Great job man! You looked pregnant in the first pic!ha Keep it up bro!
Hey everyone. I've been lurking in this thread for a while and I'm truly amazed at all the transformations that have been posted. You are all inspirations for me and so many other people who need a little extra motivation. What's my story? Well... I've always been athletic but over the past year...my weight kinda got away from me. I got back from a camping trip this past Aug 6 and stepped on the scale. 253 pounds! The next day...I woke up and just changed it all. Ive been hitting the weights everyday since then alternating days upper and lower body. also been doing 45 minutes to an hour on the spin bike a day. I weigh myself every Monday morning when I wake up. Here are the results:
After 1 week Mon, Aug 13 * *248.2. * * *-4.8
After 2 weeks Mon, Aug 20. *244.0. * * -4.2
After 3 weeks Mon, Aug 27. * 241.8. * * * *-2.2
After 4 weeks Mon, Sept 3. * *240.0. * * * *-1.8
After 5 weeks Mon, Sept 10. *235.6. * * * *-4.4
After 6 weeks Mon, Sept 17. *233.4. * * * -2.2
After 7 weeks Mon, Sept 24. *230.8. * * * *-2.6
I joined this site today so I weighed myself a day early for goal purposes. Today...I'm at 227. Down another 3.8 pounds for a total of 26 in 8 weeks. I have also gained quite a bit of muscle mass. Thank you to all of you who helped me stay motivated while creeping this thread! I will continue on my quest to my goal of 195. Almost half way there!!!

[QUOTE=Kushkiss;943788803]today i am officially 5 pounds away from my starting goal weight. at the end of 2009 i was roughly 220 lbs, i set a goal (at the time it was more of a dream) of 140 lbs. today i weighed myself and i'm officially 5 pounds away from the dream i had three years ago. back then i never imagined it possible, now that this seemingly unattainable goal has almost been reached... i gotta boast about lol holy crap it feels so ****ing good!!! i honestly don't even know where to go from here, my life goal is in reach, i never considered what would come next. all i know is that i've never been happier, nothing is out of reach, if you want something bad enough you can make it happen.
oh baby! Looking good! Nice work!
Not there yet but I am on my way!
1 march 143 kgs
27 sep 123 kgs
50 cm on my waist has gone and down from 42 inch to 38 inch in jeans!
[QUOTE=johnnyj411;954664123]Great job man! What was your diet/workout routine like? Im same height and 166lbs currently trying to get down to 145-150lbs.[/QUOTE]
Thanks mate, this is what I eat during the day:
Breakfast: Banana, protein shake, 2 pills of fish oil, 2 pills of glutamine, multivitamin
First break at work: Apple or some dried nuts or almonds
I get paid to go to the gym at my job, so I go before lunch. This is when I take my preworkout stacked with my creatine, then I go workout.
Lunch: Steak, fish or chicken breast with vegetables, I normally have green beans brocolly and mushrooms but if i don't have the time the day before to make the veggies I'll use them steamer bags that u pop in the microvawe for my veggies. 2 pills fish oil, 4 glutamine, 1 multivitamin, postworkout shake BBCAs
First thing I do after work is take a protein shake
Couple hours pass I start feeling hungry, I have a salad or just a small can of chicken breast, you can add tuna to your salad and boiled eggs.
Final meal egg whites ommelette with a couple scoops of salsa to make it eatable, then again 2 fish oil, 2 glutamine and multivitamin.
I workout 5 times a week, chest and triceps one day. Back and biceps another, shoulders and legs the next day. Abs I do everyday I work out. But anyways diet is really the key unleash you want to do cardio which i hate and haven't done : ). GL brah, stay motivated.
Spot reserved for my 11 week progress (October 2-December 17)
Edit: 1k post
congrats, thats amazing. very inspiring

