**Transformations from FAT to FIT** Part 2

[QUOTE=piman311;1184920091]Sorry to hijack the thread, but there are so many success stories here. Has anyone done a clean bulk once they hit 15-17% body fat? I've been cutting awhile and hit a plateau. Could use some motivation/advice to start a clean bulk. Dropped from 220 - 157, but can't get below ~17% despite keeping the diet in check ( 1 g protein/lb, plenty of fat). Any advice appreciated![/QUOTE]

are you doing squats and deadlifts heavy!!!6-12 reps just to check you should be having 130grams of protein is that right!

[QUOTE=Chiedozie;1171960343]Hi,

I'm new to all this. I just started walking several miles a day (6+) in spring/summer 2012 because I didn't feel like spending $130+ on a transit pass, haha. Then I decided to join a gym, luckily it was down the block, five minutes away! Went from 281 to 203 in 3 months.

I still have a long way to go, a big novice, haha. I want to try bulking for the first time ever, because I feel like I stagnated. Plus I was afraid of getting big again, I want the lean look. But i'm optimistic. I've never done dead-lifts / chest-flies etc.. or used free weights,dumbells or barbells, so hopefully if I switch off of machines to free weights for the bulking I'll see some results.

Any advice greatly appreciated...[/QUOTE]

Had a lot of ups and downs cutting weight. I actually started in August and stopped after 7 weeks, Then I started again in October with some fuk ups in between. Still got about 8kg - 10kg to go till I hit the lean stage and then I'll lean bulk. Taking a break for 3 weeks while I travel and such.

Thanks, going to see how low I can go to finally lose these remaining love handles.

Tryina find some Endomorph transformations

Good day to you all, great inspiring transformations here.
I am new to building muscle and For the first time in my life 7 months ago i made a change of lifestyle using mostly bodyweight resistance as due to back problems i cannot lift heavy.
I cut from 185 pounds to 141 pounds over 4 months and for the last 2-3 months i have been bulking as such. In 2 months i have gained 11 pounds (Glycogen/ Water & muscle) and body fat % has remained stable so something must be working.
Any questions feel free to ask, best wishes to you all!

Wow, very inspiring thread, guys and gals!

Keep up the good work. :)

[QUOTE=Nagoric;1181063841]Hello, this is my progress so far..

january i started with diet, not a hardcore diet... just eating healthy!!! i also did some bike and went for walks (no running)... july i started lifting

then 11 months dieting... 5 months lifting



2 january - 326 pounds (148kg)

1 may - 280~ pounds (128kg)

1 september - 242~ pounds (110kg)

20 december - 211 pounds (96kg)

ofc im not ripped yet, but i like the results i have in my shoulders/chest.

when i first started, my diet sucked.. it was a "weight loss" diet... very low fat, low carb, low calories, lots of salads... now my diet is better!! im eating 1.8g protein / kilo... 1.8g carb / kilo... 0.8g fat / kilo

when i burn all the fat i have on my chest and my stomach i'll start bulking

lets get big my friends!!! hugs from brazil[/QUOTE]

Big ups bro!! Thanks for inspiring me to keep up my own fight!

Started when I turned 17, and I'm now 18 almost 19 :)

Hello, first time poster here. Looking at all these transformations has given me the motivation to start my own journey. I'm 5'7" 216 pounds. I'm sick of looking the way I am. Hopefully I'll be posting some before and after pictures, sooner rather than later. You guys have all done a heck of job. I'm about to head to the gym. Thanks for the motivation!

[QUOTE=AubsAgs;1188758491]Started when I turned 17, and I'm now 18 almost 19 :)[/QUOTE]

wow. thats crazy. im super proud of you.

hard to tell from pics, but if you are having any skin issues, stay patient. you are so young and your body will regroup with time.

Wow, this thread is such a motivation boost, i will post my progress later.

First time poster, New to weight training. Looking through everyone's transformation is the boost I need to keep me going. At 5'6' and 69kg with a 33% body fat I'm really struggling with finding the right balance with my meals, I'm used to having one big meal at night (mostly simple cabs and just enough veg to add colour to the meal) and snacking during the day. Hopefully il be posting my before and after photos one day. Thank you all for the inspiration.

2 years in for me. Top pic is 245lbs. Bottom pic is current at 202lbs

Good job! Repped.

Here I am today after a year of training and clean diet. I lost 10Kg and obtained 10% bodyfat. Because of this results, I feel more motivated everytime I'm hitting the gym. It's tough but it's worth. - Peewee Santos (Singapore)

Great Transformation, PeeweeSantos. Very motivating!
