Unfortunately, I did not take a picture for July 2010. I can say that on July 10th I weighed 229lbs.

So this picture is instead of me in August at 219lbs

I had, following my run, signed up for my university's gym (free) and began to go and do cardio everyday (treadmill/exercise bike). I rarely would use machines for some basic lifting.

>Be patient, I'm typing this as I go!

By september, I felt like a regular to my uni's gym. I was going everyday, and I felt pretty knowledgeable (I wasnt). I began to lift more and more - again using ONLY machines. I continued to do cardio but in lesser ammounts. My time in the gym bumped up to an hour a day.

I should note: I never took a rest day unless I was sick.

October remained much the same as September. At first it was weird occupying the gym with so many other students - as the summer showed me an empty gym with usually only 2-3 other people. Now I had to deal with lots of people - though only the cardio machines were ever completely full.

I weighed 198.2 in october

>the filenames say my approximate weight at the time of the photo

Cool stickers, stick it to the man.

November. I began to use dumbbells for various exercises. I created my first 'routine' which I have basically stuck to ever since. The routine saw me doing my first ever Abdominal exercise.

Pull day
Core day
Push day
Leg day
Repeat

Still no resting!

During all this time I was getting a lot of my nutrition from protein bars/shakes and chicken. I rarely went over 1800 calories and I NEVER accepted sweets/treats/snacks at a party, club meeting, etc. I was fucking dedicated! I also was eating every 3-4 hours (still do usually).

At this time i began using myfitnesspal.com

CONGRATZ ON YOUR PROGRESS, KEEP IT UP ANON.

ALSO, HAPPY EARLY BDAY.

>MFW I RELATE 100% TO YOU LAST YEAR.

more you cunt

December saw little new changes in routine/diet.

Fall semester came to a close, and for the first time since middle school I got good grades (im intelligent - but I never did homework or projects in highschool). The dedication to the gym translated to dedication to my work!

>For those commenting - wait till I post march/june ;)

great job, now do a couple of test/clen cycles and you'll be a god

>>7807518
Woops! 175 december

Holy shit OP. You are my inspiration.

Im gonna go faster since people are commenting.
When I got back from winter break my professors noticed my weightloss for the first time. While I had lost a lot of weight between September 1st and December 11th, no one noticed since I was there EVERYDAY.

10lbs over break? FREAKOUT!

Same stuff - different month!
158lbs in February

great work, if you continue like this you'll soon see some big changes on your hip and stomach area

OP is a sick cunt and the rest of you should take note of that shit. Keep it up mate.

My lightest weight. Having started at 245.6lbs on June 9th 2010, on March10th 2011 I weighed 153.6lbs - 93lbs lost.

2 days later I went on spring break and cheated CONSTANTLY but I continued lifting. From this point forward I allowed myself to cheat and began to lift heavier. I also lowered my reliance on machines and upped my reliance on freeweights.

>core day

How about you do a routine that isn't shit and made up by you

>>7807527
>mfw my body looks a lot like yours at the same weight.

scary and feels bad man

Brah, this is awesome

>>7807578
How about you suck my dick? Also Im doing starting aesthetics beginning monday. Though I will continue to have a core day. Fucking abs motherfucker.

This is april at 157lbs

Requesting preemptive archive to preserve OPs transformation for future generations.

>>7807590
>starting aesthetics
What is this?

Who is this badass /fit/??? hes my new goal body... slightly homo... also what do yall think he does for chest... looks real powerful and solid yet aesthetic as fuck!

May 2011 at about 161lbs.
Note, by now I had stopped using machines almost entirely (though occasional lever plated shit works its way in). Everything became free-weights and I stopped doing cardio unless needed.

>Only started squats in April
>Still don't deadlift
>Fucking love me some oats

>>7807578
His routine seems to be doing him good, regardless of your disapproval.

Happy almost birthday MF!

Awesome job bro, keep it up.

I'm pretty proud of dropping from 215 down to 150, but you've done even more than that.

Brofist to you.

>>7807578
dude fuck off seriously, you are cancer. Also amazing progress OP

congrats OP, you look great!

>>7807351
>>7807617

gnice bro

Nice work, no lose skin which is great. Time to start eating and lifting and get dem aesthetics.

>>7807617
>>7807351
>my face when I realize how much your face improved by losing weight

Here you go guys.

One years worth of /fit/ness.
Im finally gonna start a real routine on monday (im sick right now and Im not gonna try deadlifting this weekend) with a lean bulk (2800 calories mostly veggies, chicken, steak, etc). Im gonna go back to running everyday so that my heart health will get better.

Thanks for the help youve given me these past few months /fit/ Fuck you to all the fags who whined about having a core day, or not following their diet advice, or not doing starting stregnth. I turned out just fucking fine.

June ninth, 2011 - 161lbs
June ninth, 2010 - 246lbs

This thread makes me laugh at trucrypts progress pics.

