Nice job dude. Keep it up, cause 15% body fat wont be good enough, you'll want to get down to 7% to get that 8-pack!

I lost 40 pounds in the past 10 weeks, and I have about 25-35 to go, depending on my bodyfat. I can't measure it until i go back to school, but I'm sure i'm in the low 20's now.

40 pounds in 3 1/2 months. 4 lbs a week = 14,000 less calories a week! Just think about it. That is a lot of cutting back!

Yeah man, it's all protien and carbs only post workout. Also take a couple supplements, but it's most hard work on the diet and harder work in the gym. I've always been strong, just a little chunky. But now I just want to be chisled like a rock, and stronger than ever! I can't wait for the next few weeks.

seeing as you won't weigh 390lbs anymore, you should consider changing your nick here.

Congrats on the loss, most people can't manage it.

I hear ya.

2 months in the gym and I'm getting in shape fast. Lost 12 lbs which is half way to my goal.

My body has all ready started taking muscle shape along with my stomach. I have a lot of lean weight mass, so @ 190 lbs 6'1 tall I'm a skinny guy.

Nice job, and congrats! Throwing some leg workouts into your lifting sessions might help you out as well and will ensure that you are properly proportioned as you get closer to your target weight. Just something to throw around, I'm no expert.

The other day some guys here were saying that if you don't do leg work your testosterone levels don't get as high.... Not sure if that is true either....

IN ANY CASE, again, my hat goes off to you.

Actually, I already have HUGE legs! That is where I have most of my muscle. It's not easy to carry around 380lbs for years... your legs have to be able to withstand the weight and therefore build large muscle to support the weight. You should see my calves.

Ohhh and it's rock hard when I flex it, so it ain't fat.

Same here, my calves are giant. I'm currently around 235 or so and I'm slowly taking it off, I'd like to be about 200 or so.

I have to say congrats. It is not easy to do what you have done, no matter what ANYONE says. You seem like you are very happy. I wish you well.


Now if i could just figure out the secret to getting rid of these dam man breasts.........

pork fat with peanut butter?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the encouragement! I'll report back when I've lost another 70lbs and see how I feel then.
