In the past month I've tacked on some intense weights exercises so I only lost about 2 lbs, looking to tone up whilst at the same time lost the last of the flab :-D

:eek2:OMgosh! Are you even the same person??? FANTASTIC JOB! Absolutely incredible, mate! Well done!

ABBA

Thanks lol

The funny thing is few people have noticed it because I lost it over 7+ months. They flip out when I show them the first pictures and tell them those were taken Jan 1st '08 :-D

Here's a face shot for good measure- I take those pics at 6:00 am and look so groggy lol :-(

That is Amazing... I weight 260 now, and have the same goal. you are a true insperation to me.

way to go! and you dont have moobs(man boobs). I heard that name so now I am addicted to using it lol You look so great. You should be so proud of yourself! even though you look mad in your photo. You should smile more:coolgleamA:

That's a huge difference!!!! Great job :)

Great job, you look like a whole different person. Lose it all through diet until just recently?

Excellent job! I've lost the same amount as you, but you did it much younger than I did! Good for you for getting your act together at such a young age!

Wow!
I just want to say that I really envy your commitment to this whole process!
I'm just starting my weight loss journey, and i really hope that mine is as successful as yours!
I can't wait to posts before and after pictures!

Fantastic work! http://209.85.48.12/9599/13/emo/good.gif
You must feel loads better, so what was your diet/excersise plan?

Hehe, I usually take those pictures in the morning, so I'm groggy and the flash makes my eyes hurt. :-(

Mostly just changing my diet yeah, but I did exercise for about 30 mins a day for 5 days out of the week. I actually didn't change up my diet that much, just changed the sedentary activities I used to do to stuff that involves moving around.

For the most part, I eat whatever I want because my BMR will allow it, but I try to get enough of everything in my diet. :-D

Lol thanks. I've actually been trying since I was around 10- I just kept going about it the wrong way (starving myself, eating no carbs, other BS diets), so to have finally found a way to lose weight and to find out that it's as simple as calorie in calorie out is a blessing. :-P

Of course it will be :-D just keep at it and take small lifestyle adjustments in your diet and exercise and you'll eventually achieve your goals!

Thanks! As I said earlier, my BMR allows for nearly anything (I'm 6' 1" and naturally muscular) so that was fairly nice. But I generally ate -500 of my BMR, and exercised for 30 minutes a day playing basketball/other cardio stuff.

I also changed up my lifestyle so I'm not sitting behind the computer/TV all day. I take my dog for walks, walk to the grocery store instead of drive, take the stairs instead of the lift etc. :-D

hey you did gr8t really a difference!

MEN HAVE IT SOOOOO EASY D:<
gratsss :D

Oh WOW - outstanding!! Keep it going.... you're amazing.

WOW, SUPER JOB! You look great young man!