>>7807662

Start super-setting.

>>7807662
>>7807662
how'd you lose the weight??

>>7807679

By getting off his ass and doing something, you fat prick.

>>7807351
>>7807662

DUDE YOUR DICK IS HUGE NOW. THIS IS WHY WE GET /FIT/ TO GROW OUR DICKS!

but seriously did you notice more exposed dick as you lost weight

Just another picture I had lying around. I have plenty of random pics, some showing abs, other with clothes. I just like this one alot. Took it may 9th at 162lbs

hey OP can you describe the feeling of such an amazing change and in particular people's reaction?

Thank you for sharing your story. You're a real inspiration to me. You seem like a real cool dude.

>>7807689
>>7807689
ok? i meant like what program did he use, SS 5x5 running etc.
you're an asshole

>>7807709
maybe read the posts? fucking hell...

son, I am impress

motivates me to stop being such a lazy bitch, I've been at this for a year and im still fat

>>7807709

Do you even lift?

>>7807691
op, i am most certainly mirin', nice job.

I'm about 8.5 months in, now I'm starting to bulk...

good luck to you bro

>>7807693
Do you get pissed when chicks hit on you now, or do you welcome it?

>>7807691
Trim your eyebrows and please do some god damned compounds.

>>7807662
Holy shit you look amazing. I've known people who have been training for years and started off in much better shape than you who don't look like that.

Congrats dude. Fantastic work.

>>7807690
Was kinda rocking a semi at the time lol

Urmm, interestingly the first few months my libido dropped a lot. Bloodflow to the south has definetly increased. Lately Ive been eating a lot more fats, which supposedly make your libidio increase, so I kinda fap more than I did the rest of the past year. But yeah, slight increase in size as fat as moved away from the groin.

>>7807693
People are freaking blown away. Ive become a different person. I used to suffer from serious suicidal depression. Now Im an outgoing, social, happy guy. Im still kinda beta - have a lot of trouble with girls still lol. But people overall react pretty intensly.
I have one friend who I last saw june 11th of 2010 and he is fat as fatass (like i was) so im hoping to motivate him when i see him.

>>7807715
>>7807715
>>7807715
why are you such a cocksucker
wahh WAHHHH i don't want you posting on my /fit/ faggot prick god im so butthurt
wtf is wrong with ppl on this board

>I jelly
Doing the same, though not as intense. 6'1 and 87kg's last october. Currently at 6'1 and 72kgs, aiming to loose some more and build aestetics.
So hitting the airforce this summer, so gonna get fit brahs

>>7807731
>summermad

>>7807577
Congratulations!! What was your diet, bro?

dude, mad fucking props. good on ya lad. also: i love the beatles too.

Also: Tits for you. You deserve them.

ever have a problem with loose skin?

>>7807724
I welcome it, but its still kinda rare. Still lacking confidence with women, but that is improving slowly.
>>7807726
I like my eyebrows :(
And I wanna do compounds and Im working my way to them. Again im gonna do starting aesthetics this summer, and as soon as Ive built enough strength I will begin to work on stuff like power cleans etc.

>>7807731
OMG I NO RITE?!
Piss off you fat fuck.


Well done OP you're a champ.

>>7807731
if you look at his posts you'll notice he posted what he was doing to lose the weight. its not fucking hard to read. i never said don't post i said read and you'll find what you want. do you need to be spoonfed like this constantly?

did your dick get bigger? How did you combat loose skin? congrats jelly fatty here

>>7807691
You got me, I'm jelly.

>mfw I wish I had them abs

nice progress

10/10 op
10 out of motherfucking 10
very very nice progress, you should be very proud of yourself, and you definately deserve some pussy for this kind of transformation. If there's any trolls in this thread, do disregard them. Haters gon hate nom sayin?

still though, good job

You've made me feel fat now OP. Thank you.

>>7807762
You'll notice in some of the late pics I have a 'fat pouch' under my abs. Its covering my lower abs and therefore 8 pack. Im about 10% bfp so I wonder if i lost the weight if it would be loose skin or not. As Ive put on muscle (especially on my hamstrings) the little bits of hanging flab/skin tightened up. I do still have stretchmarks and that sucks but they have lightened up a bit.
>Pic is of me at the same place 13 months apart. The photo on the right was a terrible photo, but serves as a great comparison.

nice work man. I'll probably never be ottermode. but I'll try. I jelly.

Amazing transformation OP congrats brah.

Well done OP, very motivating to see such progress.

Start with some starting-strength stuff... really just focus on getting form down - as long as you put in the effort you'll noob gains will show nicely..... 2 months or so in once you plateau, switch to a hypertrophy split.... I'm a fan of:

http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routin
e-updated-2011.html

And as far as girls - the trick is to just talk, about anything it really doesn't matter... I once approached a girl at a party and told her "I'm bored, entertain me" and it worked, so as long as you have a cool personality to go with that non-fatass fatass body then you have no need to worry.

