So this is what 50 pounds looks like? 5'11" 260 to 210

[Deadthrone]

July 2011 260 pounds



May 2012 210 pounds

Thoughts? I thought 50 pounds would look like a lot more. But I guess it doesn't since it's coming off my whole body not just torso/stomach areas.

sickening, gjdm

Major props on losing the 50lbs! When you start losing weight you wont lose it in a specific area such as the stomach. You will lose it in the face, arms, legs, and else where. Keep on shedding the weight man and your stomach will be gone in no time!

[Deadthrone]

Yea Matt I know, and thanks. I can't believe I let myself get there but I've promised myself I'll never let myself get like that ever again and was really enlightened last summer on how important it is to be physically healthy and active.

[Vazzil]

Keep it up man, I used to be like you were also. I was 240 lbs, 32%body fat. Are you doing cardio only or are you lifting as well?

[shawntoronto]

damn bro is that gyno or just a lot of fat on your chest? Yea 50 pounds is awesome just keep going it's a marathon not a sprint

[lakmir0]

Pay attention to your shoulders, arms, and chest. You have lost a lot there and probably more in your stomach than it looks. Visceral fat can be lost without noticing it externally. Hang in there as it will come off. Im still trying to cut my stomach and it seems everything else wants to go but that. But you've already went more than 1/2 way Im sure. Give yourself some credit and dont give up.

I'm not sure to be honest. Guess we'll see what they look like once I cut like 30 more.

Nice job keep it up! In no time all that fat will shed off

Make sure you keep up your protein, you dont want to lose muscle weight.

No sh*t sherlock. I didn't lose 50 pounds sitting on my ass.

To be completely honest I lifted from July up until November a solid 3-4 times a week with a 20 min LISS session after most workouts. From the beginning of November until the beginning of February I got inconsistent with the lifting and once February hit I didn't lift up until May started. I just got lazy and lacked motivation. I still kept my calories down throughout the whole time period and lost the last 10 pounds since February or somewhere around there. I feel my motivation level has risen back to what it was when I lifted for a good 4 months straight, so I'm feeling pretty good about this summer! I'm also graduating from high school in 2 weeks !

keep at it Bro, you can do it, never give up on the goal

My diet from juky to nov consisted of lean meat, some protein supps, lots of broccoli, eggs, brown rice. I used a lot if the iifym concept. If i ate out at fast food (hard not to during school with friends going out) it was mostly chicken tenders/sandwiches. The last 3 months or so though didnt count just ate whatever when i wanted and still lost. I learned how to control hunger, or what i thought was hunger which was really just eating because i like eating/ taste of foods.

[mclarengts]

good job man

[Baby281]

GJ OP. I dont see 50 lb loss but you probably lost fat somewhere else in your body. Keep working man.

[jkcstewart]

Great job!! cut back on the rice and bread. lots of carbs there. chicken tenders have breading on them as well. When i go to McDonalds or someplace like that i will either get a grilled chicken sandwich and toss the bread or I will just get the grilled chicken salad. I see great progress in the arms and upper chest areas. Don't give up. I hope this helps.

So you're implying bread is different from oatmeal?
How does you're body know the difference from blood glucose to blood glucose?
Op Good Luck Brother. Keep it easy & never quit homie.

[jee359]

Excellent progress.

Sounds like you're recommending keto? I wouldnt for anything long haul like what OP is doing. It will result in anger and loss of strength for lifting. Probably also result in giving up as well.

[JanSL]

Keep up the good work and don't give up!

[Kneasel]

great job on dropping 50, but man those pics don't look like a 50 pound difference...

are you simply dieting, or are you resistance training as well...

[Deadthrone]

Yea I really didn't think it looks like 50 either. Read above for your question.

[Mvp1985]

Relax, its not gyno, only fat! You are doing great, keep pushing, lifting and you achive your goal! Good job!
