**Transformations from FAT to FIT** Part 2

Im 22 5'8 and currently weighing 170. 5 years ago i was weighing in at 260 then i got down to 150 as seen in the pictures with my clothes on. I wasnt eating right i was basically just eating very little. I started to get skinny fat with drinking and going out to eat all the time. 10 weeks ago i made the best decision of my life with getting a coach and starting to meal prep. The pictures shirtless i started at 178 and today i weighed in at 170. I have one more week of this prep then i will be starting a clean bulk for size until about January and my coach then said id start my contest prep and will be looking to compete in march or april of 2017. For anyone who says you cant do it you can and it really is a lifestyle you have to sacrifice but the reward you get in return there is nothing better.

Check out my transformation here!

great transformations

What's up, guys? I love the positivity here.

Here's me, one from last year and one from a couple weeks ago. I am probably ever so slightly leaner right now.

Been lifting off and on for a few years, but last year after poor dietary choices and work stresses I had an anxiety attack. It forced me to reevaluate my health and take back my body for the long term, with no short cuts or funny business.

Within the last few months I've started working with an elite personal trainer, who's increased my endurance, passion and knowledge immensely.

Still working all the time to get where I want. Hopefully soon!

This is my first post. I wanted to add my little weight loss progress to keep up the good vibes!

Left side is me this January (2016) at around 252lbs. Right side is me today at 219. Lost 33 pounds over the last 5 months, and I am feeling great. My routine has made things easy, and I'm hoping to get down to 200-205lbs!

Big difference, man!

Here is mine, about 16 months apart. I was "detrained" in the before so my muscle came back without too much of a problem. Height is 6'', went from 235 to 197.

Hey there, first post for me, great Forum and this thread's quite the motivation, .... sooo I'd like to share some of my progress so far. aswell

Peak weight was around 125 kg at 180 cm for me, been focusing on actively losing weight now for around half a year

old was back in 2013, ~ 110kg
new from today, ~ 80kg

I don't really have access to a Gym, so for now I'm focusing on further reducing my fat by means of diet and staying active, lots of swimming and mountain biking, also been doing pushups and crunches every other day for about 2 months now to get at least some muscles growing

cheers guys

Hello all,

Been overweight my entire childhood, at 18 decided to lose weight. Started at 275lbs no muscle at all, got into the gym and within a year I was down to 175lbs. I was in the best shape of my life, since then I have put on about 30lbs, most of it muscle but some of it body fat. Having a little baby girl in October, the goal is to get back down to 175lbs.

[QUOTE=whopslop;1308841251]Can some one give me a body fat estimate. Also any constructive criticism is welcome. Loving the changes and gym. Workout 5 days per week.[/QUOTE]

10 lbs every month for 6 months... nice.

One day I hit 19.3 stone (270 lbs). Needed to make a change and so I did.

4 months into my first "trial" diet:

What was your diet like? What was your workout like? Great job, going to bulk or maintain?

[QUOTE=x19delta;1448871593]What was your diet like? What was your workout like? Great job, going to bulk or maintain?[/QUOTE]

Thank you!

My diet was around 2700 calories on lifting days, around 2500 on off/cardio days. i did a month of 2200 calories everyday towards the end to loose the last bit quickly, strength took a little hit but it worked. My goal was 40% carb, 30% fat, 30% protein.

Workout was upper/lower split, 3 days a week (upper lower upper, then next week lower upper lower). Focusing on compounds with accessories thrown in at the end. The one i am doing twice a week, i will do one power day and one higher rep day (6-8 reps). The one i'm doing once that week will be a mix of power and higher reps (focusing on power though). My goal was to take about an hour with each session. Cardio is either running, rowing, or jump roping. Nothing too crazy, just about a 30 min session 3x a week.

My goal now is to build up the weak points and get my lifts up while staying around the same bf%. So i'm eating around 3100 cals on lifting days, and 2800 on cardio/off days. Same macro split. That is still a little bellow my maintenance so hopefully i will slowly lean out a bit more.

Wow, there are some very impressive and motivational photos in this thread. Congrats and props to all.

So 3 years ago I suffered a motorcycle accident, breaking my leg and tearing up my knees. I was in a wheel chair for half a year afterwards and gained a ton of weight. It took 4 surgeries to fix everything and a year of therapy before I could workout again. Since then I have focused on building strength and fat loss. Pictures below are weighing 285, and then 235. I got my squat up to 425, deadlift to 500, and bench to 275. Looking now to take it to the next level and start some bodybuilding, maybe even do a show. Just gotta figure out where to start.

Nice job on the waist

I wouldn't say I'm fit, but I'm almost to my goal weight.

My weight has gone up and down since my body transformation in 2012. I have been extremely motivated the past 6 months and reached a body weight of 175lbs. My goal is to continue my quest to reduce body fat to achieve the definition I want.
Here is a current pic taken yesterday. This will be the new "before" pic..
I appreciate everyone's support you have given me to keep me on track

Wow, some great transformations above!


I'm still on my journey, I started at 378 pounds and now at 248 pounds (total of 130 pounds lost so far). I still have a long way to go but i'm hanging in there. At my highest weight I thought I was too far gone, and I'm so grateful to have gotten to this point thus far and will keep going till i get to my goal. Wishing all the best to everyone :)

These transformations are awesome and so inspiring!! I've just begun my journey to transforming from fat to fit, but I cannot wait until the day that I can post my progress pics and story! Keep up the good work peeps! And keep posting all this fantastic motivational material!

Hi guys ive started a diet and exercise 4 months ago and ive lost 23 kg obviously i lost alot of muscle, and i dont consider myself fit at all but im happier with my body a month ago i started going to the gym and ive seen changes. Now i just need to build muscle :)

Very inspirational thread. I hope to post my transformation here in a few months. I just joined a gym yesterday, I'm male 29 5'9" 220lbs. My main objective is to get STRONG and feel comfortable in my body. I had good muscle mass and decent definition until the last five years or so which have been rough. Waking up every day trying to make a change!