So much motivation in this thread
[QUOTE=BloodySalad;951663203]Thanks man. There's no secret though.
I got most of my information from this site and just put it into practice.
Most important thing was getting my diet on point. I got the macros sorted and stuck to the deficit. I cheated maybe half a dozen times over the year when I cut. Bulking I can afford to be more liberal. I don't really look on it as a diet now though - after a year, it's just a way of life and the way I eat now. I hardly need to think about it.
Exercise-wise, I started out on All-Pro's routine and swam 3 or 4 times a week. After a month or two, I added a couple of isolation exercises to it and swapped the swimming for running. A few months later, I started doing All-Pros every other day. I didn't last too long at that as the exercises started mounting up so I went onto a typical 3 day split but ran that every other day too.
3 months after that, I started a 5 day split. I do Legs/Chest/Back/Off/Shoulders/Arms/Off. I'm on that one now. I take a few days off every 8 weeks but apart from that, I think I've only ever missed 2 workouts.
So really, you only need a few things - the knowledge to start out with, the diet, the exercise program and consistency. Put them together and you'll get the results which you're looking for.
In answer to your last question - I used to play rugby. But I'd never classify myself as an athlete and for the last 15-20 years, my exercise output has been precisely jack. So like I said, if I can do it, anyone can do it. I'm not eating humble pie when I say that I'm Mr Joe Average. I reckon I am. So although some people may not get the same results as quickly as I did, others may get them quicker. All they need are those few things I've listed up there.[/QUOTE]
Amazing transformation man.. I'm doing the allpro routine now.. On cycle 2 looking to take it to abt 4 complete cycles min. What type o isolation excercises did u do for your chest an arms.. Thanks and congrats to you.
66 lbs in 8 months
[QUOTE=orthoguy;957911593]66 lbs in 8 months[/QUOTE]
Awesome Job man! I've lost 40lbs in the last 14 weeks and today realized I'm still fat- I need to lose another 35lbs to get around 10%. (feelsbadman)
[QUOTE=orthoguy;957911593]66 lbs in 8 months[/QUOTE]
awesome, great inspiration! I plan on having some pics for this thread in... well, a few months. Tons of great stories on here!
Went through 4 hip replacements when I was 16 and was on crutches for three years which made me gain a ton of weight. I am now 22 and made a lifestyle change to get into better shape. Any more advice would be appreciated.
Before and current pictures 275-before now-165 committed myself to fitness from 20-22
[QUOTE=Einrich310;895563431]Hey guys this is the before and after video of my cut. I started January 1st 218 pounds with way to much fat and I ended June 6th at 170 pounds let me know what you think.

Damn that was good man.
What was workout routine? And diet?
First and foremost, everyone in here has literally been an inspiration to me.
Age: 21
Height: 5'7 1/2"
Starting waist: 42 inches ish + (didn't properly measure when I first started)
Current waist: 35 inches
Starting weight: 233lbs
Current weight: 167.6
Goal weight: 155lbs - ish
Guess I should be doing more resistance training now more so than cardio to shift the last 14lbs or so?
Very much need to start doing the resistance training. And hard. Amazing transformation though man! Repped.
Nice work, I am currently around 115kg, but have a 44" waist so it's very impressive you can fit in those at that weight.
[QUOTE=wolfe715;951652083]I started out at 250 pounds, then cut down to 183 over the course of 3 years. I am around 5% bodyfat right now! Follow my fanpage!
Everything is diet for me. I started out with a restricted diet, now I am eating a ton and enjoying life!!

I saw after pic first and i was like, WOW! that chick is fkn hot, then I saw after pic and thought it was a completley diferent person.
Reped
Hey im new to the site, just wanted to check in. In 2007 I weighed close to 300lbs, i was on and off untill now. And now after 3 months of solid exercising and dieting i am down to 195. I am 6'0 and around 20% bf i would say. I weighed around 215 when i started. Im not even close to my final goal of being ripped up yet, but i seem to not be making any changes here lately. what do yall think so far?
Here are my pics of my ongoing transformation. I started April of 2011 at 300lbs, at the beginning of August-12' I was down to 185. Currently I am at 203, I did a 30 day lean build and now I am cutting weight off again. The after pic with my shirt off is at 185, the after pic with my shirt on I am at around 205(current). Never picked up a weight in my life until September of 2011. From April-August 11' I was just doing cardio and meal replacement shakes(Herbalife) until I properly educated myself on fitness and nutrition and switched to whole foods and weight training. I am now addicted.
Edit- Also added one of my older pics. Comparison is from May 11'-February 12'.
