Before and Current

Ummm... can you say "HOTTIE" :eek2:
Very, VERY well done! Thanks for loading the b4 pic - your transformation is nothing short of STELLAR!

 
Hey Falco,

Quick question... just wondering how you managed to snap back most of the skin. I feel like that might be a problem for me, but I hope not.

Thanks.

Well, for me skin was never an issue. If lost right, 1-2lbs a week, and not too quickly, I feel the skin has time to adjust. I assume on quite larger people it my be a bigger issue. The faster you lose, the more skin you got to worry about.

This probably doesn't answer your question, but I had no skin to manage and I feel it is because I lost the weight properly.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks... I don't think it will be a huge issue either but sometimes I see a little sag going on and its obviously in my mind. I still have quite a bit of BF to go (maybe at 20-22, not sure) but still not bad since I am coming from 35ish.

Thanks for the input, I think I might be at my goal around the same time you achieved yours... 18 months. Expect me to be asking you a lot of questions in the next few weeks if you don't mind :)

Oh yeah, like for instance, did you have to start really number crunching as you got closer to goal? Or was the weight at least consistent? Any plateaus that had you struggle? If so, what did you do to correct them?

Thanks

Feel free to ask me anything you want. I will help you the best I can. As far as plateaus, yea, I had them. In some cases I upped cals for a week or 2, others I dropped a bit. I added in some interval training and that helped as well. Sometimes it was a matter of just letting loose a little over the weekends to shake the metabolism up. Everyone's body responds to different stimuli, it all depends on what calorie level you are at, how low below maint you are and how long you been there. The lower you go and the closer you get to your goal, the harder and slower it is and I noticed I really had to keep track of what I consumed. every little calorie here and there above your total adds up and will come back to bite you. As long as you are staying active, incorporating resistence training and adjusting your cals as you lose, you will be fine.
 
Hey man, long time no see. Hope all is well!

I know this isn't your journal, but no other place to put this.

Hey bro. I know, I been thinking about starting a new journal. Things are going well, just getting ready for the Big Arnold. You heading out there this year?

I went through a little bulking phase and now I am going to diet down for a few months and see what happens. I hope all is well with you man. Congrats on your successful bulk, you are looking huge!
 
I'm not sure if I'm going out to the AC this year or not. I'd like to. And if I do, I'd have a shit ton of more free time. I was meeting quite a few people out there outside of the city and it was just a bit too crazy.

If I do, I'll be sure to send you a PM or text. Is your phone number still the same?

Yea, everything is still the same. Definately look me up if you go. I know we missed each other last time because of your schedule.
