My 100 pound weight loss (PICS)

I was always chubby, but in 2008 I became depressed for a reason that I even forget now and I let myself go. In May 2009 this is the picture that really made me snap out of it and made me realize I was just a fat lard piece of ****. I'm going to get trolled for this.

So I began to cut down massively on what I was eatig, completely cut off sodas and junk food from my diet, and after losing 60 pounds I was fit enough to start working out and jogging, making me lose another 40 pounds. So within a year and 1 month, I was weighing in at 216 pounds. My goal weight is 190 and I still need to work off some facial fat and manboobs.

Nice work keep it up. Snuggly bear excuse is practicely non-existent.

Great job dude!

Stone Temple Pilots were great, but they have fallen from grace. :P

Nice dude, it really says a lot about your character and willpower to be able to get this far. Keep it up!

I'd also like to suggest going swimming as opposed to running. Swimming burns a lot more calories, it is less stressful on your joints in the long run, and it gives your entire body a good workout.

very inspiring! And thank you for sharing.

I myself have about 100 pounds to lose at least before I even remotely get back to my old self. I already lost about 70, but I am kind of stuck at the moment.

What did you do to motivate yourself? That is my greatest problem; I know nutrition, I've been working out since I was in 7th grade (13 years old)...I know what to do in my head but in my heart there is this thing that says "Meh..."

Great work!SeanDog123

Awesome! I've had to lose weight too, and it is NOT easy. Many people don't think they can do it, but people like you prove them wrong with determination and the all-important willpower. Keep it up!

It is possible:o Good job man!

Yeah those darn moobs!! I'm skinny and still have them...

Congrats :D

Congratz!! keep it up man

You are supposed to smile in the AFTER pics. Why aren't you smiling? :x

Congratulations man :D

Good job, I'm prouud of youuu :D

Very nice man, keep it up.

Congrats man. I can't believe it only took you a year. wstfld

Well, I lost like 7 pounds within a week whilst still eating junk food. :P


Congratz man!

TC, may I ask what you were eating? I'm trying to cut down myself. wstfld

You're going to have to start REALLY light. This is the hardest part of it, and may not be considered healthy by some people, but in reality you're going to have to do this to train yourself not to always want food. I ate a granola or cereal bar for breakfast, something small for lunch (never really mattered what exactly it was) and tomatoes on fiber bread for dinner. This will train your body to eat less food, make your metabolism more effective,and flush out water weight pretty quickly, and it will make a difference immediately. After a few days of doing that, then we can start eating properly. I'd eat something healthy and substantial for breakfast, normally a bacon egg and cheese on a roll. I would usually eat fruit and vegetables at lunch, like a salad. Dinner, grilled skinless chicken is awesome, and try to add vegetables in with it. Have one day a week where you'll just eat as much as you want as long as your metabolism will not have you gain all the weight back in one day, a few weeks ago I had a day where I had 11 slices of pizza for dinner. :P

Walk or jog everyday if time permits it, or do plenty of cardio excercises at the gym.

The secret when you reach your goal is to maintain that weight and fitness level. Many people can easily snap back to their old habits and end up like their old selves. Ghost_702

Good for you man! I totally respect that. I was 250 at my heaviest, and my lowest was 180. (I'm back at 210)

Keep it up!

Way to go man. Keep smilin.

You are a counter argument to all the sympathizers out there that say they can't lose weight instead of putting down the twinkie and actually trying.

Good job. Hopefully you will keep it up. Pretty soon you will be down to 160 like me, and have such a ramped up metabolism you have problems PUTTING ON weight (I used to be 190, got myself down to 160 again about 2 years ago and now can't keep on weight to save my life).

Yeah those darn moobs!! I'm skinny and still have them...

Nice work! I personally have about 50 punds to lose.

[QUOTE="McJugga"]I would.Big_Bad_Sad

Very nice! Congrats!

bench press = goodbye moobs.

weight lifting is amazing for calorie burning too so consider that.

if you just want the exercise from it then do high reps low weight, if you want bulk go for both and do high reps for toneness and high weight for the muscle mass.

Congratz!! keep it up man
