[QUOTE=drummerdan1993;1446170323]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]

[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:

I liked the results so I continued, only this time I did it for real.

[QUOTE=coszero;1445585613]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.

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 :)
