Bomb transformation bmaczuga!

[chasingdreams14]

In on thread. Currently 265 at 6'6. Was skinny-fat for a long time, spent about a year bulking up and now have some gains but also have a slight gut. Starting on a cut in the next couple weeks, the goal is to get down to about 230ish in about 6 months. I'll post some more details and pictures later, good luck to everyone else on their transformation! We're all gonna make it

Hello!! I am new to BodyBuilding.com, but have been dieting and working out for a little while now. I have lost 147 lbs through diet and exercise, but just started weight training with a personal trainer last August. I have to say that in the last 5 months, I have gotten addicted to the lifestyle! I meal prep and work out and just joined this forum to try to learn more tips and tricks to maintain and improve my new body even more!

Oh ****! 2 different people! Awesome job

I started at over 225, and have lost 80lbs, primarily through changing how I eat. I have become a gym junkie over the last year and a half or so - with an addiction to lifting.

I am up 10lbs after a move to a new city and struggling to find new routine/gym where I am comfortable, and I am currently laid up after abdominoplasty with massive muscle repair..but I still have a ways to go. I don't have a weight goal, but rather a strength goal (which constantly changes with new PB's)

I am extremely proud of how far I have come.

Clearly I have no idea how to post pics!!!!

This transformation was from 8 months ago.
I was stupid and dreamer bulked, my bodyfat percentage was probably around 25-30%. Took me around 4/5 months to lose all the fat.
I looked like a twig after the cut, but I at least got rid of my belly.

Good job! You were at about the same starting point I was 3 1/2 month ago (27%BF). I'm down to 18% now and aiming for 12% in another couple of months.

My 4 months transformation

Hey, everyone! I'm new to Bodybuilding.com and decided to create an account after accomplishing a feat that I never would have imagined to be possible: I am no longer considered obese, and I am progressing towards reaching a healthy weight for what may be the first time in my life! I grew up poor in West Philadelphia and Chester, PA while being raised by a single mother, so healthy eating wasn't something that was stressed (or even affordable). Fast forward to January 14, 2016, and I reached the highest weight of my life: 300.4 lbs. At that point, I decided it was time to change my life.

I created a thread a few days ago, but I thought I would re-post the photo in this sticky. At 21 years old, I am in the best shape of my life (although still not optimal). At last check, I am 217.4 lbs, which is an 83 pound cut from my highest weight! My ultimate goal is to reach 180 pounds, as well as to build muscle.

Hi Guys, first post on the board after lurking around a lot. This thread sure is one hell of a motivational place!
After years of destroying my own body, i knew something had to be done. I used to be a chubby kid until i was about 15 years old, then got real skinny and tall in one summer. Gained little by little weight back for 8 years straight until 6 weeks ago i was at 183 lbs. Started having a really great and healthy cutting diet, documenting properly, started lifting easy weights to get to know the routine. By now i can really push my body hard within correct form, amazing to see and feel (step by step) progress!
Currently at 172lbs, guess i will need to cut down to 160 or when fat loss goal is reached before bulking up steady. In for the long haul!

Hey guys, i'm uploading one pic of me in 2013 at 180 lbs and of my currently 2 month progress pics.Long story short I stopped working out the past year and have been gaining fat slowly but surely, i'm getting back into it now and want to be as cut as i once was . My weight for 17 Dec 2016 was 200 lbs at 6'1 and i am currently now 200 lbs but more cut. I was wondering if you could give me an estimate BF percentage in my 2013 photo and my before and after current transformation as i'm trying to get back to being as cut as i was in 2013 but with a little more mass in my chest.Thanks.

Thanks

[RockyTop1982]

Hi there. Name is J.P., and I've lost 234 lbs. Before is 518lbs, after is today at 284.

Goal is to get to 218 lbs(I want to hit 300 lost) and then bulk up with muscle. May need skin removal surgery but it's all worth it.

So, I was 27yr old, with 77kg (170lbs), back in 2005, when I was diagnosed with brain cancer. Had surgery, removed part of the tumour, but I have developed epilepsy now. Last year, in July 2016, I did radiotherapy and started chemotherapy (am still doing, but a light form). During the radiotherapy, which lasted 2 months I had to be put on corticosteroids (dexamethasone) for a long time which basically made me have lot of appetite and retain lots of fat and water, and I just surrended to the drugs and its effects and ate a lot also, with no activity level.
By the end of the treatment I had gained 20kg (44lbs), and was weighing 97kg. Wasn't fitting on any clothes and just felt terrible. Then I decided to lose weight, by simply controlling my appetite and keeping the calories lower.
I kept on losing about a kilo (2,2lbs) on average per week.

So here 2 pictures, one from October last year, and one from today, April. Almost exactly 6 months apart.
I started a month ago to lift weights and I started a week ago a low carb diet, to try and help the seizures. I am still trying to lose a bit more weight (body fat).
Once I lose the little bit of belly that's still bothering me some, I will eat a calorie surplus and try to put on some muscles.

hi this is my first post guys i only get 4 hrs or 5 hrs of sleep sometimes 2 hrs then wokeup then force 3 hrs sleep again back to bed =( . im skinny fat 68 kg looking to be massive.bulky then lean , is it worth it to continue training or deal with my sleep issues first? ive tried everything tea melatonin changed the ******ce of my rum. still cant sleep. but im consistent with my diet (+1000 calories) and my training 3 or 4 x a week. in my first month now. please thanks guys. so basically im doing everthing right but i just cant SLEEP. thanks. please tell me what to do THANKS THANKS THANKS

I wish I had an answer on your sleep issues as I have them too....the only help I can give is to get your workout done early in the day to give the (CNS central nervous system) some time to calm down.

298 now. Looking for some guidance overall. Ideally I want to drop 100. I find weight training boring, enjoy jogging/running but i have no endurance and not sure where to go from here.

I find the time in the gym (working out) to be a chore as well....but seeing the results keeps me coming back. My greatest motivation is the mirror.

[QUOTE=MoeCrusader07;1398096633]Well, when I was 17 or so I originally made the change. That picture, I wasn't at my biggest (likely 300ish). I had a Bod Pod reading when I was 16 at a place I was training at in the football off

That's what I call motivation. A lot of folks give up because they don't have access to a gym...no excuses for you.
While I was working around a small injury or two I discovered bodyweight exercises and am I glad I did....not only are they hard but they really give you a solid core foundation....if your excuse is not having the wherewithal (financial, location, or injury etc) follow MoeCrusaders lead. If you have a bad knee...do chins. The motivated find a way.
