My apologies for not having all the right ones in the post. :D

[QUOTE=AgentAsh007;1038323363]Going through some of these posts is really inspiring. I'm a 25 year old female that's 5'4 & 206.6 & in week 1 of my weight loss journey.

I started in August initially at 225 and lost 15 pounds & kept my weight off, but I stupidly didn't follow through on a good diet. And then eventually stopped going to the gym in late December. So even though I kept the weight off, I'm not as physically fit as I was then. So I picked back up last Wednesday (at 210.0 lbs) & I've already lost a few pounds. My goal is to eventually be 125-140. I guess I wanna stop wherever I feel happy with my body. But my ideal body in mind would be toned & I'm not sure how much I would weigh at that point.

This time, no excuses. Thanks for the motivation!![/QUOTE]

Every step in the right direction is a good step. Push hard for your goals you wish for. Never give up and never stop. You can do what you put your mind to.

they really are inspiring. just remember losing weight and getting fit is 90% diet 10& gym. the my fitness pal helps i have it on my android phone. helps keep track of your calories and macros so you can assess your food properly and figure out what you need to change :)

[QUOTE=doughnutgut;1038124693]Buddy. quality result.

Fantastic transformation. whats your bodyfat % sitting at or have you not had it measured...

I am only wondering as you show higher definition in one side of your abs than the other and i thought i would ask as i am curious to know if you had the same trouble as i had when i lost weight....

I dropped BF % as slowly as possible so as to spare as much muscle and strength as i could but this seemed to worry me as when the time came and my abs poked through BUT!!!!!!!! my left abs showed many weeks before my right started to even slightly introduce themselves to the world.

I thought (stupidly) that my right side was not formed properly.... Till i dropped enough to see them.....

did you have the same issue??????



See .... I dont just give advice and motivation lads n ladies..... i ask questions also ;-)[/QUOTE]\


My abs... even through my diet are coming through slowly, but yeah as of today they have really came through. I was at 30 something percent when I started....today I'm around 18 (goal is less than 10 for the year) but yeah I had the same issue lol. The left side poked through then about I say mid Feb. I seen the right side start coming through. It has to be just BF I assume.... I am self taught through this whole process, utilizing Gym-science, google and Bodybuilding.com. That being said if you ever have any knowledge to help me to my goal it would be appreciated thanks

[QUOTE=karinabe16;1038384183]awesome!! diff see some improvement, the weight is coming off good. props my dude![/QUOTE]

+1, excellent improvement

First post here...

I knew I was a bit on the chubby side but just dressed to hide it - also thought my wife didn't notice! :)

Took a short video of myself just over a month ago to see what I really looked like and surprised myself! Here is a screen shot from it...

Then, after a bit of discipline and exercise I'm making some progress...

Edit: 1st pic 211lbs 2nd 194lbs

So much motivation in this thread, been lurking for ages wanting to make a post.

Hoping this will kickstart me a little.
I started at about 260 although I have been bigger than that.

Over last year and this year I'm down to about 205, I had put on 20lbs over Christmas but have got it under control.
I want to get down to 180 and then start a long slow bulk.


The first 2 pictures where when I was finishing school, hadn't ever really thought about my diet and lifestyle.
The third is this Christmas after I'd put on a little more weight, and apparently am considering eating my dog.
The fourth was last weekend at around 205, going to a wedding.

This morning 222.8 =)
[IMG]http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx124/shreck_2k7/me222.jpg[/IMG]

Faurking teared up at the sight of those ab outlines. srs.

Stopped working out due to family problems but then started up again just two weeks ago so I am in a bit better shape then the after picture in this one. Just let me know what your thoughts and opinions are on these pics

Hey man congrats on your transformation. I recently lost about 120 LBS and i think i did it the wrong way. Skinny fat. I need some tips from you. Plz help.
[QUOTE=PimpnUse2BeEz;805432851]I am finishing a bulk currently.

I started at 250 and went down to 188 the wrong way and was skinny fat. I decided to do a little more research and start eating right to change my body comp. The second picture shows me implementing weights and the third some of the mass I am putting on.

Good luck to everyone and their goals![/QUOTE]

Hey can you guys check out my body transformation vid and leave it a like, it would be greatly appreciated.
Let me know my weak points, I need to know what to focus on moving forward.

I have always been a fat kid all my life with huge belly sticking out up until last october when I started working out. Since then this thread has motivated me a lot and finally I made my account yesterday to post my 5 months progress. I started on 22-Oct-2012 weighing 247lbs/112kgs and yesterday I was at 197lbs/89.3kgs. Thats about 50lbs/22.6kgs lost in 5 months but still a long way to go as my goal is 165lbs/75kgs. Don't have any before pic at the moment but this one I took yesterday morning.

Thanks for the motivation you all provided and lets keep losing fat. FAT is BAD.

