(+) Yeah! (+)

Nice job man. It's definitely worth the weight

You never want to weight more than you have to.

I know its a heavy subject

lmao

oh i'm 202.8 lbs, was in the 340s. 345 when i weighed myself but i started losing way after that so i may have been more

how long have you been losing the 140lbs? that's quite a bit.

Jesus. 140lb lost is a HUGE accomplishment. Congrats man and keep it up!!

I need to find more motivation to lose weight. Im 62 and 250...and want to be under 200 again. A few years ago I weighed 170 but suffered a spinal fracture that added a lot of complication unfortunately.

Now that Im feeling better and can exercise as hard as I used to...I want to lose like 50 lbs. its hard though once you have a full time job and much less time to focus on yourself. The balance is tougher for sure.

kudos TC

yeah sometimes my schedule is packed but if i cant get to the gym i just eat less that day

Off topic, but this brought to mind the fact that other people's weights just don't compute for me. I see "under 200lbs" and I immediately think that person has a horrible disease. If I weigh under 240 or so it means I'm simultaneously dying of AIDS, a tape worm, and some sort of bone cancer. I dunno, it's just something I can't comprehend.

Either way, good on you TC. It's always a good thing to try and better yourself, and actually follow through.

Great job buddy.

It takes a lot of dedication, we are very proud of you.

But most importantly I hope you feel accomplished; keep at it. It's less about the look and more about the health benefits.

Good job

bump

Holy crap french!

Nice work dude...

Awesome tc, keep it up

Yeah, its the last 30 or so pounds that separate being slightly overweight to actually in shape for your height that are an absolute bitch to lose. You cant rush those. Not that Ive been as big you were before but Im your height and went from 220 to 150 a couple years ago. Getting to 170 wasnt that bad but the last 20 pounds took a while. I went for a long time without weighing myself (because I knew I wasnt going up) but it was slow going.
---

Well done!
Just please tell me that duck face is just you being a fool.
---

haha look what a piece of shit i used to be

facebook diving is fun

Honestly TC, you went from ugly (because super fat)

To pretty damn attractive (because not fat anymore)

Damn good work sir, keep it up!

i've waited this long. i don't mind taking my time. thanks for the advice dude, appreciate hearing it from someone who lost like that. congrats yourself

Congrats man!

That's such a drastic change in those pictures that it's hard to see it's even the same person.

Also, from your current pics I would think that you already weigh a lot less than you do. I've got a similar build where I tell people that I weigh 200lbs and they tell me to gtfo.

Nice work. What was your main exercise and/or diet change?
---

you even gonna have your hair longer again?

I'm 5'10". My company makes us do health screenings for our insurance. They told me my healthy weight was 120-140. Yeah, no. I'd have to lose essentially all my muscle mass to get that low. I'd look emaciated. My doctor said 180 is my healthy weight. I'm 224. I have a lot of natural stocky muscle structure. I feel like so much of weight estimates don't account for muscle mass at all.

180 seems decent
224 only if you lift like NFL ballers

Beast mode is 5ft11 215lbs

Eating 12 to 1500 calories and 30 minutes of intense cardio on weekdays, 1 hour of walking Saturday and Sunday

Ehhh thought about it but most likely no

The difference in my social life is insane. I actually go out and party with people now. I lost my virginity. Random people strike me up in conversation. Everyone should do this

very nice tc, proud of you and that is great progress.

@DoubleDare also lost a substantial amount of weight so he may be able to give some advice or something if you need any
