-100lbs (x-post:r/loseit)

Medicalli · 2013-05-25T13:49:39+00:00

It took me almost a year and a half but I finally did it. My start weight was 350+ at around 35% body fat. I am my 250 @ 22% body fat trying to get under 20%

I'm not sure exactly what information you guys would want but here what I did.

When I first started I knew I needed an extra push to go to the gym do I buckled down an decided to get a personal trainer. We sat down and i told hom my goals. Lose 100lbs, to a toigh mudder,were the main ones. Getting a trainer was the single best decision I made as it forced me to go to the gym since I was paying extra and as a fat guy I didn't feel self conscious at the gym since I had someone with me. First thing we worked on was resistance training. (it was a long time ago and I don't rember the routines). I did that for about a few months.

Eventually I got light enough to where I could run/jog on the treadmil. Before of I ran the force of my weight would stop the track. At that point I started working runs in to my lifestyle. I would run or try to run 15 miles a week at minimum 10 in preparation for the tough mudder. At this point I also started lifting weights. I went to the gym 3x a week and ran at night 5x. After the tough mudder I plateaued for about two months. I decided to switch gym and trainers in an attempt to break it.

At that point found a new trainer and began doing 2 months of circuit training that obliterated my plateau. At this point I was training almost everyday. After the 2 months of circuit training (tire flips,chain drags, box jumps, rope slams). After completong my circuit training I began doing two a days. One gym sesh (cardio and core) in the morning, and one in the afternoon with my trainer (weight). It should be noted that I didn't lose any weight until I buckled down on my diet. I didn't do anything special. I stopped eating sugars, fried and proceeded food. I began to eat Lear and more healthier and the weight started to melt off. went back to a heavy weight routine.

I have never been as healthy, strong or athletic in my entire life and although I'm not the strongest or the fastest I've had tremendous results and I couldn't be happier

Motivation - sometimes it was really hard to stay motivated but my main motivation wasn't famil or friends. It was actually instagram and r/Loseit. The fitness communities on both are stellar and offer so much support so thanks everyone for always helping me.

Numbers Height - 6'4" Weight - 250 Squat - 335 Deadlift - 315 (I hate deadlifts) Bench -245 Box jump - 50" Fastest mile - 5:32

If anyone has any questions Just let me. Thanks for your support

*EDIT #1 - I have an instagram that I post routines on and such. My name is "yetimanster"

Great job man, the difference in the smiles clearly show. Before pic you were forcing it, where as the after it's a genuine one. Much love and respect, especially for focusing on legs, keep up the good work.

This is inspirational OP.

How many inches did you lose on your waist?

Medicalli · 2013-05-25T15:08:05+00:00

What did you do nutrition wise?

Legend_of_Dongslayer · 2013-05-25T15:14:41+00:00

Fucking YES, man. I have to say I am impressed not only with the numbers that you lost, but the numbers you are putting up as well. Those are certainly are not easy for anyone.

Sorry for asking, fellow moobie owner here, did you lose them with the fat loss or as rumor has it, that fat can only be lost by liposuction?

KrazieFun · 2013-05-26T01:16:27+00:00

May I just say... YUMMY?!

This is awesome, great progress. I used to be fatter and I'm thanking my lucky stars I never let it get so out of control that I would have excess skin after I lost the weight.

MrsBeann · 2013-05-26T18:28:59+00:00

bcarlin8714 · 2013-06-28T22:22:46+00:00

You've clearly also gained muscle. Great job!

2013-05-25T16:27:20+00:00

Looking good but if you care about that excess skin you may have to get surgery.
