    So in 4 months, what are your stats compared to when you started? Measurements? Weight? What was your lifting plan?

    would still like to know this ^

    Sorry. My waist went down from 32 inches to 28. I dropped to 70kg, I'm 1.75m long so not that tall. I did a full weights workout twice a week and cardio 3-4 times a week. Sometimes I do cardio twice a day

    Is this a typo? You dropped 70 kg in four months? Those pics don't look like a 70 kg difference.

    Nice work. You sound very pleased with your results.

    Not so much of a typo but more of a misread on your part ;)

    Got it! I'm apparently a little slow on the uptake without my caffeine. I shall remedy that situation and then return :smiley:

    Nice transformation. I'd need to drop another 60lbs or so to get those kinds of results so maybe eventually. But they are definitely inspirational pics. Thanks for sharing. Don't be hesitant to post more. Im sure you will motivate a lot of MFP users.

    ihab90...thanks for posting. Impressive Mate! Also appreciate the info on your workouts. I recently completed a bulk, somewhat dirty, and now am paying the price for getting back down. From your success, it appears I need to do more cardio and less weights. Anyway...Nice job!

    Unfortunately, that's what happens when bulking especially dirty bulking. It comes back to what you eat too. I'm trying to gain weight at the moment so I am bulking but again dirty bulk

    I disagree with that. I've continually seen people "dirty" bulk and end up with amazing results both in physique and strength.

    Nice work, doing cardio twice a day makes this very much believable. I don't think I could do cardio twice a day way too much work but congrats.

    Actually, it's probably not jealousy but rather that it isn't uncommon for people to troll and use pictures of fitness models, etc as their afters (and they do so by leaving out the head of the body). And yes, it happens that often - whether it's a supposed brag thread, humble brag fail type of deal (where they complain about being "too hot") or trying to say they are too "bulky" as a dig to women who lift. Especially when Miscers from bb.com get bored and plan a raid on MFP.

    it's sad but that's where a lot of people were coming from. Seeing that OP is legit, Congrats! That's great progress! :)

    I was going through some old pics and saw the pic on the left, I was shocked. I was so small. The pic on the right was EXACTLY ONE YEAR apart. I'm very pleased and shocked with the progress
