Hey wassup?? thx for reading...well well well lemme give the background

history
Every scince i hit puberty at around the age of 10 i've gotten bigger each year...playing football and scarce meals with incredible binging episodes led me to get fatter every year till the age of 18(this year) in result I never got any girls all my "so called friends" made fun of me...i never felt comfortable and i was getting extremely depressed and was feeling alone..i started smoking weed in ciggarettes and getting drunk to get away from all the emptyness inside me...i've been w/ a couple girls but none i would like at the moment....
The moment of clarity
I was at a party and I got extremely drunk...i was by myself and i broke down in tears (yes tears)...it was right after i was told to talk to these girls n they started laughing at me...i was embarrassed n i couldn't take it, i walked away from the party in passed out in someone's back yard...still crying i looked up all alone and knew then NO-ONE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME the only one i can rely on is myself....from then on i've gon to the gym..breaking bad habits left and right
RESULTS!!!
so far i've dropped 40lbs...and im looking much different...i actually have a relationship in-the-making..w/ a girl who is actually been hit on by ever guy possible she's an hb8.5 im very lucky!!!

i've decided to log about the last 64 pounds...my goal is 196....in the next 3 months...and at the moment im dropping weight pretty fast...!!

What's the diet look like?
The lifting?

If you're dropping weight like this might as well morph your body at the same time

 

[Badmannaz]

march 25th

20 minutes cardio
10 min sets each....


i was doing fullbody heavy lifting cycle last month...right now im working on losing more fat less on weight lifting...i still lift but the focus is more on cardio right now and ab work outs....

my diet is whatever i want to eat!!!

the trick is not eating alot i might eat a bag of chips but will throw away half of it...i don't eat fast foods...breads or really any junk food...i mostly eat yogurt n meats n veggies.. lately im lacking in food and that's why i've been so tired lately....:nono: gotta get it together!!!

Hey bro, you're doing fvcking awesome man, your transformation is truly an inspiration

Out of interest, what type of diet are you following (i.e. what type of foods), and are you still lifting weights? Your diet wants to contain enough protein to help preserve muscle mass while you're losing weight, and the weight lifting, as you know, will also help preserve muscle mass, as well as perhaps building a little muscle[1].

A good amount of protein to shoot for is around 1g/lb of bodyweight, and many of the lads round here advocate shooting for more like 2g/lb of bodyweight. You can probably get away with 1g/lb or a bit under (i.e. 0.8g/lb). That means plenty of fish, chicken, beef etc. Is your diet giving you plenty of protein at the moment btw?

Since everything is working great in terms of weight loss, I guess supplements aren't necessary at all, so sod em, though you might wanna try drinking green tea, as it has the cool property of speeding up daily caloric expenditure, and promoting oxidation of free fatty acids (i.e. promotes fat burning). I've seen Warboss Alex and some other lads around here recommend about 2g worth of green tea extract in pill form, or 7+ bags of the tea if you wanna drink it.

Green tea is also good for you in loads of ways btw, i.e. it is rich in antioxidants.

cheers,

If you want to kick ur diet into high gear.

try a low carb diet for 1 to 2 months..you could drop 20 to 30 more lbs..but you probably wont gain any muscle on it

Badass job man, keep it up. I've got plenty of fat to lose like you did, what has been your experience with skin tightening up? That's been on my mind alot lately.
