Well man, you're in the right place. I got started through reading this thread back in summer last year and have since lost over 100lbs. This thread was the initial motivation but the tools I needed to help me get fit were elsewhere on the forum.
Read up on how to exercise properly and how to eat right (diet is the most important thing at your stage). Don't make a mistake and do your own thing - chances are, you'll probably get it wrong so you need to read, read, read. The info supplied by the people on this site is exactly what you're going to need to make the journey from fat to fit.
Take it all onboard, act on it and as long as you want it, you'll get there.
Good luck!!

Hi guys i lost a great deal of body fat over the past few months , unfortunately i havent made enough forum posts to post links or pictures so if you dont mind looking at my bodyspace profile where i have all my progress within my gallery pictures
Peace out ironheads
Nice work!
Great transformations everyone, keeps me motivated to keep going!
My profile photo is where I'm at now I've been working on getting lean, now just started a clean bulk using HST to try to add some size, don't know my bodyfat percentage in my profile photo so anyone good at guessing I'd be interested to know. Thanks for looking and congratulations to all who have posted on here everyone provides a motivation to everyone else and I think that's what makes this site an amazing place, positive feedback and appreciation from strangers is powerful!

Good job! How tall?
[QUOTE=wanttolose485;830712881]Good job! How tall?[/QUOTE]
Thank you very much :) I'm 5,11 or 180cm and I weight 69kgs and a 29 inch waist at present so hence the now wanting to do a lean bulk I'm just trying to work out my macros and what style of eating to use, I've been tempted by leangains but I don't quite get the calorie and macro intake properly and Martin berkhan still hasn't brought out his book yet! How about yourself what are your current training goals?

Impressive! That gives me a good idea of how much more I have to lose... I am 5' 10" and 167 lbs... so, at an inch shorter, I should have to get even lower weight than you. :)
My transformation is 2 pages back, I believe. I am currently still cutting... I am planning to keep cutting til about Easter, and then start bulking slowly and cleanly... for a while. I need to put on some muscle, since I don't have much right now. Plus, I need to fill in some loose skin... 80+ lbs lost, it didn't do me any favors. Lol
Sounds like you have been doing well and you are still making decent progress! When I was doing my cut I was on a primal eating diet of protein, fruit, veg and lots of good fats with no processed food or carbs that's what got me lean as well as following a basic three day a week compound lift routine to keep what muscle I had whilst I did cut. Also I pretty much only drank water or herbal tea I cut out all alcohol and soft drinks and anything with sugar in.
Just a little gist of what I did in case you were interested, and believe it or not except bracing my abs hard in every exercise I never did any direct ab work what so ever in fact for some strange reason if I started working my abs my appetite dropped and training motivation did too it was odd!
I wish you luck in the rest of your training keep focussed and imagine just how great you will feel when you get where you are happy, that will be a great day for you!
5'3 - and not even close to being done!

Damn you are looking really really good! You should be proud of your achievements and you look like you have made yourself an absolutely fantastic figure! You definitely have a thumbs up from me! I'd love to see your future progress so feel free to private message me if you like, nice job lady!

Wow, Great Job! You look great, keep it up!
Thanks!! ^_^
[QUOTE=AngiesBack;830782011]Thanks!! ^_^[/QUOTE]
You're welcome :) so what plans do you have for your training and future goals out of curiosity?
Well up until recently it was all about weight loss. But now I've started weight training and really want to focus on slimming down and toning. But I'm still really learning how to tweak my diet to compliment my training. I'd like to lose a lot more body fat and then really tone up my arms and back.
I need to remind myself to keep coming back to this thread. Seeing the lifestyle and body transformations keep me motivated and inspire me to get my ass back in gear when I'm feeling lazy or complacent. I only hope I can acheive the type of progress in regards to BF% that some of you guys have worked hard for. :)

You can totally get there. Getting started and staying the course is really the most difficult part and that's all mental. What kind of training are you doing? I think at my absolute heaviest, I was 193lbs (YIKESSSSS!) It was at a doctor's office and I convinced myself the scale was THAT off. No, I was just that fat.

Some great results here, coming from a 'fat' background and working my way to fit, I can relate to both the desire and the pleasure from progress. Keep it up guys.
I will post my own progress as soon as I hit 50 posts and can post images.

205 lbs to 191(my goal is 165, June 1)
Last summer, even at 170 I had the same big love handles. My strenght at the gym is going up which is great. 20% deficit calories, losing 1-2 lbs/week which is also great(except for the first week, water weight I guess) the only place where i'm not seeing results is on my body...what the ****??? Same thing as last year...195 to 170 and the only place I wasn't seeing any results was on my body. Da fuk is wrong???
296 to 202 and counting...
Hi!
I'm new to the forum. I'm really trying to push on and lose those final 30-40 or so pounds. I feel as if I'm over half way with my progress, but would appreciate any input in terms of bf%. I'm thinking I'm in the 20-25% category.
All I can say is it has been tough, but it's so inspiring to see others out there with similar stories. If I can help in anyway please do not hesitate to ask.
P.s. I have a bunch of photos showing monthly progress I would like to share, if anyone is interested.

Motivating! keep it going
Good job guys. Hoping to post pictures of my progression sometime in june. Thats if I get to my goal..
whole progress goal achieved
starting for new one [ATTACH=CONFIG]4147081[/ATTACH]
[QUOTE=deekay21;830930451]progress so far (been 15 weeks)[/QUOTE]
What was your routine, diet, etc? I'm in a similar boat as you in the first picture, but with a little bit more fat.
heres my before and after.
before ~190 with 18% bodyfat.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4147131[/ATTACH]
after 155 and 6.5% BF
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4147141[/ATTACH]
gonna start bulking soon
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4148101[/ATTACH]
Currently only 30 or so lbs away from my goal of 230! From there I'm going to see if I need to lose anymore or not. I think I'm at around 20-25% body fat right now so 230 would put me in a pretty good place.
At 6'3, I was weighing in around 350 and was going to be turning 21 in November. And it was pretty much all fat, I'd never really been muscular... had been leaner in my teens before high school ended, but not alot of muscle. So in the summer, decided it was time to change my life around. Alot of trial and error with diet and exercise... had a good friend who showed me how to lift, albeit more powerlifting as opposed to bodybuilding... but, in the end, any form of exercise helps, and educating yourself with knowledge from individuals you meet along the way, as well with online resources like bodybuilding.com, there is no reason why someone should feel like there isn't stuff out there to help them with what they want to achieve.
I still have a long way to go, but I'm happy with what I've achieved so far. Currently, between 235-242. It'll be two years of lifting weights, March 30th! Dat loose skin is a ma****a!

Dude I had the same issue! It's only these past 2 weeks that i've noticed a slight reduction in the fat stored there - i haven't done anything different I just persevered and kept doing what I was doing

Don't take this the wrong way but what's ur diet and workout like? 14 months is enough time to pack a little more on.
Progress none the less!

You've done a good job so far, but I think you're underestimating your fat by a rather significant amount. Also if you're still eating 12-1800 I would change that immediately.
