**Transformations from FAT to FIT** Part 2

Roughly a little over a year ago, @ 190-200 pounds. This was after my freshmen year... diet was McDonalds, Five Guys, Subways, Pizza, everything you can possibly imagine. All around my high school, was somewhere tempting to eat. I was eating and eating and before I knew it, I ballooned. Thankfully, a gym opened in my town and my mom forced me to go. I am now 155 pounds. I know it's not the greatest transformation, but it helps me to keep on going, seeing how much I've changed.
BTW, off topic but, what can somebody guess my body fat %?

Ok that was a pretty sick Transformation Mr. back2life
Congrats

thats really great

Wow! You look amazing back2life.

thanks bros. i have some more laying around on my old HDs. I should probably sift through them just to make a personal collage of some sort lol.

these pics are from around 2011-2012. my heavy duty digital scale only went up to 440 so i dont know how much i truly weighed. it took me about 10 days of intense lifting/cardio/dieting for it to read below 439 lol.

this morning i weighed in at 236.[/QUOTE]

Amazeballs.

[QUOTE=martindaman;1279213001]Now, after two years of training - 1 year on a solid diet, I'm ready to post my fat to fit picture.. I no longer see myself as overweight and I'm ready to continue my journey, to be in the best shape i can possibly be!

but here we go -
Top left corner is me at 102 kg at prom 2012
the rest is from this summer at 78kg's

I haven't forgotten my legs, they just need more time, they're small as h*** but 2 "heavy" squat sessions a week should change that sooner or later![/QUOTE]
Very cute now - well done! :)

@ Back2Life, you too, very impressive... what a comeback. I have no single doubt that you feel back to life now ;).

I know that this is apparent, but your transformation is amazing. Thanks for sharing in this thread. It helps to feed the fire.

That is quite a transformation. Well done mate.

I am just starting out on my journey and am 253lbs. One thing I've worried about is excess skin after losing the weight. Did you have any issues there? Did you need surgery or did it shrink back?

Depending on your height, excess is only a concern when you have more than 40% bodyfat to start, maybe more.

thanks for the kind words. as far as loose skin goes, the best thing you can do is lift heavy and have a slow and steady pace with your weight loss. stay hydrated and make sure you're eating healthier and getting proper nutrition. loose skin just depends on a few factors, how fast the weight gain was, how slow it was coming off, if your skin was damaged or not and if you're lucky enough to have good skin genes lol. somehow i got really lucky. after losing 200lbs i have very minimal loose skin except for when im hunching over or in pushup position, you can see it a lot more then. as far as surgery goes, i am considering it and seeing if my insurance provider will cover it.


good luck bro. if loose skin is your biggest problem after your journey, then you've had great success!

[QUOTE=Jayfence;1265973581]
First picture was at ~200 lbs, taken in August of 2013, after a year of non lifting, drinking 5 nights a week, terrible diet, and multiple injuries keeping me inactive.
Second picture is at ~195lbs, taken 3 days ago, after a 7 month bulk up to 215 lbs, and a 3 month cut to where I am now.
Looking to drop some more BF and hopefully end up around 185lbs and 12% BF in another couple of months[/QUOTE]

Wow... Nice

[QUOTE=AntoineDufour;1272336411]

Journey over the years. I learned tons through experience.

Eventually I'd like to compete but once I finish cutting a bit more I'm going to spend few years building more mass.[/QUOTE]

From the looks of it you will.

[QUOTE=LocKi;1257098371]Started out much fatter than the first pics in the sets, in 2009, but didn't start taking pictures until 2011. The photos are 3 years apart.