Good job and good luck

>>7807821
clothes choice makes a lot of difference, doesn't it? You look good with or without shirt on, but nice job.

You going to bulk soon, or maintain for a bit?
>summerabs
>success

Well done OP you've turned yourself around

How much do you bench/ohp

how many chins and dips?

>>7807821

Hey dude.

I'm 5'11 too. I weigh 203 lbs approx. at the moment.
I was worried about my stretch marks and saggy skin from losing weight. But you've shown me how it can turn out.
You are now my inspiration.

Well done and hope you keep it up and make it to your goal.

>>7807841
>>7807875
Having always been on a cut im quite weak. This is why I will be doing starting aesthetics on a lean bulk for the summer. Since mid-may Ive continued to lift frequently but with rest days every 2 days. Ive also lowered the ammount of sets i do and upped the weights.

In the past I would do a lot of exercises. I mean A LOT. And Id do a lot of sets, all to 15 for them. While it helped with weight loss and endurance it was never going to make me stronger.

On my new routine i will likely be taking creatine. Inb4 shitstorm...

>>7807928
>On my new routine i will likely be taking creatine

The fuck?

Why would you ruin such good progress?

>>7807928

DID YOU GAIN MORE DICK!?!?!!??

>>7807928
anyone who shit storms you for creatine is butthurt. goodluck on the muscle gain/aesthetics, keep up the monthly pics and keep us posted. good thread mate.

OOPS just realized march was messed up on the side shot which was the same as the one for february. I fixed it
<-----

OP, you magnificent bastard. Great work. Keep it up.

>>7807928

Why would anyone giving you a shit storm for not being a fucking faggot only caring about abs?

It's time to bulk son. I know many men who'd destroy your fragile womanly body with a single blow.

Other than that, great work losing all that flab.

Amazing progress man, congrats on your results ;)

>>7807961
>>7807985
My views exactly. Far too scrawny now.
I have a year to get huge. Next year, June 9th 2012, I will have professional photos done to truly show my progress. I would have done that today, but (1) Im not as cut as I could be (2) If I was that cut I would be a fucking scrawny bitch.

Captcha: ropeclec influenzae
MFW I have something like the flu right now

I WANNA GET IN ON THIS ACTION.

>BULK

>>7808027

>CUT

>>7808041
Your point is?

OP > you

>>7808085

I'm not competing with OP - OP is doing an awesome job. I just wanna get in on the progress action.

Stop being a faggot.

>>7807351
hey fish, has your penis size increase drastically?
The last response was quite vague

how much did cardio contribute to your weight loss? were you running 5 days a week during this?

incredible how much your face changed

>>7807726
I have prominent eyebrows also. They are FTW, don't trim them and keep up the good work. Shame I don't have any progress pics but I was once like 220 and I am now down to 180. Keep up the good work.

pic related, me 'mirin

HEY OP

YOU'RE A[spoiler]WESOME[/spoiler]

>>7808085
>>7807351

samefag.

>>7808127
In the beggining it was strictly cardio. I was in the gym roughly 20-30 minutes and I would be jogging. In february I jogged 10 minutes every day. Now I do cardio when I feel like it, but thats pretty fucking rare. After I ran my fastest mile ever (6:28 - compared to my fastest in highscool of 7:46 and normally around 8/9) I basically started running on occasion.

I fucking hate cardio, its so boring.

>>7808124
Penis remains roughly the same size, though it looks bigger when flacid as there is less flab, and erections sometimes feel more firm as there is increased blood flow. Id say Ive gained maybe half an inch total, but that was always there if i pressed against the flab covering my pelvis.


>Im watching Dexter right now, but will continue to answer questions and check the thread if i see notifications of posts. I can also post more pics if desired. Let me know!

ALSO a good piece of advice to those just starting in roughly the same place...take a photo EVERY DAY. I wish I had taken a photo every day for the first 8 months (even just of my face) so i could make a time lapse of my progress and watch as my face/body slowly shrank. Oh well.

>>7808207
>>7808207
really cool man thanks for sharing. i snapped out if it like you did and i finally started going to the gym and eating better. i started in february and at first i had very little time and was only running 3 days a week up until about a month ago but now i'm lifting and doing cardio and im down 20 lbs from 233.. i hope i get to see progress as amazing as yours was.

What really amazes me is that you went from having an ugly face to an attractive one, no homo. Didn't think that was even possible.

>>7808358
Th-thanks?

>Couple weeks ago

>>7808358
Agree, he looks much less sad/depressed/beta now.

>>7808517
crazy what smiling does eh?

>>7808521
>>7808517
I smiled back then too. But it was often forced. And it almost always looked bad because of the fat on my face.

What's your routine, OP?

>>7808636
>>7808636
this.. what were you doing that first 6 months.. that fat shedded off of you pretty damn fast

Your face went from a 4/10 to a 8/10 easy.

