among obese kids and teens (those in the 95th percentile and higher on the chart), roughly 42 percent thought they were OK weightwise, while 57 percent thought they were in the "overweight" category. Boys, younger kids and children from poorer families were more likely to misperceive their status."


...

And since I'm here - thanks so much for sharing your progress, everyone.

I’m coming up on a big anniversary for my weight loss. I haven't had any major setbacks since 2009 thanks to the community here, and I was convinced to lose the weight in the first place by an old friend that I found out here. He’s now a bodybuilder and PT. I should add, this web site has taught me that it’s ok to gain weight as well, lol. #yaybodybuilding



We have another three month weight loss challenge starting in the Losing Fat section of the forums. (August 1st to November 1st.) If you’d like to join, here is the link: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=163035901

This challenge is open to all. Feel free to join even if you plan to end your cut one month in, etc. I’m no longer strictly cutting but I signed up anyway.

Got down to 330 based on diet. and started lifting. here is me at 314 in feb 2009 and 203 last week:

Before 168lbs
Now 147lbs
5'5 (and a half lol)

Mostly did keto to lose the fat with a few hiccups along the way. Now running RFL until I hit 22-23% then gonna get onto UD 2.0.

Great job so far

@kureransu :
314 lbs ?!?! Holy **** you've gotta be a giant and one massive dude for sure. Do you have any pictures next to regular people? Would love to see that...


I never was really fat but on my first real bulk I overdid it for sure.. while my abs were still visible actually my head just became the size of a freakin' watermelon and my chest started to become a bit droopy that's when I
knew I went overboard with this whole bulking thing. At first it felt great to be strong and make all other kids look small but when I realized how stupid I looked I swore I'd never let it go that far again.

Here's a couple at a "mighty" ~240lbs and then at a leaner 220lbs and 200 even looking and feeling a thousand times better.... comparing both body and face it almost looks like another person

This thread is amazing, and so motivating! I am new to the forum, and am looking around for some info/help for my husband and I and it seems really full of help for us!

I started my weightloss/fitness journey after having my second baby. I got to 108kgs with her and in these before photos I was 91kgs, 6 months after giving birth. I am now 68kgs (total lost 40kgs) and hubby has lost about 20kgs. Our lives have changed entirely and are so much better for it. We have fallen off the wagon a lot the last few years, giving up for months at a time but I have been doing really well for a long time again and he has just joined back in. Now we are both down to losing our last 5kgs and I'm wanting to tone up a lot, and he wants to bulk and cut some more fat. I have a lot of excess stomach skin that I will never get rid of but just part of huge weightloss!

I've spent so many hours reading through the forum since I joined last night so I can't wait to learn a lot more!

Here's my transformation, and a little of my hubbies too

Good lord what a transformation! Your face is still pretty cute in the before pictures but at that bodyweight it's hard for a woman to be attractive (no offense!) but in those recent shots you look
hot! Not sure if appropriate on here but I'll say it anyway - I'd hit it

Thanks for your comments- I always got the pretty face comments and people saying I didn't need to lose weight, glad I didn't listen!

You cheeky kent

[fixi]

good job

[WL93]

To be called or call someone else fat doesnt even make sense..you carry fat...yes its a common term used and we all know what we mean. But i think its unfair to say you cant call yourself fat unless you meet certain conditions.

Its like a spectrum- you can be at the lower end of being fat ( just overweight) or obese or morbidly obese...and so on...to the other end of the spectrum.

This is probably a year an a half transformation. The progress pic is a couple months old at this point. I was roughly 220 in the first picture went on the Keto diet was down around 200 was frail looking started lifting serious went back up to 230 while putting on a good amount of muscle and then dropped back down to 205 as i am in this picture.
