[QUOTE=npifact;959737413]Hey im new to the site, just wanted to check in. In 2007 I weighed close to 300lbs, i was on and off untill now. And now after 3 months of solid exercising and dieting i am down to 195. I am 6'0 and around 20% bf i would say. I weighed around 215 when i started. Im not even close to my final goal of being ripped up yet, but i seem to not be making any changes here lately. what do yall think so far?[/QUOTE] Awesome transformation
From 244 to 180.
Took about 2.5 years.
My transformation :)
--short story, had some health issues and it made me gain quite a bit of weight..and then finally was able to lose it and here I am today shredding along ;)
I want to compete possibly next year! :)
Over the past two years I have worked with Sean Erhart with [url]www.nattynutrition.com[/url] and currently working with Catherine Holland IFBB Figure Pro [url]www.fitcatfitness.com[/url]
It is a good example of how a person can become completely different. I think the key to lose weight is motivation. My father also lost about 40 lbs. He had a lot of motivation. He followed the "Muscle Maximizer" program guide. He not only lost weight but also grow some muscle. I think this is the best program which helps to lose weight. But you must remember, that the main thing is MOTIVATION. About the program you can read here: buildingleanmuscle.mysel.eu/review
I hope it will help you... :)

Great work on your tranformation. Repped.
[QUOTE=wolfe715;951652083]I started out at 250 pounds, then cut down to 183 over the course of 3 years. I am around 5% bodyfat right now! Follow my fanpage!
Everything is diet for me. I started out with a restricted diet, now I am eating a ton and enjoying life!!
Totally inspiring man. Great work. Repped.
First of all, congratulations to all achieving goals and changing their lives, it's a rewarding journey. Pat yourselves on the back and keep up the hard work. Here's my progress so far. It's not exactly where I want to be, but it's coming. I've become a little impatient with my progress as of late, but sometimes you just need to realize how far you come.

VERY impressive; good job
[QUOTE=BloodySalad;951190053]I started out at 300lbs in September last year, looking like this:

By April 2012, I got down to 177lbs and then went on my first bulk. I put on about 20lbs and then, at the end of June, did my first proper cut.
I've now completed my cut and am about to bulk again:

Before I started this, I was fat, unfit (I smoked as well) and I'd probably have been dead by the age of 60. Not good with a young family of 3 kids under the age of 7. Even walking up the stairs would knock me out. Now I can lift and swim and run for miles. I've still a long way to go (I'd like to be bigger and more defined), but I feel 100% better than I did just over a year ago.
So if you're over 40, don't give up. It [b]can[/b] be done. Although I don't for one second pretend to be perfect, I know I've made myself a lot better than I was. And if I can do it, believe me, so can you.[/QUOTE]
awesome!
some strong inspiration
here goes my pics 350 to current picture at 290
[QUOTE=GSUBarbell;960891343]here goes my pics 350 to current picture at 290[/QUOTE]
Congratz bro. Motivates me even mnore to start lifting!!

Sweet ass progress GSUBarbell!
Workout?
my program change by feel, i do powerlifitng and strongman training
mostly sets of 1-5 reps on compound movements, but i do work certain muscles specifically not so much for movement
biceps, lats, lower traps are groups i try to hit hard for the size and function
go to my youtube account GSUBarbell or search Hunter Poole to look at my videos
to get a better idea
Here's the quick story: I went from somewhat fit, racked up minor injuries, couldn't workout, lost motivation, depression hit, got fat, got motivated, got fit. If I can do it, so can you. believe that![ATTACH=CONFIG]4960343[/ATTACH]
Hey all. First post on my progress from march..
Tough year, software developer and 3rd year varsity.. no excuses for gym though :P
Pictures are from march and september this year.
Picture on the left was me about 6 months ago. I always dreamed about becoming a US Marine, but I always struggled with my weight. I finally got serious and went on a strict diet & exercise plan. After losing 62lbs, I enlisted. I leave to boot camp on January 14, 2013.
Starting weight: 215
Current Weight: 153
All goals are attainable if your heart is in it.
