**Transformations from FAT to FIT** Part 2

[QUOTE=timhart1984;1093718403]My transformation took alot longer then i would have liked...would have been faster it I started to gym earlier but I focused on losing the weight first with help from weight watchers. Started at 240lbs..now a steady 160lbs. But now that I lost the weight for some reason I cant seem to bulk up...anyone else have that problem? or any recommendations on how to bulk up? I have read to eat alot of preotein, but I have been doing that for months and nothing...any supplement recommendations for bulking? I usually go to gym 4-5 times a week and I am taking Craze pre-workout and a whey protein shake after.[/QUOTE]

Amazing work. If you start to build more muscles it's perfect.

Follow what is working for YOU... Not advice from some gym bloke...

---------------------->>> beginner workouts that way....

Read and learn a program that suits you... track progress and adjust accordingly.

Log progress..

Ive been using intermittent fasting for around 7 weeks and stuck to 2000 cals a day. 25-30 mins of cardio 3x a week.

I started my fatloss from last year, it have been almost 1 year
For my 4 month fatloss, it was from 87kg down to 68kg
After that I have been searching many healthy forum for my food died
For me, bodybuilding.com is my first choice side for my motivation of my fatloss expecially for this fat to thin thread hehehe
Now my fatloss is stil going on and my current weight is around 65kg...my weight target is cutting to 60kg, later i will try to add more muscle hehehe
I have just been workout at gym centre once cos it is very far from my home to the nearest gym centre, it is about 30km, so I have been working out using 2 24kg maksimun dumble :(

Here my picture for 1 year fatloss

[QUOTE=SWLAmarshrunner;1094923423]2yrs ago, the only way I thought I would have abs is if they were photoshopped onto me lol. I am very proud and thankful to have been given the knowledge and physical abilities to be able to make a change! Bodybuilding.com gave me so much information, motivation and access to great products so I wanted to say thanks to them. May 17, 2011 was the day that I told myself that I would get back in shape and not just give up after a month or two. Its been a long time coming, but here I am today as the new Ricky! Please friend me/follow me as I am just getting set up but I promise I will have some good material posted on my page.[/QUOTE]

Ah man you beat me to it!

This is a seriously inspirational thread though, Hopefully I'll post some worthy pics up here at some point.

Good job peeps! Very motivational!

From 338 to 190 give or take a pound depending. Took about 14-15 months and now I've been maintaining post panniculectomy getting back to lifting.

See default

You can see my progress on my bodyspace. FAT in 2010 cut down pretty good summer 2011 got fat again in the winter then got lost it for the summer 2012 bulked hard but cleaner in the fall of 2012, and in the best shape of my life right now! Which says a lot because I was in the Marine Corps Infantry but didn't have any sort of diet.

Just wanted to say great job to all of you guys. I hope my transformation pics will inspire and motivate others to improve their body. I know what it is like to be tired of the way you look and want to better yourself. I know that it is hard, especially when you bust your ass and don't get results. I encourage everyone to read, read, and read some more here on bodybuilding.com because they really do have great information! I am no personal trainer or dietician but if anyone has any questions, I would be more than willing to help in any way I can. Follow me/friend me to watch me continue my transformation!

Wow man, great job. I'd love to get to your status. What was diet and routine during cut and what is it now?

Just thought I would share with you guys my progress! Some amazing transformations on this site!

I love just coming to this thread and looking at what all of your progress is.....all of you keep that up and keep moving forward!

I spent the past year training for the Tough Mudder which is coming up in Buffalo, NY at the end of this month. While I am doing more of a powerlifting/strength training workout than I am bodybuilding, I did notice some significant changes in my body over the year.

The first pic is when I started in July last year. I did some (very occasional) cardio from then 'til October when I started a new job in roofing, where I lost quite a bit of weight just from the hard labor and stopped doing cardio. The 2nd picture is right before I decided to suck it up and start lifting after work, during the first week of January...and the 3rd was taken today, about 6 months later after starting my strength program, and one month before the Mudder.

Hope to see some of you at the course!

I ran it last yr and will again July 20th in Minneapolis to bad I hate running lol but its still a fun time

[QUOTE=timhart1984;1095166453]Ya. I was at the gym today and somone told me i should start lifting less reps with heavier weights. Is that true?[/QUOTE]

I use to lift 'til failure in the 8-12 range on a classic bodybuilding split with quite a bit of isolation. I wasn't making gains as quickly as I wanted so I hesitantly switched to a 3-day-a-week, all-compound, full-body workout with 3 sets of 5 reps and had much more success. However, as doughnutgut said, do what works for YOU. If you're still seeing quick gains then don't try to fix what's not broken. If you are stalling though I would definitely 2nd the high weight + low reps simply because the change worked for me.

Very nice. Congrats on your progress.

Out of all the posts here. On this site, any forum site for that matter, here is where we all come together as a collective for one goal. It's very motivating seeing everyone's journey and how hard we push eachother. Great great stuff guys. Like I said, very motivating and progress is unbelievable.

Keeps me going as sad as that sounds ha