I'm not sure I've posted in this thread before, I can't remember. Probably not. Anyway, I'm not "FIT" yet, nor have I reached my ultimate goal. (Probably never will as I'm constantly nudging it further as I approach it) But I thought I'd share this with you guys. I'm beginning to see a little bit of muscle separation and definition, which is a HUGE motivating factor for me.

I started at around 210 lbs, 5'78 last June. Since then, I've been doing a very slow and very relaxed cut since I burn out easily if I do too much of something. And it's worked great for me; I'm very happy with how far I've come. Right now, I'm hovering around 150 - 155 lbs and I'm eating more and doing more resistance training so I can put on some muscle and maybe see some "abbage" by mid-late august.

Anyway, that's my story in a nutshell. Here's my photo.

6 weeks progress...

Week 1 vs Week 4 vs Week 6

Wow, I'm going to be busy giving out rep to all the progression that had been taking place in everyone's transformation. Great job all. Continue the drive and push forward to the goals you are shooting for. :) Reps incoming.

I see you're doing some P90x for your training. I have the whole set as well. Some tough exercises there. Good work.

There are alot of guys with inspirational transformations, too bad that I don't have comparative pictures (I was idiothic to forgot to take them duh...) Good work to everyone!

Keep them posted!

Good Job that there is some very impressive results from hard work and dedication for sure! Care to share any diet/routine info?

I'm 2.5 months in but haven't made the kind of progress i'd hoped for going to post my 3 months in 2 weeks.

Looking at this thread is very motivating! Great job folks!

Thanks man, I appreciate it

Hello friends, I've been watching this thread for a year now, hoping that I could post my results one day as well. Well, my results are not nearly as good as yours, I still feel like sharing it. I was able to lose 32 kilograms, I still don't look very good or muscular, I plan on losing many more kilograms. I really enjoy losing weight, which is primary goal. I started eating healthy too, feeling much better during the day, less sleepy, more productive and communicative. Thank you everybody for sharing your stories, it's been and still is great inspiration and motivation for me. I can't find enough words to thank you. Without this thread and guides on this website, I think I'd still be the 140 kg pig.

I'll update when I manage to get under 100 kg. See you till then :)

I figure one year increments is solid, this last year will be especially noticeable because it was mostly fat loss. Just switched to bulking, going to have to get used to the bloated feeling :D

I followed the "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" diet from Tom Venuto. That guy is my hero.

Thanks everyone above me in this thread for helping me achieve what I have so far. But this is ONLY a progress photo, not a after photo. When I get to the "after" photo I'll be sure to get a camera that can handle more than 10 pixels. Although, I've learned that this is a life journey, so who knows if I'll ever get there, but I think that's the point.

Hey everyone! My before picture was taken on July 2012! I was 210 at 22% body fat, Now im 185 at 18% body fat. I lost weight really slowly but gained some muscle! I just started cutting today getting ready for summer! please if you have any tips or suggestions please let me know!

First two pics 2009/04/14 at 87kg @ 179cm, the day before i set my foot in the gym for the first time, the last pic is from 1 month back after a "push" workout at 73kg.

I want to post my pic how I do from mobile?? If anyone can take the pic from my profile thanks let me know what I should do wana get lean my body fat isn't high usually I can eat what I want n stay in same range ill just burn a lot of calories off then I did burn 845 last nite n stayed same weight after we had good lunch at work but it def hard to
Resist al this food places near by

Everyone's got different goals, brother. Some people posting pics like myself aren't even finished with their "transformation" yet.

[QUOTE=Jackermid;1041900593]I can honestly say everyone you posted a pic on this page needs to tone ASAP. You can't all just worry about mucles[/QUOTE]

I can see why this guy got banned.

[QUOTE=matman1813;1041913703]I can see why this guy got banned.[/QUOTE]

The thread he made on the o35 section telling people to grow up and stop bodybuilding probably didn't help his cause.

First time posting here on bb. Don't know how to post pictures from mobile but if anyone would like can see my transformation pictures there.

Starting weight in 2011- 300lbs+40%bf (picture taken in march of '11 but didn't commit to my change for a few months after that)

Current weight as of march 19 2013 is 190lbs 15%bf.

It's been a long journey with tons of obstacles; for one losing lots of weight includes muscle mass.
If anyone has any tips or questions for me feel free to add me as a friend or message me id be happy to talk about my journey or help you with yours!

Gr8 job by everyone ITT for their efforts and hard work on their transformations. I'll be repping as I can on recharges. If I miss you, plz message me and I'll get your name on the list. I won't leave ya hanging, honest. But awesome accomplishments by all.

Everyone on this thread has been such a motivation to me. All of your transformations are really amazing!! I can't wait to post my pictures soon and show everyone my progress!

Wow! Very noticeable difference. Keep it up! What was starting weight vs todays?

This thread has been a constant inspiration for me. I read a few pages every day. I'm two months into my transformation and hopefully in a few months I'll be able to add something to this treasure trunk.
