Nice work man!
Anyone else have a problem with extra skin and stretch marks after your weight loss? My problem is in my lower abdominal area, any tips or tricks to help minimize the strecth marks or tighten up the skin?
[QUOTE=doughnutgut;1047934221]No prob dude... repped for your progress....
remember to get a gram of protein for every pound of bodyweight after bf% every day so your muscles get the best chance to grow... So i would say by your stats to get at least 180-190 grams of protien EVERY DAY BUD...
That alone is a whopping 720 - 760 cal EVERY day just for muscle repair and growth... Even when losing weight... So your 900 cal a day you see was stopping you gain even more strength.... Go get it kid..... and reach for the sky...[/QUOTE]
Dude that information was really helpfull! Thanks a bunch! I weigh 194lbs does that mean I need 194 grams of protein? Also is there a good MACRO calculator that I can find online?

hi buddy.
Cheers... Glad to help....
As for the protein if your 194lb then minus your body fat % from the total and eat n drink away (Glug nom nom nom glug) just estimate your BF% or google images the word to compare your self to the pictures.
I am a bit of a freak buddy and make a plan for about 4 weeks and eat only that daily and change afterwards... Good guide to use for food intake is myplate dot com due to it keeping daily records of ALL daily intake of everything...
As for a good program well we are all different buddy... My carb tolerance is not very good i suppose being 36 year old but either way i cant eat many carbs so i eat oats and some grainy seeded plain bread 1 hr pre workout and a banana and home made popcorn and grits post workout.
rest of my carbs during the day comes from the small amount of sugars in my shake and green leafy veg and some seeds.
at present my basic quick macro seperation is as so.
Protien
Chicken skinned breast (fresh)
Eggs whites
Tuna
salmon
whey isolate
casien
fats
Flax oil
spray butter
avocado
seeds
egg yolk
Carbs
1 slice grain seeded bread plain toasted
oats
sweet potato
groats/grits
spinach
sprouts
cabbage
banana
home made popcorn.
i eat around 100-150 g carbs daily
1.2g protein per weight
and rest from fats....
adjusted accordingly for my own benefit.
Hope this helps.
p.s this is a VERY rough guide. I don't want to clog up a great forum with nutritional advice..... Sorry all

Great job. Congrats! Real inspiration.
This was a bit before I started my transformation. The before is from 10/23/2011 I was the same maybe lighter when I started at 317 on February 26th 2012. The other is a picture from last night. Hope this helps motivate others as pictures in here motivated me during my transformation.

Woo its crazy how much your face changed. You should think about shaving all your facial hair so you get that clean more defined look.

Funny you mention that I did shave my entire face maybe 2 weeks ago but makes me look soooo young. With my hair short the grey hair isn't that visible and I guess under the facial hair I have a baby face.

Thanks. Yes, I feel great!

Hard to believe those are the same dude.
This thread is insane...
You all are so inspirational. Seeing real results and real timelines make me so excited and interested in doing it myself.
The infomercials and junk on TV that show these insane results in 3 months were never realistic to me and if I didn't start seeing those kind of results I would get discouraged and quit. I started doing diet pills (horrible business that was) but lost 35 pounds. Got down to 179 but was still very squishy. Got discouraged, went back to 215. I'm now down to 205 doing it with weights and a small deficit in calories and it just feels so much better. Would love to hit that same 180 but have my BF go lower.
I have before pictures, I hope to be posting a "during" picture here in a month or so.
Keep it up everyone, you inspire me and many others I'm sure.
Just finished my first transformation. Pics turned out great.
