Hi Everybody:

My real name is Mauricio, I am from Colombia South America, I found this forum while googling about weight loss forums, I found it very interesting and would love to share with all of you my life experience.... One year ago I was too fat, I was too sad and bored for many reasons the most important: OBESITY, this is an illness that can affect to any person in any time of their lifes, I want to share with everyone who reads this that I didn't go on any diet, I just changed my food habits a little bit, I started to train myself on an elliptical trainer 1 hour daily, that way my fitness improved 100%, not only lost weight, I gained muscle mass, I am very happy about that. I wanted to post some pictures of me when fat and skinner ( before and after) How did I do it??? I made the commitment of make some kind of exercise every day of my happy and young life, now, I train on the elliptical and play football soccer 4 times a week, remember: zero diets, none!!!!!, I hope you find my pictures very motivatings and if you have some question just let me know, I will be more than glad to help anyone who wants to lose some pounds.

Cool. good that you lost some weight :)

Got any more full body pics? The face only shows so much :O

Perhaps full body pics with no top on ? *G*
 
Hi Mauricio! It is really inspiring to see someone really committed & doing the right things & doing it sensibly. All the very best. I've often noticed that the desire to lose weight makes people do the most bizzare things. I've been there too. Infact very recently, (after many years of yo-yoing), I've finally made a monumental decision. I'm no longer bothered about losing weight. Instead iam now focusing on eating right & exercising regularly. weight loss can be a fall out of that.How about that???!!!!
 
hey Rashmi

Thanks a lot for your posting, I agree that people always does bizarre things to lose weight, I tried many things but the change had to be in my mind and I didn't find it yet 1 and a half year ago, so, I started to change my mind, I stopped thinking about losing weight and started to think about getting fit, now I just think about my fitness, I don't intend to be a schwarzeneger, I only try to be a normal healthy person, I have a family, wife and daughter and being fat was affecting some of my normal activities with them ( play with my baby, having sex with my wife) two years ago I couldn't run half a block because I felt my heart was going to blow away, now I can run for 1:30 hours, I have even played two soccer games in a same day, that's awesome. Right now I have a football soccer team and we signed up on an important tournament here in my city, I will let you know how we did in 3 months.:)
 
The girl in the picture is my sister on her wedding day and the guy holding the glass is the ugly lucky husband lol :D , now you can notice my change
 
Great job, that is basically the way I am trying to lose it too. Motivation is everthing. An hour on the elliptical, wow that is a lot. I think I need to step it up and stay on mine longer so I see better results. Thanks for sharing.
 
I'm with Wishes.. [chants] Take the top off... take the top off.. take the pants.. oops- :D :p

Hey Mark/Mauricio (btw, which do you prefer to be called?) - Congrats on the weightloss.. you can definitely tell a difference.. your tummy doesn't look "full" anymore and your face has definitely lost the extra chin - out of curiosity, what's football soccer? Do you kick a football around versus a soccer ball? :confused:

Well, welcome to the forums and thanks for the inspiration! ;)
 
Dear Shalynn


Thanks a lot for your posting, I will have to take some pictures but my tummy is too flaccid because of the extra skin, anyway I do have one picture of my big fat tummy on my sister's computer, I will ask her to send it to me and I will take a picture my current tummy. question? why the pants off? ;) lol

Please reply asap
