Would you mind sharing with me your story and routine?
I don't have a photo without my shirt on at the start (it wasn't pretty), but I'm sucking in my gut hard in the attached photo.
Stats:
43 years old
6'5" tall
Start NOV 2016 - 250 lbs, roughly 28-29% BF, 36/37 inch waist.
Lost 60 lbs in 6-7 months down to 190ish.
Photo is from OCT 2017 - 198 lbs, roughly 15% BF, 31 inch waist @ about 4 months into a planned 1 year lean bulk to 215 lbs.
I still have a long way to go to get where I want, the journey continues...
Not sure I'd say I'm fit now but here's me since I got back into the gym a year ago or so

Not at all
I was a guy who had always been heavy and had really low self esteem and didn't really think I was able to lose weight, even though I knew it was physically possible I didn't think I had enough discipline or character to do it.
At 2015 I was at my heaviest at 168kilo and a friend talked me into trying a 5:2 diet, it was real easy to maintain since you could eat whatever you wanted for 5 days a week and stick to 600calories for just two days. Being healthy for just those two days carried over to trying to be healthy the other 5 days a week aswell, to some degree, and I started losing some weight. As I mentioned in my previous post, I literally googled "fat people losing weight pictures" or something along those lines, hoping to find some pictures of other people who had done it and maybe get some inspiration. I found the first Fat to Fit thread started by Craned and when I saw what people had gone through, the time it had taken them and the stories they told about how they never thought they'd be able to lose weight but still did it got me motivated enough to go down to the gym and get after it.
At the end of 2015 I had pretty much given up on 5:2 but I still went to the gym, at this point I didn't have a training program I just lifted and moved some weights around I saw laying around. But going to the gym without progressing got to me eventually and by the end of the year I changed to a ketogenic diet and found a beginners training program somewhere on the internet where I trained legs/back/chest/shoulders/arms monday til friday.
I did that for about a year and went down to 137kilo by the end of the summer of 2016.
But I felt that the ketogenic diet was too hard for me to stick to, as I was often cheating on it and didn't have the character to stay strict for a long enough period of time for me to progress. I dare say I used to cheat ALOT when it came to that diet in particular. In the fall of 2016 I started counting calories as a very basic level and in the spring of 2017 I got on the Growth Stimulus Training program I found on this forum. It worked really well and I got down to 92kilos in no time.
Latesummer/Early fall of 2017 is when I decided to really step up my training, I changed training program once again to The Viking's the bare bones upper/lower split program, a program I am on today still, also found on this forum. I started controlling the nutrient in the food I ate and I still control my calorie intake, I'm trying to stay at a caloriebalance at the moment. I also took upp running on the side after getting inspired by ultramarathonrunners and ran my first 6mile race in October of 2017, I really liked it and I've kept running since then and signed up to run Stockholms Marathon this summer. I also took up swimming this winter but I havn't gotten that far with it yet, there is only so much time but I try to go atleast once or twice a week.
This is only the beginning though, Chapter one just ended and it's time for chapter two of my life to begin and 2018 will be the year I get to where I want to be, which is alot stronger, alot faster and have alot more endurance. And also do something about that excess skin I've got.
Maybe I'll come with another update in 2019 =)

Thanks for sharing your story with me.. you've been where i'm at now, so you know how inspiring you can be. thank you and, one more time, congratulations. you're the top 1% in terms of achievement. Very few people can achieve that kind of change, in any area of their life.
My story is similar to yours. I've always been fat, lost a lot of weight, put it all back, lost a bit again, put it all back again and even more.. now i'm focused again. Right now I'm lacking a good lifting program to follow, I'll take a look at the ones you mentioned.
I'm eating around 2400 kcal a day, a very healthy diet.. a bit too much calories but this time I'll try a more feasible diet.
I hope that by january next year I'll be able to post my story here too.
Thanks!

No problem, and thank you for your kind words. But the truth is everyone can achieve what I've done so far, it's only the beginning that's tough. I know everyone who loses weight says this, but if I can do it anyone can, and it's true. I had absolutely no discipline in any aspect of my life, no belief in my self and no character at all, that is why I thought I would never be able to lose weight eventhough I knew it was physically possible. But all of those characteristics can be built over time by, in my case anyway, just showing up and continuously failing.
It will take time, it took me years but by just showing up to the gym and going back to your plan, even when you fail at sticking to your diet for a day, or ten days. 80% of your success is just showing up, even when you don't want to. Even if you're not going to get anything done, show up. Also failing was a huge part of it and I know it's a huge cliché to say but it's true, it's from failure you'll learn and grow and through your journey, if you fail alot, you will grow alot and learn alot, just stick to your plan and don't give up.
Once you get to the point where you've built up the necessary characteristics to stay disciplined, to stay motivated and you've reached your goal, eventhough I havn't quite reached mine yet, it will carry over to other aspects and areas of your life aswell, atleast this rang true from me.
Looking forward to see your post next January.
[QUOTE=benusso;812336051]I have a question to you, what about your skin after transformation ? Is it terse ? What do you do to have terse skin on stomach after transformation ?[/QUOTE]
This! Genetics? Some kind of shapewear? Any magic pill?
Have seen some drastic changes in relatively short time... Some of them messed with loose skin...others didn't have a sign how fat they were.
[QUOTE=umadbroski;1536015431]Went from 87kg to 63kg losing a lot of muscle and ending up skinny fat, then up to 76 kg and back down to 64 kg being more careful on the cut, that is the last pic and my current physique.[/QUOTE]Great Progress!!
[QUOTE=AmandaLaughlin;1519665461]Here is my personal transformation! I was a yo yo dieter and exerciser for years and never lifted heavy weights (I dabbled in crossfit but never lifted super heavy there) until I met my husband who introduced me to powerlifting. Approximately one year separates these photos although my "before" physique stayed the same until this January. We began lifting and hitting conditioning workouts consistently in our garage gym and also began incorporating a lot of strongman movements into our workouts which did wonders for my physique. We began cutting in June for our first physique and bikini competitions which are coming up on November 4th and with our nutrition dialed in were able to take our transformations to the next level! I'm very excited to compete! [/QUOTE]
Great transformation wow!!
Still along way to get but we are getting there
It took about 18 months or so but here's mine. Approximately 70 pounds lost.

Hey guys!
I'm pretty new to this forum, hopefully I can get your input.
So I've always been a pretty tall (6'0), yet kind of weak guy, especially hips up. My weight is alright, a bit overweight (185 lbs) and the way I lose weight is flat out weird: my waist and chest get smaller and my lower belly and love handles store all the fat. I've lost 40 lbs and hit a plateau.
Do you guys have any tips for guys with an uneven body type like myself (skinny chest/arms/torso and fat legs/lower belly/love handles)?
Thanks guys!
Well played!