No homo

>>7808656
>>7808636
Re-read the thread.
I was doing cardio daily, and began using machines daily. I eventually did a routine of pull, core, push, legs. No rest days. Cardio never exceeded 25 minutes of jogging, but somedays id jog, walk, jog, walk etc.

amazing job dude!

>mfw I see the final progress pictures

>>7808770
>>7808727
Thanks.
Just put this together. Going to dinner soon to celebrate with the family.

>>7808851
Bumping so I can track thread on my phone.

Hey OP,
What clothing size did you wear before and what size do you wear now?

>>7808851
damn, you look 100x better! good shit, bro!

>>7808984
Shirt Extra Large -> Small
Extra large used to be a little loose on me though, smalls fit pretty snuggly depending on style. Hope to be ripping through a medium by end of the year.

Jeans: Size 42 waist -> 30 waist
Though I sometimes wear a 28...but those are tight on my thighs.

>mfw Progress threads

Hell yeah, motherfucker. Nice work, OP! Good to see people making such huge changes in their lives. I started at the opposite spectrum from you, I was a lanky-ass motherfucker. Currently bulking up from 190cm and 56kg to 68kg. Threads like these always inspire the fuck out of me to get the hell out of Ethiopian mode.

>>7809033
what were your main motivations?

>>7809233
Well when I first went on a run at 3am it was because at the time I was somewhat nocturnal. I had restless legs that night (due likely to the $12 worth of McDonalds I ate earlier)

For a little while (june/july) my motivation was this girl I though I was in love with. Then when I finally realized what a little bitch I had always been around her (beta as fuck) I decided I would never want to have to work for a woman again. I wanted to be healthy and wanted to look good enough that women would want me.

I never though I would get to a six pack.

Ironically, my best friend (who also lifts) gave me Optimum nutrition whey (2lbs) and the book 'The Abs Diet' for my birthday last year as a show of support for my effort - I had told him the day after I started going to the gym I wanted to lose "some" weight. I never expected to be below 200lbs.

But as I grew thinner and began to feel more healthy (walking up stairs and not being winded) my motivation for healthy living grew. Around march it got to the point where I could 'mire myself in the mirror - that alone was the most motivating thing in the world.


FUCK YES UPS IS OUTSIDE WITH MY BODYBUILDING.COM ORDER BRB

>>7809316
>>7809316
how'd you end up with the chick? what did she say to you after she saw you?

>>7809316
It must be nice to have friends.

>>7809340
We were good friends last year. Then she insisted we make out - first kiss. Hooked up a few times. Feel for her like a beta. She was a cunt. I realized that.

Saw her in August. Have not talked to her or seen her since. I've ignored every attempt she has made to contact me. Alpha as fuck.

Treated myself to a ton of supps in celebration.

Some of this stuff is probably not needed. Several items (promax bar, speedsho, cup, superpump) were free gifts/samples.

Spoiled myself and im happy about it.

Hey OP,

This Fat Acceptance blog I know told me that diet and exercise don't work, and that you're doomed just to go back to the "before" condition.

Also, if you don't, it's because of freakishly lucky genes, not because of discipline and smart lifestyle choices about nutrition and exercise.

What do you think about that? Nobody else should bother trying what you did, because it's impossible, right?

Also, you probably feel miserable all the time, because you're not at your natural 245 weight, right?

>>7808851
Awesome job OP, you look like a completely different person! Real inspiration

>>7809447
>>7809447
Mad props OP
Jelly as fuck

One question though
how is your skin?
You lost all that fat, so is it extremely loose?
im only asking because I lost about 60 lbs over last summer and my and by the end of it i looked like my skin was baggy. But it doesnt look like it is loose on you

mfw you dont look like a plastic bag

also good gains op

OP is my new hero. God I love it when someone delivers.

>Awesome Mode: No Beetles picture

>>7809497
:D Yup totally miserable. And look! Im 161 now but was 153...must be making my way back to my natural weight!

>>7809675
Still love The Beatles but I also listen to different music now (lots of electronic in the gym). More importantly: I dont need shit covering my walls. Still have some Beatles stuff out though

>>7807351
I was going to rest today until I saw these pictures, no I'm just going to go do cardio.

Thanks OP.
grats, you earned this.

PROTIP: Watch old comedians you like, I prefer Benny Hill. Straight up steal their style of humor or even their jokes, nobody will ever know and it will help you become more quick witted in the long run, and being quick witted is awesome, especially if you're a good looking dude, you'll pull so much pussy by just being somewhere.

>>7807351

Does anyone else find it fucking hysterical that this douche has the same face as his Beatles poster in the background?

>>7809789
how about you fuck your own anus with a fork you uneducated nigger

dude you look so happy now!

good job bro.

also in the first pic you seem to have some nast arm acne shit going on - did that clear up with diet?

Game over OP.
You won.

I'm coming up too, needed that kind of motivation. thanks.

