Amazing Transformation, very inspiring! My starting photo before hitting gym 6 months ago would have ben similar to yours so good to know whats achievable! How long did this take?[/QUOTE]

started a few years ago. but that was just learning to deal with my weight problem. i was actually about 9kg heavier before i took any "before" shots

roughly 4 years. 2 years losing the fat, and 2 years making some muscle.

went from 95kg to 68kg now sitting shredded at 77kg

IF wouldn't BE your problem mate, i only do it because it fits my lifestyle.
i have had months where i dont do it and i dont see any difference to be honest.
i just enjoy it because i feel like i actually eat a lot more haha.

Yeh that .5 could be water or muscle though , is hard to tell

[QUOTE=EthanPrydderch;838510371]Starting to get into shape as of today. My mental fitness and physical fitness are extremely low. Some days I cant even look people in the eyes because my self esteem is so low and because i feel so ugly,inside and out.

But today I change,im hoping to join the army as a combat medic so need to be fit and confident for that as well. What hurts the most is i am a good person and have a desire to help people,but my low self esteem makes me bitter and weak minded.

So with this as a placeholder,Ill edit it when i have Brought out the man I know i am deep down. good luck to everyone,your not alone.[/QUOTE]

3 words come to mind... SICK CRAZY AWESOME!!!!

So the man boobs will go away? I went from 300lb to 175 in about a year but i haven't really built alot of muscle, i just started to eat more calories i'm at 2,200 now and that's the most i have eaten since i started working out and i'm still at maintenance, i haven't ever bulked before but i'm hoping if i build some muscle and then cut down slowly this time they should go away? There just super annoying the excess skin on my lower stomach doesn't bother me as much as they do, i just wanna know that there is hope that they will go away without surgery or anything.

Hard to say without seeing exactly what shape you are in, but adding muscle mass and continuing to lean out will definitely help. I feel like I will ALWAYS have a bit of man boob, just my body type, but I've noticed they look a lot better with the muscle mass I've put on in the last year or two, which isn't a lot. I'm naturally "soft," and can not get rid of my love handles, ab fat and slight man boobs, despite being lean enough to have striations in my shoulders when pumped and visible veins in my upper chest... I keep pushing to lean out more and add more lean mass. It just takes a long time, but I know day by day, I'm improving. Keep working hard. Clearly with the weight you've lost, you have the will power.

[QUOTE=Adept85;978837543]Yeh that .5 could be water or muscle though , is hard to tell[/QUOTE]

it's all about trends - there's always going to be days when you don't poop, or you poop extra, or you retain water etc. you'll have good days, and you'll have bad days - you'll notice that your bad days, when viewed against your old bad days, are still going down. suspiciously, at the same rate your good days are going down compared to your other good days.

No matter what I am going through in life this thread helps me snap back to reality and brings everything back into perspective.

It reminds me of the famous Rocky quote:

Nothing and nobody is gonna hit as hard as life, but it ain't about hard you hit; its about hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward, how mcuh you can TAKE and keep moving forward, THAT'S HOW WINNING IS DONE!

Everyone in this thread has understood this concept and is just ****ing winning, period.
I've read this thread and the last one at least 3 times over and each time it has given me enough motivation to get something big done, to overcome whatever adversity I was going through at the time. I, and all of bb.com owe this thread so much. Actually, we all owe to each other to go out in this world and kick its' ****ing ass.

[QUOTE=casperch;976893693]Hey guys, first post here. Have been lurking for a long while but never got around to getting a profile. Now I have.

This is my pic. I went from 125kgs to 85 at my lowest. That's a 40kg (or 88lb for you Americans) weight loss - I'm 192cm tall (or 6'3').

I've been on a solid bulk to 96kgs now, and i've been doing lots of strength training so I'm bigger than in the pic now, but my bodyfat percentage only went up 1.3% (from 14.3 to 15.6) during that bulk, so it's around 9kgs of lean mass I've gained which I guess is pretty good.

Now I'm back to cutting down food intake. I want to be able to see abs at some point in my life. Going for 12-11% bodyfat, at around 90kgs.[/QUOTE]
Nice transformation...

But it looks like you turned into Nick Hogan!

[QUOTE=1212man1212;980248303]guys i need help... i am shy to go to the gym[/QUOTE]

Have you checked out around your area to see if there are any 24-hour gyms? At my gym, members who have 6 month or year packages are given a key and can access the facilities at ANY time, day or night. It is something to look into. Personally, i was very fortunate to have a great friend and mentor who helped me start going to the gym and is training me (also happens to own the gym). He motivated me and never lets me "cheat" on my diet, or miss a workout session. I think everyone here can benefit from a trainer who will challenge you, so i would see if you can find a personal trainer or just a friend who can motivate you. Do you have any overweight friends who you think might start going to the gym with you? As for being shy to start going to the gym, i understand what you're feeling. All i can say is starting out is going to be the hardest step. Once you get your routine set and you are really determined, you wont want to break it for ANYTHING! Making big, life-altering changes can be difficult, especially to accomplish on your own. I would suggest you try to find a friend with similar weight loss goals or find a trainer who can motivate you. TRUST ME when i say this, no matter how hard you think this is going to be (yes it is going to be hard), you CAN accomplish your goals! Good luck, my friend. Here is to hoping you accomplish those goals sooner rather than later.

Dude! great work. What is your diet and routine like?

[QUOTE=counterfit_hero;981111963]Dude! great work. What is your diet and routine like?[/QUOTE]

Thanks man! Repped.
Diet is ~1700-1800 cals a day. sometimes regimented and sometimes IIFYM. Intermittent Fasting as well

Training is full body workout Tue, Thur, Sat. Running 3 miles on Mon, Wed, Fri.
Compound movements and accessory work, minus deadlifts until I strengthen my lower back and increase my hip/hamstring flexibility. Really trying to bring out my shoulders and back, as I think they are lagging.

Next week I'm starting a Pull/Push/Leg/Rest/Repeat routine though, as working every body part 3 times a week is getting pretty difficult recovery-wise. Just want to cut a little bit more so that I can hit it hard lean bulking for ~1 year

I wish I took a before picture but i was to a shame to even take pictures back then but June 27 a day at the beach I weighted my self around 302 after i was laugh at. Soon after hearing family member saying I looked sloppy and became lazy I looked in the mirror. When I first started back in the Gym the next day I could't even lift half my body weight a sad case to me. 5 months later after going to the gym working hard and going through pain and with the help of a few friends and my own motivation I lost about 80 pounds with the help of some protein I never used in my life and MP combat is the one I chose. Went from a size 44 to a size 36 in 5 month My goal is still a size 34-32. I weigh 223 now goal is 180-190 now plus I fell much better and I'm now addicted to the gym lol.

keep up the good work man and hopefully u can post youre progress pics like of youre weight loss success like the others have.

Here is my facial aesthetics transformation. People literally don't even know who I am anymore, it's quite awkward i'll be honest. Taking a bit to adjust psychologically to it but I love surprising people.
