I think it's mostly women on these forums. Would be good to see a post with guys success stories. I'm interested in weight lifting/body building results!

I wanted to loose fat. Didn't focus on muscle at all really. Now wish I did as I did as my goals have changed. I was just over 200lbs in the first pic and second is 1 year later at just under 160lbs which I did through eating a net of 1400 cals through diet and exercise. Went to the gym once or twice a week and gave it my all. focused of the cardio, often burned between 200 and 600 cals on the treadmill and occasionally doing a few circuits with pull ups and push ups and ab exercises, leg curs etc (but not much). 6months in I took up an hour of badminton once a week which burned about 350 cals. Roughly once a month i did indoor rock climbing which was about 600 cals

I ate my usual diet which included pasta, pizza, lasagne, Chinese, Sunday lunches, jacket potatoes, pies, sausage and mash, fish and chips BUT IN MODERATION! I learned what a portion really was and how to make it myself rather than buying ready meals. I stopped eating pasties and chocolate bars and fizzy drinks at lunch and made my own sandwiches and salads.

Not a success yet ...still a work in progress . Check out my profile pics 1 year 4 months progress.
A lot of hard work and dedication it can be done

I'm down to 206.4 now, but that's close enough. My diary is open, but it's mostly been about making better choices. I eat a lot of lean meats, fish, etc now.

My workouts have consisted largely of DDP Yoga and walking. I did start a C25K program this week, but since it's week one, I can't credit it for anything.

My story, after one year of MFP:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/895275-one-year-of-mfp

emanuelfeitosa

that's from before. at 117 kg.



that's now. at 82 kg, after 3 weeks of bulking at 2500 cal.

My routine since the begining:
1ºfase: Cardio - walking, jogging slowly and boxing - (about 400 cal worth of exercise) + 1600cal of food. protein at 60g --> 6 months. (from 117 to 96kg)

2ºfase: Lifting + light running (eating at 1800 cal) - 90g of protein daily. (from 96 to 79kg)

3ºfase: heavy lifting + running 5km (eating at 2500) 150g protein daily. (from 79 to 83kg)

4ºfase: current fase - cutting at 1800 cal - running 5 km every other day. (hopping to get at 77kg and bulk once more.)

I dont have the pics handy ...but at my start I was about 210 pounds (plus or minus a few) and it probably took me about two years to get to about 175 pounds, and then another year to get to 170; then I started focusing on lifting heavy and measuring calories for about a year and am about 175 and 13% body fat...

NoWeighJose74

This was back in '06, when I weighed 260 (at 5'4" tall). A little exaggerated as I'm puffing my cheeks out, but still...
Took me about 2 years to get down to about 170. I did lots of cardio, and didn't really start strength training until I got below 200. Looking back, I wish I had done strength training the whole time.

Once I got down to about 175, I pretty much eliminated steady state cardio. These days, I lift 3-4x a week and am currently doing Wendler's 5/3/1. I'd still like to drop about 10lbs of fat.





This one is at about 165. Hamming it up a little.

Seeing pictures and reading the success stories with them really helps me !!! Amazing all of you !! I am so thankful for your post on how you have put the work in, and what you fueled your bodies with to be healthy !!

Started last year in March at 204 lbs (was at 212 in January)



I did different types of training 6 days a week (mostly cardio) for 2 months and I was eating pretty healthy (one cheat meal per week) but I wasn't counting my calories. Then for 2 more months I did insanity. Was still eating healthy, one cheat meal per week and not counting calories and I ended up at 179 lbs in July 2012. (lost 12 lbs with insanity and 2 pants size)



I kept losing after that by counting calories and training off and on, got down to 168 lbs in December 2012 but I am now at a steady 175 lbs (I cheat once in a while but been counting calories for 370 days straight!)

I saw a very big difference with my before and after picture, I will motivate myself again soon to lose the remaining stubborn belly fat!

Congratulations! You are looking really great!!!! I am losing weight but not going to the gym, just walking. At my age (64) I think I'd do more damage with weights than help!!!!

Bump for los chicos.

mustgetmuscles1

I workout 4-6 hours per week. 15 mins of cardio for a warm up, 45-60 mins of weightlifting, 10 mins of mobility and stretching.

Follow flexible diet (IIFYM) for my food choices and try to consistently hit my calorie goals.

I lost 50 lbs in the first year (average of almost -1 pound per week). I have since went through a couple bulking and cutting cycles for the last year. I am guessing I have added about 5lbs of muscle in that time while staying relatively lean. (14-18%bf)

I have lost a little more that 75 pounds in the last year and half. I plan to lose another 30. I started lifting weight 4 months ago and I have not seen the scale change any, but I can defiantly see my body transforming. I run a 5k 3-4 times a week for cardio and I lift weights 5 times a week. My diet pretty much consists of a lot of protein, fruits, veggies.

Starting weight 311 pounds and this morning I was 234. Still a work in progress, but hopefully this provides a little motivation.

I've been at this since February, so just under 6 months. I began my journey by changing my diet and have stuck pretty closely to my calorie goals every day. I've lost about 40lbs at an average of about 1lb/wk for the first 3-4 months and then it slowed a bit. I've been at maintenance or close to it for the last month or so, but I'm still trying to drop the body fat.

My exercise routine has been a mix-mash of things while I've been finding what I enjoy. I began with pure cardio on an elliptical for a few months. This helped drop the pounds but didn't add any muscle (a big mistake in retrospect). I then added in body-weight strength exercises like push-ups and pull-ups, doing the 100 push-up/20 pull-up challenge.

Now, I'm doing the C25k program in addition to the Body Beast weight lifting program. I alternate cardio and strength training days for 6 days a week. My progress pictures are below, although the most current one is from last month. I've dropped about 5lbs since that picture. I'll be taking my 6 month progress next weekend so maybe I'll come back and update this post then.

Before: February 2013 @ 208lbs.



Progress: June 2013 @ 177lbs

Awesome - very inspiring stories. Good work! Keep it up!!

I am 34yo male and I started at my peak weight of 303 in early November, 2012. I lost nearly 50 lbs through controlled diet (1800-2200 cals), walking 30 minutes around downtown 2-3 days a week after lunch, and occasional 1-2 hour brisk hikes through rough terrain on weekends which I love.

Recently lost a little ground on my progress as summer brings along more beer, bbq's, floating the river, trips to the coast, etc, and frankly I prefer to enjoy these things with friends in moderation than to abstain. It is also so hot in south Texas right now that walks are not realistic after lunch wearing wool dress slacks and button up shirts and hikes are suicide unless you start at the break of dawn, so I started going back to golds gym after work.

Anyhow, thanks for posting your stories - gave me some needed encouragement.

Need to get better photos, but here is one from about about 6 months before I started losing (~270 LB):



and here is one from about a month ago - about 8 months (~195 LB):