>>7809843
I used to (for years) pick my skin. Id make small black heads into giant pock marks in my skin. Id pick until it bled. They are scars. The marks are still there but have faded to a degree.

OP you should check this out: redd.it/hvzte

Impressive.
Nice job.

>>7807351
What is / was your diet , OP?

>>7808851

>>7807662
Great job man, you look fantastic!

I remember yesterday reading a thread and you posted a progress pic and you said you were gonna make this thread today. Anyway, just wanted to say, keep up the good work! You look great by the way, just as a nice confidence boost (not gay, but I know when people look good).

Mad props, you excellent motherfucker.

>>7810086
A lot of people have mentiomed this. I cant say for sure if I was unhappy at the time I took that photo. I can definetly say i was much less happy on average last june as compare to this june. Also look at this captcha - i lold

Also, lol'd hard @ core day.

>>7810216
Not really. Most of my friends are super supportive. Most of them are in alright shape (a few lift).

Ive made a few other people begin lifting too.

don't worry OP you didn't a great job and keep up the work this nigga is just jelly.

OP, you inspire and motivate me! Congrats, and keep it up! I hope I have an awesome success story in a year as great as yours! Hell, I hope I have one in about three months or so; I'm still worried I'll relapse since I live with fat ass fatties that don't want to try and change or even support me.

>"Fresh greens are just too expensive, go get something off the dollar menu."

Thanks, mom.

>>7810290
Awesome. My 'friends' were too insecure to deal with my transformation from fat blob to skinny rail and now heading towards muscular.

I'm somewhat alone, but I'd rather be fit and a lone wolf, than be fat and not realize that all my friends are insecure beta bitches.

looking damn good op

The only part of this that makes me sad is even if I pull off a transformation like OP I'm still hairy as fuck.

>>7810489
shave motherfucker

Still try for the best!

>>7810489

THREADS LIKE THIS ARE WHY I COME TO FIT

FUCKIN BROFIST, OP

Nice work, OP.

Seeing a transformation like that, I'm totally reassured that I can do this shit too.

Soon-to-be-former-fatass

I spy xbox controllers. Did you game while you were losing the weight? I want to know if it's possible to balance out gaming and lifting.

Props OP.

Let's archive this for future motivation.

fantastic job OP

really motivating

OMG i forgot

In February I applied for a position as an intern at my gym.
There were 120 applicants and 20 intervews.
I got interviewed and then went on spring break sure i didnt get the posistion (only one spot).

During the interview I basically explained how much I love my uni's gym and how Id love to work for it. I had thought the position was to work behind the front desk - turns out it was to manage the website and the employees.

Well, when i got back from break I was working out and my new boss pulled me aside to tell me I got the job.

I now work in my own gym.

>>7810598
What are you, a fucking retard?

I was playing high level video games most of the day and still made time to lift weights.
You can't fucking play video games all day, even if you're a pro/amature gamer, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Quit jumping around Dalaran for 30 minutes to 1 hour a day or whatever shithole game you play and just go work out, then come back and play some more.

>>7810598
Still do but not anywhere near the ammount I used to.

I do smoke a lot of weed though. Managing munchies is a bitch.

Dinner just came!

>>7810625
I would be honored :D

holy shit

motivation overload man.

you mind if i save your pics and show em to some fat buddies of mine? i've been wanting to get some of them to the gym.

also congrats on your transformation

What did you do to get rid of your stretch marks?

>>7810946
Well I posted them so go for it I guess

I love motivating people to get /fit/! It changed me in so many ways - knowing I can make a difference in someone's life is powerful.

>>7811005
They're still there. I used coconut oil made for stretchmarks and mederma on occasion. Theyve faded -but they are still a reminder of my fatassness

>>7811084
just think of them as battle scars but i doubt you really care about them that much seeing how far you've come.

I dont get it, your belly has no fucking loose skin, how is that possible. I have this flap on my stomach, and you dont. your fat pictures clearly show that you have a flap too. whathtefuck im so mad

This deserves an archive request: No wait you deserve an archive request.

Just realized I forgot to buy glucosamine.
FUUUUUUUU

I have bad knees and some of my other joints click too. Fuck. Never got glucosamine before but need it now...looks like Im going to vitamin shoppe tomorrow

Muscle memory. He was ripped before he got depressed in university. Anyone his age could have made this same transformation in half the time.

>>7811555
Well...no. I was fat in high school and middle school. I couldnt do a pull up EVER in my life until november. I was never strong nor was I ever in shape. I realize this was a troll post. But I figured I should clear that up.

>>7811515
Don't forget the weight gainer, boy.

>>7811515

Just buy fish oil from Costco, it's crazy cheap I bought a huge box of bottles that will last me all year for under $100

I applaud you Magnetfish.

I too have come from the darkside, with similar progress in about the same time-frame.

