Way to go, man. That is a phenomenal achievement. You’ve ever right to be proud.This is my "before and after" for building muscle. In actuality, this is my "after and after" as the photo on the left is me after losing weight (324lbs to 160lbs) and the one on the right is 3 years after that one gaining 30 lbs of muscle.
I'm incredible proud of losing all the weight but I am equally as proud of gaining the muscle as I did so naturally and found a newfound love of weight lifting. I have gained 20 lbs more since the photo on the right.

You’re killing it, studThis is my "before and after" for building muscle. In actuality, this is my "after and after" as the photo on the left is me after losing weight (324lbs to 160lbs) and the one on the right is 3 years after that one gaining 30 lbs of muscle.

WOW, I love how you're doing your progress, nice and steady. I'm so happy for you and I hope your new found life is all you've been hoping for and then some. Kudos to doing it while a pandemic is all around you, your strength and focus is great, man.I’m going through my transformation now. I started at 221.5 lbs and am currently 158.4. My goals right now to lose fat and to add to my muscle mass, since I only have 127 lbs of muscle right now.
@heyitsfocker You’re transformation is extremely motivational to me. Your change is amazing!
Awesome progress, man. Keep the efforts going.This took several years. I'm a hardgainer.

Now you're in a great shape bro!Me! My gallery is proof so are the stretch marks
I understand. In the process of loss. Started at 268 late last year and hovering at 200 and have plateaued for past month. Goal is 190-195 and really want 185. Down from 52 portly jacket to a 46 tailored, from 48 pant to 38, 18.5 neck shirt or 2xl big to 16 neck and L/XL shirt or t-shirt depending on cut. Actually playing racquetball regularly and surprised and how much stamina I have back. Feel better than I have in 30 years.About 10 years ago I weighed in at about 265lbs. Don't really have any photos from back then, avoided the camera when I could. Got my butt into the gym and tracked what I ate. My weight fluctuates a little bit but I'm currently at 184. Used to wear 2XL shirts and now I wear Large. Size 40 jeans and down to size 32. I've come a long way, and while I still have some body issues (loose skin/overhang around my belly), I definitely wouldn't go back to the way I used to be. I'm my own worst enemy, so sometimes I get really down about the loose skin thing, trying to work around it when I wear certain clothes and things, but it's a small price to pay for the years of not taking care of myself.
That's great, man! The energy you get from not lugging around so much weight is astounding. It made me realize how miserable I was when I was heavy and didn't know it at the time.I understand.

Has anyone ever gone from terrible shape to great shape?
If so, would you share your stories, and perhaps your photos?
We see promises from countless entities selling workout plans, diet plans, pills, etc, but it would be great to hear directly from people who aren't part of a company's advertising agenda.
This is really awesome, thanks for posting, good job there. Also as i reported above, i did see, as you can see in your pics, a larger penis, once the fat had gone. cheersGrowing up and through college, I was a skinny rail of a kid. Once I graduated and got my first real adult job, my body got hit hard. 10 hours a day desk job, really cheap soda and vending machines (easily downing 4 liters of Coca-cola a day), fast food for dinner. After 10 years of that, my body wasn't in great shape. I'm 5'10" and was 200 pounds with zero muscle on my body. After getting laid off, I decided I needed something to keep me busy and doing something while filling out resumes and interviewing so I started jogging.
After a couple of years of that (and returning to gainful employment), I started going to the gym. For the first couple of years, I worked with a trainer weekly and then on my own. I quickly dropped from 200 pounds to 165 pounds. Since then, I've been slowly building muscle and working to lean myself up over time. Peaked for weight again at about 195 a few months ago, rededicated myself to diet and exercise and am at 183 and continuing to build and trim.
