Edit: i am aware the bf readings on the handheld were off.


Edit: a lot of people asked for more pics. I posted a ton more pics tracking my progress at 161-163

Great progress but I'd say you are much closer to 15% than 9,5%...GJDM

[Caxoo]

Very impressive you honestly didn't look obese before though

Diet plan?

Might not be the best advice, but this is what i did for whatever its worth:
tried to eat at around a 500 cals deficit per day. Some days I was as low as 800-900 cals. VERY low carbs (sub 50 some days. usually 50-100)
Usually took a cheat day or meal once a week. Some weeks I skipped it.
Lifted 6 days
Did cardio/HIIT 3 to 4 times a week (that means gym two-a-days on those days)
Tried to eat 125-150 protons a day

was not trying to claim anything or estimate. specifically said I was just going by what OMRON monitor said. Realize it can be way way off.

thats what those are...pieces of crap. It reads your heart rate and the numbers you type in, weight and height. You were definitely over 30% from the looks of that pic and your probably around 13-14% currently.

Great job man

[Amillion]

good job OP were you tan in the 2nd pic

Not Sheriff srs.
I know it sounds crazy but i don't think i was that tan. I had just ran a 5k and was flush. I think a combination of that and lighting. Must have been somewhat tan though. Taken during summer.

Sick knt
Pretty impressive, were you into lifting before this transformation and did you track all your macro's?
Im interested because I was obese at first 2 but it took me waaaay longer than this. Good job opie

[Treeling]

Was underweight growing up. Slowly got fatter in my 20s. A few times i worked out and ate right for a few months at a time and got pretty lean. (looked pretty similar to present after those periods) Always went back to being fat slowly.
Didn't track macros too closely. At first i would just lean VERY clean but as much quantities as I wanted. Later i curtailed quantities too. I worked out Religiously as well. Worked out on days when i was at a huge caloric deficit. Many times twice a day.
Was pretty obsessive about it for a while. Started bulking again recently and gotten a little fatter but not too awful.

[goremotel]

youre wrong about the bf% but gjdm

[Badboy2spotntal]

How fast were you losing weight?

At first it FLEW off. Started around 190. Was down to 175ish within a matter of a few weeks. Lost about a couple pounds her week for a while. When i got down to 12% (On the piece of crap monitor)- around 160ish it became very hard to lose more. Slowly got down to about 150. Took around the same time to lose the first 17 as it did the last 2 or 3. ( i think-it's been a little while since I started so I am doing my best to recall)

DIET OF PEACE! good lord OP how did you make it

Was very hard. Pissed off all the time. Surrounded by junk food all the time. When i started to lean out and people started mirin it inspired me to fight threw and became habit.

That is no where near 15%. That is very close to 10%
