Im totally in the dumps. I havent lost a single ounce or BF% since APR 4th. I switched things up and nothing. Progress has been so slow for me I mean incredibly so. I put in alot of time to this and I am not getting significant returns on a weekly basis. Since Oct 12th Ive only lost 45lbs. Im so fatigued by this fact mentally. I work so hard and eat so clean Im sincerely lost.

The body aint as dumb as we think buddy... It adapts, and once it does you need to (SHOCK) it into results.
You need to be resourceful and either slightly adjust your diet or change things round in the weight room to trick the body into forcing new results.
Oh how i love that clever human anatomy.
Good luck mate.... Keep going

Top 4 pictures explained:
The first three I was deployed and those were 3 of my monthly progress pics. First is 182lbs, Second is 185lbs, Third is 189lbs..... The fourth picture is almost 6 years later, I had gone through cancer, divorce, alcohol addiction, multiple losses in the family, and depression obviously.
Everyone has their story or failure and triumph. I'm not big on long stories so the point of mine is simply don't let life get the best of you. That 4th picture I weighed 230lbs. There are many that have gained and lost a lot more weight than I have so I'm not trying to steal anyone's thunder.
I just hope that when life is hitting you hard and it seems at every turn something bad is coming your way, keep your head up and keep on pushing. I finally lifted my head up, turned my life around, and the pain and sweat of working out helped me realize if I can change my body I can
probably change other things in my life as well.
Today I am the guy in the last picture and will keep on pushing physically and mentally at whatever obstacle life has in store for me next.
Congratulations and much props to all those in this thread that have shared their amazing accomplishments with their health and fitness goals that were once just dreams.

Thank you! I am much happier. Being fat was hard.
And I am still in that stage when where if I see someone looking at me, I either think I have something on my shirt or something. That or if they are OBVIOUSLY mirin, I want to hug them and thank them, lol.

Good job, man. Inspirational particularly because we share a similar body type which I don't often come by: lean limbs with wide hips storing most of the fat in the lower abs and hips.

One month on
Just a quick update on how I'm getting on ! I started going to the gym winter 2012, well I say I went to the gym, I skipped a lot, but didn't change my diet (being at Uni : lots of beers / crisps / macdonalds / etc....). In April I moved back home (finished Uni) and started focusing on my diet more : weighing shizzle, working out 4 times a week and doing cardio on the off days ! My brother who has also been overweight for a while has been doing it with me ! So it helps working out with someone ! Also this thread motivates like mad, so many amazing changes....
Anyway here are a few pictures (I know I still have a long way to go !).
First 2 : Day 1
3rd : 7th April
5,6,7 : Today
N.B : If anyone could estimate my bf% it would be greatly appreciated ! :)

LOL... Thanks. I'm coming to grips with the fact that I'm almost 40. However, I'm trying to defy nature and look as if I'm still in my 20's.

Really inspiring thread. Good Job guys! It really motivates me to keep on going. It's been 9 months since I started to get serious with my journey. It took me a while to get used to prepare my meal to get the right nutrition and get serious in going to the gym.
I'm attaching my "sort of" before (aug 2012) and after (jan 2013 & mar 2013) pic. I know there's not much of a change but I can see some muscles forming already. =) My metabolism is so slow that I feel the need to do extra effort on cardio otherwise I'll get fat. But I know I need to bulk up and do less boxing. Hoping my next update will be better.

still a long way to go
It started in december 2011, I was 290 on a good day ;) and I was sick of it, so I decided to loss it, I dont know my actual fat loss, but on the scale its been anywhere from 60 to 70 pounds. I feel great and Im not slowing down now, I want to hit 200, so Im about 20lbs away now.
edit: the picture is inaccurate, my start weight was 290
