I've only just joined this forum but feel I should show my before and after pictures.
I put on a huge amount of weight from the age of 11, and was overweight for the majority of my life (I'm now 22). Going through my teenage years overweight was hell, especially at school.
In September 2009, I completely changed my lifestyle. I completely changed my diet, lifted weights every day and did a huge amount of cardio (mostly running).
Although 180lbs may be considered overweight, I put on a huge amount of muscle during my training and went from benching 50kg to 100kg within 2 months of training. I'd also say I'm naturally quite stocky (broad shoulders, etc.)
Before:
September 2009
In-between:
December 2009
After:
February 2010
My diet mostly consisted of:
Breakfast: Shredded Wheat
Lunch: Tin of tuna & fruit
Dinner: Chicken or fish and vegetables
Before bed: Cottage cheese
I drank huge amounts of water and completely stopped drinking things with sugar in. Green tea was also really awesome after a workout.
I don't think I'd have achieved my weightloss without the help of a friend, who is really into his weightlifting. Although I did cardio alone (I hate doing cardio with other people!), he really helped me with my weightlifting.