Only thing is that I am saying FUCK AESTHETICS and bulking at the moment. IDC about abs, I just wanna be fucking strong.

good job bro

>>7811668
Fish oil is not the same as glucosamine

Im actually anti-pescatarian. I do not eat fish or shellfish. I am not even excited to take glucosamine but I really need it. I use Flax for my Omega fats.

Do you shave or wax your chest?

DEM ABS - SO JELLY

>>7807351
I am also turning 20 on the 21st this month. Pretty weird bro.

>>7811683

True it's not the same but it works well for joint health and maintaining lean body mass. But if you don't eat a fish then fuck it I guess.

What kind of protein did you eat while you were cutting?

>>7811711
Started with ON whey and now use Gaspari Myofusion (taste is 100x better)

I also use ON casein

Baked/Grilled Chicken breast was my primary real source of protein, though other lean meats (filet mignon omg) were occasionally ingested.

I wish I ate fish. Tuna is so low in calories and high in protein :(

Dayumm OP, epic progress. You're way better looking now. Congrats!

livin the good life OP!

>>7811727

I will be checking out Gaspari Myofusion after my current Double Chocolate runs out - thanks for the tip.

why don't you eat fish?

>>7811750
Just picked up the chocolate mint but havent tried it. Strawberry was pretty good, and I enjoyed peanut butter chocolate.

Milk chocolate though...HOLY FUCK BALLS. So good. My friend swears by banana, Im not a huge fan of it, but its good.

Still have yet to try cookies n cream or vanilla.

ALSO get a shaker cup or a magic bullet for it. It does not stir well with a spoon.

>>7811764
Honestly its psychological. I gag when I try to eat it. I know its healthy and usually clean but the smell, texture, and taste - and the mental factor of knowing it is fish - just gross me out. I realize the irony with my name...

>>7811683
I can understand not eating fish, also I'm allergic to shellfish but the omega3 in flax is shittier since it is mostly ALA which only has a ca. 5% conversion rate in the body to EPA and DHA. If you don't want fish oil get some SEAL oil. EPA and DHA are the awesome omega3s

Here's my one year progress - wish it was as awesome as OP but I will get there eventually....

>>7807489

So for your split routine is it just "do whatever", or do you have specific set of exercises you are doing each day?

serious question op:


how frequently did you cheat? (parties, special occasions, bbqs, friends bdays etc etc holidays?

please be honest.. and how serious was the indulging?

>>7812121
this is a good question. also OP what did your routine look like for the 6 months with cardio and lifting?

Thanks OP
time to continue my journey.
I'll start by taking a pic of myself tomorrow and taking a new one every 11 or 12 of the month.
In 1 year I will post my results.
Remember me, I won't post with this trip until it's time to show my progress.
Th-Thanks.

>>7812121
Internet issues. I responded but it didnt post.

NEVER. I never cheated until spring break. Not once. Not even a cookie or a few chips. I was hardcore dedicated. Now I cheat all the time. But if I cheat for a few days (and go up ten pounds of water/shit weight) I cut hard for a week.

MFW Apparently this thread has been archived

>>7812540
Yep, I think all god tier progress threads like this should be archived, as an example to other fat as fatasses and etc.

>>7812540
>>7812540

>mfw when you fucking deserve it

>>7812540
You have brought joy and progress to the hellhole that is summer /fit/

nice progress

and training your abs isn't retarded

Mike, I will probably never say this again.

I'm proud of you.

>>7810719
I remembered this only because I got an email from my boss at dinner. Feels good man. He knows Ive lost a lot of weight but doesnt know how much...I think I will tell him next time I see him, since he is trying to lose 40lbs (or something like that)


>>7812709
...Thanks. Thank you for all the support. Thanks for dealing with my constant bitching. Thanks for answering all my stupid broscience questions. Thanks for keeping me motivated. Thank you Paul.
this year.

>>7811683

unless you are allergic to seafood, I'd really recommend taking fish oil

see >>7811839

>>7811839
Reccomendations? I really dont want fish oil burps. They will quickly turn into me vomiting I think. I know some fish oil capsules have a special coating...what should I buy? Im gonna finish my current flax first of course.

post your routine for first 6 months op. por favor

Mother of god OP you are one ... ugly son of a bitch

But seriously good work bro!

>>7812769
freezing the capsules eliminates the burps.

GENETICS. LEARN IT. SOME PEOPLE HAVE NICE BODIES, OTHERS DONT.

>>7812769
Get enteric coated. Basically they don't break down for a while so no fish burps, or something like that. I get no fish burps.

>>7812770
Until November I had no real routine. I did what I felt like. Would I recommend that? FUCK NO. But it worked. I was doing cardio and enough lifting (which gradually increased). I relied heavily on machines. When I got on my 'push-core-pull-legs' routine I continued using machines. I did a lot of exercises and a lot of sets. Not super recommended - but it worked.

