Before and After Pictures! Bust Them Up!!!

Just checkin in on this. I am exactly the same weight as I was last August. I dropped down to 163lbs but am back up to 170 after quitting smoking again (little lapse there for several months).

DJE, very impressive. I would not know how to get to this level...how old are you anyway??

man these thread's make me wish i kept at my training before and didn't stop
since i stopped my running,i've slowly climbed back to the weight I was before I started,and although i've started the gym and doing weight's again,i just can't get the cardio going like i could have before,i could run for 3/4 miles and feel good,now when i go for even a 2 mile run,i end up cutting it short and making up excuses for myself

i'm off to turkey monday,my aim is to start the full routine once i'm back,hopefully kick start if off with a cardio session in the gym tomorrow

 

Congrats!

 

really great! I look forward when I can post such things

 

No Excuses

WOW. No, more excuses for me.

 

I have gone from 155 to 195.. I remember the days at 195.. I hated myself.. from then on I never let myself go above 175 under any circumstances.. I am 5'10" etc..

it's true about looking like a different person.. I can say from 155 to 195 I was completely different looking..

I know it's hard work and managing what you eat is no fun.. but it is fantastic to be thin and fit.. I think everyone should endeavor to do so.. stay below 10% BF if you are a man and you will feel 10-20 years younger easily..

I was like 25 when I was 195 and felt 50.. when I busted my ass to get below 160 again I felt 25 again.

 

I hesitate to even post in this thread as it almost holds me accountable.

I'm 6'0" and I weigh 305 lbs.

The solution is so simple, yet so, so difficult. Eat right. Exercise.

I've been biking for the last month and I have no problem biking 15 miles in various terrain, although that isn't very impressive. I thought I was doing well until I went on a fairly steep hike with my wife for our 12th anniversary. I made it to the top, but not without many rest stops and determination.

I actually carry 305 lbs fairly well. I look like I weigh about 260. When I was in decent shape while in the USAF I weighed in at 225. I would love to be there again.

All it takes is getting into the routine. Do as much reading on eating right(or more right) now, as well as different exorcises that you can actually see yourself doing for the weeks ahead; and later months... years There are so many ways to do it, and really, most / all of them work; it's just about finding the thing that works for you, and keeping motivation.

Good luck!

 

+1 agree fully, Once your routine is in place you will find yourself feeling bad in missing one workout which is 10,000 better than feeling bad for not doing anything at all.

Remix, ditto on your progress, you look great.

 

I have taken a before picture, but I will not post it until I have at least some after results to show....

 

found some stats I was keeping about 14 months ago when I last attempted (and failed) to get myself to lose weight. It lasted about a week before I went off form. I'm now going on 6 months

Some interesting bits
....................then.............................................now
weight.........272 lbs........................................238 lbs
curling......... 50 lb barbell................................75 lb
Max............. 90 lb............................................125 lb
sit ups......... 25...............................................60
pushups ......10...............................................30

Nevermind the fact that my reps were generally lower, and I only did it in one set back then.

 

Nice.

I see that lovely lady bought her tickets to the gun show. lol

Congrats.

Uh, finally making my way back to the gym after a near week off again. These allergy shots are making things really difficult.

 

Found a better "before" pic...this was late 2006.
