370 to 228; still need to get past plateau

I'm now 201lbs and you look way thinner than me :(


Must have put on loads of muscle from all those pushups to be that heavy but looking thin.
 
I've always looked less than I weigh (after I lost weight lol).


Distribution of fat and height (6'1?) or something Muscular legs are killer-heavy too :p
 
Yeah I'm 6'1" as well.


I'm saying you look good for your weight!! I think it's fat distribution or something, I still have lots in my face and belly, I don't have the same kind of "straight" midsection that you have and I'm 10lbs lighter O_O


I'm jealous to be honest, I think your hard work has payed off with the toning up, it's something I'll have to get around to, but damn 240 pushups a day, I can do a set of maybe 18 then rest and about 10, then I'm dead :S
 
yeah i dont have much of a belly -- my big problem was the moobs, and although im still thick up top, the manlier shape theyve gotten has made that a lot less embarrassing =p
 
Im feeling really depressed after like looking in the mirror and seeing like pictures of themobo down there, realizing i'll never look anything like that...


Why did I screw myself as a kid :(

I know exactly how you feel, every time I look at myself in the mirror, I just want to go back in time and kick my own ass. Than I just tell myself that trying to change the past is pointless, but at least I am doing something about it now, and I am only 23 years old.
 
Yeah it's really depressing ugh.


I get all kinds of resentment from it :p I can't even see how far i've come anymore... just how far I have to go lol.
 
You're looking awesome, dude! :biggrin:


Good on ya! I hope to rock tighter t-shirts like that in the future

Looking at your pics, one of the many things I have to work on myself (aside from muscle definition) is my damn tan! I'm almost like a vampire without a shirt on. :p I can't really go out in the sun for very long as I inherited fair skin from my mother, so I burn VERY easily. I once got really bad sun blisters as a kid.. I mean BAD. It was horrible :\


Anyway, keep up the great work!

Lol it's funny you mention a tan -- i have a huge tan line that you can partially see (farmers tan) lol.


That shirt is actually too big i pulled it back because it hangs, haha :p
 
Your thread just inspired me. I've been plateaued for a few months now. I think its time to start running.

I'm happy that I inspired you!


Just be careful! I went for a sprint last night in the cold, and my asthma suffered for it! lol
 
205.


I'm having a really hard time right now avoiding "eating to eat," because I just had some legal trouble (for the first time ever) cuz of being in a park after dark and it's stressing me out. I've never been a comfort food eater, but I've been more like 'screw it why not eat.'


No weight gain... yet :-/ but I have to stop before it's too late lol
 
Great pic, kiramon!


Hey, just remember that we're all human and we can't be perfect all the time.


Just try to think about all the people that gain inspiration from your transformation. Do your best to draw strength from that knowledge when a temptation comes along, or when you're feeling particularly stressed out.


I have no doubt you're helping so many people on this forum avoid stress-related issues in the future due to their weight, and you're doing that by keeping them motivated with your success!


This legal situation won't last forever, but your accomplishments will, as long as you don't let the burdens of life get the best of you!


Hang tough and keep your focus! :)
 
Hang in there bro! You have come along way and it has taken lots of hard work. I am hard on myself but I need to realize that I have made some huge accomplishments and so have you. Keep up the hard work and it will pay off in the end.

Thanks dudes.

This is going to be a rough week, with work dinners and thanksgiving... but I'll get through it. :)
 
ADon't worry man I'm sure you will get through this, you have been through a lot to get to where you are now, so I am sure this will just be another bump on the road.
 
Well thanksgiving is over.


I ate a lot but im not worried, lol. I needed to --Im sick and i need the energy. That's what I'll tell myself ^_^;


Anyways, I went to the doctor. He said I might have testosterone deficiency and should get a test done to see for sure... which would explain some low gym gains, man boobs lol, and like a lack of energy.

The body needs fuel -- but not too much fuel, kira ;) hehe


Glad you're not worried. Even if you do gain, hey, you can just lose it again, yeah?

I hope everyone on this forum realizes that and doesn't become discouraged if they see a slight (or large) gain. That kind of thing will only make you stressed and angry, which can lead to all kinds of trouble with keeping up with your regimen.


Just relax, know it'll come off again in a few days, and continue on.

Good luck with that testosterone issue and I hope you get your full energy back soon!
 
Haha...


I still ate less (for the entire day) than a non-dieting/weight loss person. It's just a lot for me :p
 
I almost wasn't allowed into the casino today because I haven't updated my Driver's License photo yet and it's that huge of a difference...


which was really annoying because it almost became harassment the amount of stuff they made me do to prove it's me... I was about to show them my arms and be like see i was fat.


I dunno if I should feel good that they couldn't tell it was me or offended that they didn't believe my handwriting was the same XD.
