Here is me at about 235. I started eating healthy and exercising two years ago. I was at least 400lbs back then, I couldn't even weigh myself. I want to get down to around 180 then bulk back up to about 200lbs in time.

Wow - just wow. I kept scrolling up and down looking at the two pictures because they look so different. I mean, if I saw the old you on the street, and then the new you came up later, I wouldn't know. Hell - even if we were best friends I probably wouldn't have noticed you after the change. Amazing results, man! Keep it up!

Some of my family up north didn't know who i was when I went up for a wedding and was greeting them. It was funny.


What I did to lose weight was started eating alot less calories. For the first few months it was around 2200 a day, then months later 2000, now its 1800. Plus alot of exercise. I am trying to save up for a home gym like johns to add muscle back on, i'm sure I lost a whole lot along the way.

That is really impressive. I thought I could surpirse people when I lost 120 lbs. But you shure knocked me down. Keep up the great work and scan some good picutres so there could be even more motivation for other people to workout.
Way to go. :claplow:

I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself cause I am having a heck of a time losing the last 10-15lbs I've got when I saw your pix. What an incredible job! It is only by slowly, steadily working towards our goals that we make progress...no matter how far we are! It's never easy. Thank you for that reminder! I'm very impressed! :bow: You da man!!

Oh...my...God!!! Way to go!! Very, very, VERY impressive transformation!! DUDE...you've GOT to send in your photos to Xenadrine and Hydroxycut! They'll go nuts (I mean that literally) and shower you with billions of dollars to be their weight loss guru!

Damn...and here I was thinking losing the next (last) 40 lbs. is hard. Shame on me!! Time to hit my nutrition, cardio, and weight workouts like I never have before.

Dude...you ARE the MAN!! :tucool:

EDIT: Oh, and I'm never having a cheat day again. Only cheat meals from now on! I've gotta get down to 165 by June 15th!! :claphigh:

Here's me feeling a little sorry for myself with 40lbs to lose. Bro, without you saying a thing I've learned one of the most valuable lessons possible. There is ALWAYS someone who is gonna work harder than you to get to their goal.

Makes me wanna go to the gym now, and it's 12.20am!

As pretty much everyone else in here has mentioned, you are THE man.

Still flippin unbelievable.

Thanks again all. I still have around 50lbs I need to drop off. It's been a rough journey but I am getting close to my goal and it has been worth all the struggles. I just can't wait to one day post a "final" pic when I reach my goal weight. It's gonna be sweet! I always get a good laugh when I look back at my fat pictures, especially cause I am always making a stupid face in them, but its great motivation to see how much I've changed and helps keep me on track.

Zef I was wondering did/do you suffer from GERD< IBS<Gastritris? If so how is it now? I was doing fairly well last 6 months as I near 100lb lost hopefully next week but got nailed hard 4 days ago which really upsetting me. So I was just wondering what to expect if weight loss really helps that much and just when it kicks in. I just wish it let me continue loss weight! It forced me into starvation mode, and is messing with exercise just name few things and I following diet, rules to a T, besides being on two doses of 40mg of Nexium a day last year and half P

Congrats on your amazing victory :)

Zef,

You've done something that's absolutely spectacular! I think it's terrific you're willing to share your story with everyone on the net. I just know you will be a source of inspiration for many others who wrongly believe they can't loose the weight!

Definately looking forward to the day you post that picture of at your goal weight!
