My Final Before and After

[dmw16]

Well, I finally have some good after pictures of me so I figured I'd share with everyone.

PICS

I started @ 290. THose photos were from August (so a little over a year). I down to about 190 and then started lifting harder and doing the protein shake thing. I am about 198 right now.

[JM Aggie08]

very nice.

what plan did you follow?

 

[PhoenixOrion]

how big of a change are we talking about in regards to your diet and food choices?

 

[KarenMarie]

Wow... congrats. you are a real cutie.

I would not dare post my before/intermediate pics here... I am a coward.

Good on you though. You did great!

no plan as such. i read the south beach and atkins books. I did cut out sugar (duh) and switched to whole wheat pasta and brown rice. But really it was just a major shift in my choices of food and serving sizes. I also started hitting the gym 4 days a week (at least).

thanks for the compliments. I had thought about trying to lose more, but I think Ive hit a good point for my body to be at. According to the BMI I should be about 180, but I dont think I'd look healthy.

as for excercises. I started with mostly cardio (cross trainer, treadmill) then started doing more weight training as I started loosing more fat.

Did you drink soft drinks prior to your diet?

Congratulations and hopefully this will be a permanent lifestyle change

Congrats :thumbsup:

My mate has dropped 55lbs in @ 5months. He started to train properly again and not eat just BS (2l bottles of cokes, boxes of popsickles, double burger king meals...just general crap). He does no CV also , you don't need it if you do weights and eat properly but it would help if he could be bothered.

You are the man, man!

Did you get the girl before, or after?

 

[ballmode]

Nice job, now tell your girl! SNAP SNAP

 

[dmw16]

Ive had the girl for over 5 years. She was really good about my weight before, but I am glad I did what I did because she deserves it.

And about the soda, yeah, I used to drink A LOT of soda.
