8 Months - From 270lbs to 195lbs at 6'1 (-34kg / -75lbs)

**sh0rty88** · 11-26-2013, 06:55 PM

Hello all, i've been a member for a long time now...I recently decided to get back in shape considering I put on alot of weight in the past years, junk food and being inactive were the cause of my fat gain.

I started my "diet" in february, during the week days I eat tuna, greek yogourt, vegetables and a ham sandwich with whole wheat bread. That is 4 times a week and for dinner I mostly eat chicken breast/steak with brown rice...On the weekend tho, I have one big cheat meal which is 95% of the time, a meat fondue with potatoe+cheese and 2 bottles of wine (were 3). When i go out with friends I dont stop myself from drinking beer, just not as much as i used to....

I workout 5 days a week and my program is something like :
Chest/Biceps
Day Off
Triceps/Back
Legs
Day Off
Shoulders and Traps
repeat
With about 15-20 mins of cardio on two of those days. I didn't do any cardio until June.

As you can tell from the pictures there was some progress, and i'm damn proud about it ! I get alot of compliments from my entourage now and from strangers !! It just feels great !!!
I still have fat to loose (chest and mostly lower stomach area) but I'm gonna give everything i've got in the next few weeks to hit 185 and see from there ! I will have to cut on that big cheat meal because it seems I hit a plateau...

Those after pics...well i had a few cheat meals this weekend so yeaaaa ;p

What do you guys think !? Thanks =)

I forgot to mention that when I started my diet I was taking fish oil, multivitamins, green tea extract and whey protein...Since this summer i've been taking Hyper Shred (1 in morning), multivitamins, fish oil and whey protein.

I also did LASIK eye surgery in september ! (not that it matters much)

Dang man nice work! I've gone from 291-186 since march lifting 6 days a week and I still look chubby haha at 6"1. Good job repped

**Cast0rTr0y** · 11-26-2013, 07:03 PM

Wow, good job dude! Very very impressed for just 8 months. I've been cutting for 10 months and i've only dropped 50lbs.

**MrM27** · 11-26-2013, 07:17 PM

Yea man. That's a pretty great transformation. Your dedication is obviously paying off.

This is no way a know on what you have done. I think you could expand your menu and also make great strides on a compound lifts program.

Repped.

Sick progress !

If you dont mind me asking, do you have loose skin around the stomach ? I can pull/grasp mine but i know there's plenty of fat left, it just doesn't look good when sitting down...I hope the next 10-20 lbs will do it ! And those damn stretch marks to be gone...altho they already did fade a bit....

Keep going, don't give up ! Maybe you could do a lil bit of cardio to shed those last few pounds....I'm not going to tell you to count calories because I didn't, but just watch what you're eating during the week and you will definately see results !

Yup around the stomach I do have some and I believe it makes what fat is left look a lot worse than it really is lol

Small update since my last post ! I've been around 195 lbs during winter...I'm very happy with my results so far !!! In the first week of I went to Cuba and since then, I've been "dirty" bulking lol...

It was good for my mental and it gave me a break..although I kept working out at least 3x a week, I did put a little bit of fat back on (202) BUT I started eating clean again and working even harder to prepare for Mud Hero and Tough Mudder this summer !!!

Here's a pic of me in Cuba !! Goooooo me !!

Good job man, look like a completely different person from when you started.

**SuperStudGG** · 04-03-2014, 03:06 AM

You look great, awesome job

**DarthInvadeHer** · 04-03-2014, 04:26 AM

Nice change from your first set of after pics to the ones you just posted. Looking even better now.

**appletoper** · 04-03-2014, 07:58 AM

Well done!! That's very inspiring, and you've managed to keep it off which is hard in itself!!

**riverratjv** · 04-03-2014, 08:30 AM

Nice Work Shorty!! You are wear I want to be.. it's also nice to see someone on here over 5'10'' How did you get rid of that chest fat? We have a similar build and that is a huge weak spot for me.

Keep it up!! I'm sure you inspire more people that you think..

Heya ! Thanks for the compliment ! Honestly...I think you can't spot an area of fat you want to loose...what did it for me is : healthy food (I don't count anything and I drink on weekends), I workout 5x every 8 days and time ! On my chest/bicep day, I do Barbell bench press, incline machine press and cable cross/flyes
