Starting point

[DCSpinerz]

My starting point was late March. I was 237 pounds and way out of shape. Broke up with my girl and got on the grind heavy. The second pic was taken a couple days ago. I'm down to 207 and 10% body fat. IF and cardio 6 days a week. I'm gonna keep cutting to 200 and then maintain for the summer. My plan is to do a clean bulk and go back up to 210 and hopefully be able to keep my body fat at 10%.

Good shyt my nikka. I see a big difference.

20 pounds heavier, most of the gains are in my legs.

What'd you do to get concentrated weight gain on your legs?? Eat extra calories and squats only?

^^^Thought I was too small, and wanted to bulk(pic is from March of this year 165lbs I had to up my daily caloric intake TREMENDOUSLY just to get to this weight):

Spoiler

I got tired of my lower back fat and lower ab fat, and decided to start my cut(a month ago) when I reached 168lbs(pic is from the last couple days. I'm 152lbs in these pics):

Spoiler

I love my body, than hate my body, than love it, than hate it, than love it, than hate it....I don't know which physique I'm going for at this point....



All I know is that I'm trying to have the best v-cut possible and that I hate lower back fat...

Daily cardio like jumprobes help me out alot.

If you were doing the jogging, and weightlifting and stuff like that, than I think the only thing probably holding you back is diet. Some of these vids helped me to cut fat:

Went from 300 lbs to 237 lbs since March. Ive had the worst diet known to man for basicslly my whole life (never even ate a salad or vegetable until about 3 uears ago). Since 2011 I've been off and on trying to lose weight and bouncing between 300+ lbs to 250 lbs. I'd do right for a minute, lose a lil weight, and then backslide.

In March I was 300+ lbs with no health issues. After listening to Slim Thug talk about getting healthy, I decided to really be dedicated and I saw this challenge somewhere on Facebook. I finally got tired of how i looked and felt with bad eating habits and of playing Russian Roulette with my health. I just pigged out March 5th and went cold turkey the next day.

Before, even when I cut out fried foods I was still eating potatoes, bread & cereal. Well, I followed the above challenge and the pounds just started flying off. I'm talking like 5 lbs every 5 or 6 days before I even started doing daily cardio a month later.

Here's my last 5 years tracked with MyFitnessPal. I was so big I didn't even weight myself once I saw 298 lbs on a scale so please believe I was actually 300+ lbs easy in March.

Right now I'm at around 238-ish lbs. I actually got down to 235.9 lbs and broke my eating habits on purpose during vacation last week to see how my body would react and how much I would gain from "cheat meals." I didnt really gain but like a pound but it showed me that breads really are the main thing that stick to me and I really have to avoid it.

I halfway expected it but it still was weird that I really got no enjoyment from the fried foods and bread. Even though it taste great I could tell my body wasn't feeling it and I didn't get anywhere near the "high" that I might have normally got. I reeeealy have no desire for that stuff now.

I mainly just eat homemade smoothies (Im in the Krogers produce section faithfully), lite ceasar salads, chicken/salmon/steak with Mrs. Dash seasoning (little to no sauce) and nuts.

I promise all you gotta do is eat right and be active and the pounds gonna come off. Eating really is 90% of it. I dont call it being on a diet cust those don't last. Really has to be a lifestyle change. Im addicted now cus I feel great and now I'm wearing XL and M shirts. I aint worn that since HS.

The good problem I have is I cant really buy clothes at the moment since Im steady losing. My 2XL's got me looking like Dem Franchize Boys and that's a no go.

Good shyt man. I have to stay off the fried foods and away from sugar. I love bread too much to give that up. If I'm slacking I can put on 4-5 pounds in a weekend easy so I gotta stay vigilant. It's good though that you recognize what you need to do to keep being successful.

I feel ya but I had to realize to get what you haven't had you have to do what you haven't done. Lawd knows I love bread and potatoes more than any human on earth, but I love wearing XL and L shirts more now. This is the first time in my life that I've had what I call #TripleDoubleLife with is eating right, being active and controlling my weight. I've had two but never all 3 simultaneously.

Dopest part to me is I haven't even started back lifting weights at all. It's been all diet and running about1.5 mi around the neighborhood everyday. I got a super cheap gym membership but my work schedule a trip so it's been easier for me to just run outside than drive to the gym.

Luckily I always carried my weight good so I don't have that bad body that people who lose weight real quick with no workout have.

Need some advice from the more seasoned brehs/brehettes in here.

So I weighed myself in March of this year and saw that I was at the 317 range. That had me feeling some type of way, and in early June I finally got to the point where I decided I needed to do something and got after it.

Since I started giving a shyt about my weight, I'm down about 26 pounds. Almost all of this has happened since June, using predominantly portion control (downing 1600-1900 calories on average), exchanging more grilled stuff in place of fried, and drastically cutting back on sodas while increasing water intake.

Now, I'm looking to do something to jump-start more loss as I have plateaued. The only sort of exercise I've been doing is basically power walking and shyt, and it has helped a lot but per the advice of my brother as well as others (coupled with research that support their suggestions), I need to start adding weight-lifting or more muscle-building exercises to the routine.

Thing is, I've literally never touched a weight in my life and wouldn't know where to start. I have access to dumbbells (50 pounds and below) but that's mostly it. Any advice would be helpful. I probably wouldn't join a gym because travel is required for work and most of what I do is accomplished after everybody else's quitting time. But I do want to take advantage of the things offered to me.

Goal weight is 230-240, but best-case scenario is in the 220s.

All right, I've been on SOHH/The Coli since I was 14 and never posted a pic, but here it goes..

Spoiler

This a before/after. Unlike the majority of folks, my body goals are to gain weight, I don't wanna be a tall skinny dude for the rest of my life

I'm 160lbs on the left, 183 on the right. Took about 2 years. My chest has been and will continue to be my focus, I have a gap between my pecs (genetics ) I have to make up for. The goal is 190 by the end of the year. High weight, low reps all day .



..and I ain't buying a new bathing suit either

Update: Bought a new bathing suit.

Floating between 188-190, mostly muscle growth. 6 pix is losing visibility which sucks. Will try to cut if I can make it to 200.
