My total progress - 78 lbs lost so far

Here is the comparison pic:

This is a 63 lb total. I had lost 15 lbs before I had the first pic taken - meaning, you might be scared to see what I looked like back when I was 285!!! I was 270 in the before pic. I am now 207 and am beginning to see the top four of my 6-pack. No idea what my bodyfat is, because I flat out quit using that retarded electronic scale that constantly gives me inaccurate measurements. Once my abs are clearly visible I'll post the shirt off comparison pics, too (with the before pics being me at 225 somewhere between this May and this July)

For those wondering, I am also currently much stronger, faster, and can hit a baseball a hell of a lot farther than back then.

Huge improvement. I could drop a few pounds myself-- I currently weigh 230.

Geez... you were one hell of a scary mother at 16...

Very nice work man, well done.

 

[change]

Very nice work man. I went through something similar. I used to weigh like 205 when I was 17 and Ive gradually slimmed down to about 165. Now Im trying to bulk up again though, haha. Great going.

Now drop that Spongebob shirt.... it counts as 30lbs.

Congratulations man! That's one hell of an improvement!

It's kinda funny how you look older in the 16 yr old pic than you do now. That's good stuff.

 

[MetalFortress]

Hah, yeah. I got told that I look 28 once when I was 16. I'm considering going into modeling on the side once I'm closer to my goals.

The leaner/healthier/fitter you are, the younger you look.

I read that in a woman's mag.

(but it's true!)

Doesn't even look remotley like the same person. And that is telling something about your achievement. ! You get a thumb up and a sexy dancing yellow sphere :cheer:

I have a workout journal on the board. My workout now consists of mostly olympic weightlifting and squatting, which is a pretty fast way to both fat loss and muscle gain because of the stress put on the body. My diet is nothing too strict, just keeping the high carb stuff and junk food out of it.

Total respect and a real inspiration to anyone looking to shed some weight!

I'd love to read how people's perceptions towards you have changed and how you feel differently too.

 

[RaWBLooD]

You will get that much progress if you actually make a strict diet.

I never really felt too down and out back then, but nowadays, I get random chicks jocking me, I got people saying I have a face like a model. It's crazy. I feel a lot more athletic and capable now, and more confident in general.

Man you were a big boy all those years ago.

Great job on the weight loss. There's a great picture of me when I was 35lbs heavier and 5 inches shorter; I looked like an Oompa Loompa.

What are your goals now?

 

[MetalFortress]

10 percent bodyfat, and then I want to get my weight back up to 220ish with that same bodyfat percentage. I also want to front squat 400 pounds and clean and jerk 300.

 

[spider_007]

there aren't many people who can do that big of a change. I hope you realized haw much you achived.