>>7812786
Well my body used to look like shit. Now I think it looks pretty good. I think genetics play some role - but I think with enough work most people can get to look pretty damn good.

>>7812780
>>7812803
Ya Paul I remembered you telling me that. And the freezing idea sounds interesting.

OP you are truly an inspiration and I commend you, dammit

>>7812769

A high quality one, GMP certified/ preferrably pharmaceutical grade.

Enteric coated should rid you of fish burps completely.

Something like

http://www.iherb.com/Natural-Factors-Ultra-Rx-Omega-3-Enteric-Coated-Omega-3-Fish-Oil-150-Softgels/2
4529?at=0

I take mine straight as oil with a spoon and I get no burps. A good quality fish oil will not even taste like fish - it's so pure. But if you have psychological issues, it's probably not gonna help?

>>7812821
yes, but if you look closely, your chest isnt fucking pig disgusting before. you just had fat covering certain areas. some people just store fat in the worst possible areas even when they lose weight.

Posting in archived thread.

Fucking right OP! Awesome work. I'm pretty much in the same boat. Good to know the stretch-marks fade. I swear, I've got 'em in the same spots.

I'm just focusing on SS and getting all my lifts up, then I'm going to cut all the way to motherfucking hell.

This encourages me to finally cut.

Hey op.. Im 180 lbs in this pic, and I think im at 13% BF. How the fuck did u get rid of your stomach, as you can see mine is fucking hideous.

Hey guys, can we please get an archive on this? I'd do it myself but I don't know how to... I really want to motivate my bro who sits at home ALL day everyday and has gotten so obese over these past years. Btw OP, mad props man.

>>7812932
Just cut. No such thing as spot reduction. Abdominal vacuum exercises might help (I do them, not that I think they really work).

>>7812932
>>7812932
Cardio

>>7812989
>>7812975
I want to believe. You really think that stomach is lose able?

>>7812956
>>7812956
Kind /fit/izens already began the process. People need to uprate it though.

http://chanarchive.org/4chan/fit

Thanks /fit/. Between this thread and my supplements arriving today - and the fact that its my one year - today will probably be better than my birthday. Because Ill be hungover as fuck by then :)

>>7813016

Thanks bro, keep up the great work

What are youre lifting stats, OP?

>>7813016


don't drink too much or you'll ruin your gains

>yfw when you realize hearing that makes you one of us now

couldn't be prouder of you magnetfish

>>7813182
Well Ive been lurking /fit/ since about October with regularity. I know alcohol kills gains. Im fucking celebrating. Birthday / fitaniversary ? Ya im gonna cheat, ya im gonna drink, ya im gonna smoke. Just means more dedication next week.

Ive decided its much less alpha to deny yourself the satisfaction of social eating / drinking just to maintain weight. So long as you work extra heard to get back on track its fine. Doing it regularly is when it becomes a problem.

>5'11" 128 lbs, 9-12% bf
>19

I started a light routine two weeks ago based on some shit about Zyzz that was posted, but OP inspires me more now. Gonna get dem oatz now.

OP has turned himself sexyyyyyyy. seriously impressive

>>7813255
LOL thanks
>>7813219
5'11" 128 lbs, 9-12% bf
Wait...what? 130 and 5'11"...holy fuck

How did you clear up your skin?

Good fucking job bro, always nice to see a fatty man the fuck up and get his body going in the right direction.

>>7813109
This.

Genuinely interested, OP. Please share!

Amazing, dude. Amazing.

>>7813438
Low. Dont forget you cant gain strength on a cut. And Ive always been on a cut. Hence why I need to bulk.

But a good example would be dumbbell OHP 40lb dumbbells (80 total)- 8 reps , 3 sets. Low? Yes. Will it be better by the end of my summer bulk? Yes. Absolutely yes.

A the beginning of may it was only 30 each (60). Ever since I started it was always around 20 or 25 each. But by eating more in may and doing less sets and better form it grew much faster than ever before. Thats the power of dirty bulk cheat meals :)
So excited to bulk

>>7812845
This, so jelly of OP, he didn't start with manboobs. Flexing the pecs just doesn't have the same effect when there's still some fat hanging off them.

what is dogg crap training?

program example anyone?

>>7813602

It's a program built around rest-pause lifting and weighted stretches. Google it if you want to find the program laid out in detail, or logs of w/e.

anyone requested this thread to archive?

>>7812540
>>7813714

See above.

Im gonna post more pix taken today.

Thanks for everything /fit/

This thread really made today feel like a true milestone. I look forward to next year's thread :)

If ur seeing this from the archive your a faggot.

good job, man. Requesting starting aesthetics pic!

>>7813816
There is a 'bulking edition' as well but Im doing this one

>>7813777
nice grammar faggot

>dat face

Well done OP! You just made my day. Seriously, I got warm fuzzy feelings seeing the transformation from >>7807351 to>>7813741. Today was going to be rest day - now cardio day! (Also you went from underwhelming no just no to would smash in a second territory. WELL DONE.)

pic related, it's mfw I saw your most recent pic.

