Started at 307lbs - Now weigh 183lbs pics inside

[ilovegreg05]

I started 307lbs looking like this:








NOW I look like this at 183lbs: I've already got a surgery lined up for my loose skin on my belly











Also, can I get some bodyfat estimates and critiques?

Keep pushin' it bro!

Fantastic work brotha. Great results on your arms and chest. All the best with your surgery, but I have to ask is there no way it will tighten up over time?

Nah, not that I've come across. I'm ready to be complete and worry about getting alot bigger now. I'm 90% sure I'll have abs after the surgery but who knows at this point.

Bump for bodyfat estimation

[Stalldad]

Hard to tell with the loose skin but somewhere around 14-15%, maybe less. Great job on the transformation, repped.

Thanks bro, yeah abs are an important part of the estimation so it's hard to judge haha thanks for the help man.

[Hookup]

great job repped

How many calories did you cut on? and how fast did you drop this weight?

Calories and macros constantly changed with bodyweight/strength..etc.

Took about a year for the first 100lbs and another year for the other 20lbs.

Great transformation--repped! Did you have any cardio in there or was it just hard lifting with a clean diet (and patience)?

I love to see transformations like this! Fantastic!

[EliteFootball]

GREAT TRANSFORMATION MAN !

1 question, after the surgery is complete, will you one day be able to see your abs once you work on them?

Get what I mean? Or will you just have a flat stomach?

[Lupes Return]

Do you ever play with all that skin? I would.

Awesome and inspiring transformation my man

[TSFP]

Nice man! Inspiring!

[LightsOut06]

Great job bro. Inspiring

[joeturner]

really want to know what your macros are!
also, for that last 20lbs, what did you use for your workout routine???

I'm in a very similar situation, now considering sugury. I hit a low of 142 when I was anorexic (from 470) now bulked back to 200, but not intentionally that high. I lift hard 3x a week, and eat about 2000 a day, and am trying to CUT but not cutting...

i'm pretty sure i screwed up my metabolism, as gaining 60lbs in 6months eating NOTHING more then 2000 per day...yeah... LOL

(i was under 500 cal for over a year, and in 6 months i DID get huge strength gains... but now i have a huge lower skin/fat issue on my belly)

please update with how you dropped that last 20!

[Protonz]

Great work my friend. I disagree with the person above about your bf %, I'd say more like 13%.

Good to see you kept motivated even though the loose skin and shit.

Mate, if your eating healthy, working out 3X a week and eating 200-300calories below your maintenance you should be loosing weight for sure.

Hit up these websites if you need an idea of how many calories you should be eating http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

And use this website to assist in making a diet for yourself. http://swole.me/

Hope all works out

[joeturner]

i use those sites. They don't take into account for someone who has eaten SUB 800cal for over a year. I seriously think i have a messed up metabolism.

there was a point, for months on end, where i ate a single BOWL of rice every OTHER day (and coffee/tea/mints/gum) ... PLUS running my ass off every day!

Sounds you need to take a step back to take a few steps forward.

1st, ask yourself if you're really following your diet. Then if/once you are slowly ramp up your calories until you are eating more but maintaining 200lbs then add some cardio and taper back down slowly. Key word here is slowly.