>>7813820
Where can I find the bulking one?

what the fuck

someone archive this shit

10/10

>>7809215
Hahah ohwow.

OP, I am crying manly tears of joy. Well done, bro!

>>7813874
I am a wizard.
>>7813017

OP your transformation is fucking awesome. I bow to you good sir.

I am truly impressed. Well done, OP! Well done! :D

Look at how happy this motherfucker got when he started shedding the fat!
LOOK AT HIM!

Fucking awesome.
OP is a heterosexual!

>mfw progress
>mfw posting ridiculous images because archive

fuck man nice work. I've been working out for a year, my diet is still bad, i had a 4 month hiatus due to injury my progress is shit compared to yours

at first i thought "my frame is bigger, he is naturally smaller" then i realized you are a lot more motivated than me, then I got jealous..then mad..then determined.

Thanks for the motivation thread bro and gl in life.

too bad exercising doesn't fix being crosseyed as fuck

>>7813954
I prefer the 99 cents value meal cheeseburgers

>>7813972
Crosseyed? LOLWut

>>7813982
magnet, can it be that your nipples are smaller now? it seems like it when looking at the pictures
i do hope soe because mine are as big as yours were at the beginning of you cutg

>>7808851

How tall are you OP?

>>7814063
read his post faggot, 5'11

>>7814049
Hmmm. I never noticed it, but comparing last June to yesterday they do appear to be smaller. Idk

Hey OP I also dropped out of uni due to depression and am on the way to redemption(gona return to uni). Are you returning/returned to uni? Also I pretty much killed all links with friends due to depression, how did you go around with friendships after depression, as I only have a couple of friends now.

so magnet... you wanna tell us you're a summerfag you actually comes back with results?
mind=blown

Mirin. All this skin re attached. Makes me hope.

one of the best progresses ever seen on fit.

>>7814087

that's pretty much me too. we should make a sisterhood of the travelling pants.

That is some good shit right there

>>7814087
I have more friends than ever. It made planning this weekend's birthday festivities quite difficult lol. I am back in the uni (hence why I will be working in the gym in the Fall and why Ive been working out in said gym since almost a year ago)

I got a 3.86 this semester. Fucking A-s. Never got grades like that in HS (never did hw or projects - always smart but lazy)

>>7814090
Well I wasnt lurking /fit/ until late last year. I used to be a huge /b/tard. Now I only lurk /fit/. I dont have as much time for 4chan. Since I feel like I have fucking AIDs right now Ive spent the day inside (obviously didnt lift).

>>7814096
But were you fat or skinny? I be skinny. From 68 - 80 kgs so far this year. Still feel small as fuck :/

>>7814108

Look like Charlie Sheen from Platoon in that picture.

>>7814114

150kg to 105kg

you are a skinny cunt, how is fit praising this? I lost 70 lbs myself and got abs, come back to me when you put on muscle, and take that fucking wife beater off, youre not big. I hate seeing faggots like you in the gym taking pictures in their wife beaters, yes, I mad, but gj losing weight anyways. Now move on to the harder part

what happened to all the extra skin!?

>>7813503
Thanks bro, just wanted to see that not lifting big e-stats that I often see on /fit/ still can reward you with a half decent body if you follow a decent diet.

>>7810580
not with your shitty genetics lol

Troll here.

I was going to insult you like mad, but then I opened up your pic and realized something...you're too pathetic to insult.

Like a drooling, stinkin' person with Down Syndrome...I don't have it in me to call them a retard. They're simply too pathetic already.

Same for you OP.

Lots of props to you Magnetfish, you look awesome.
Love anonz.

>>7814129
Nigra shut the fuck up. He's already said he's going to move onto SS. His first goal was to lose the weight. There's nothing wrong with people having different goals, or prioritizing things differently.

>>7814165

0/10 troll

>>7814194
This. Is a correct anon.

good job OP-you should do SS then the progress pics will go in reverse

just wanted to congratulate, well done OP

>>7814211

lol back to cacoon mode lol

GOOD JOB OP!!! I jelly!

Goodnight /fit/
Its 3am here. Its been a good day. :)

>>7814114
>80 kgs
>small

Only In America folks.

>>7807351
Dude this is some impressive shit. When I saw the first pic I was sure you were gonna have some loose skin by the last one, but you don't

This is what happens you stop lurking /b/ - and lurk /fit/ instead.

Fucking congrats, OP.

I've passed my 1 year mark myself, but I've still got 30~40 lbs to go. Lost 100 already.

Kudos again.

Excellent progress, OP.

>>7814127
Which Uni were you at/what were you studying?

Are you planning on going back?

404 taim

I almost teared up watching you get happier in all of those pics.

Good job man.

Well done, OP. Congratulations. I'm proud of you.

Holy fuck OP amazing work!
