Really nothing to see here but I’ll contribute nonetheless for the sake of dads everywhere.
I am a 42 year old dad of 4..... the first pic is last summer at 185lbs, the second was yesterday at just under 160lbs. It’s a long road, starting so late in life, but I’ve got the time.
You're doing good things Kasner

Thank you, sir.
I don't even like to post pictures of myself back then because I'm a completely different person now, but I'm hoping my transformation picture is inspiring to someone.
You certainly are inspiring Dan.. your transformation is amazing .
Thanks, Jo.
As they say, breakups make bodybuilders. I've found self improvement is healthy, but it's important to stay humble and keep fitness in balance with the rest of life's adventures and demands.
I'm sure you guys are right, but most of the people I know (including myself) fall in the opposite boat: having a supportive long-term partner equips them with a platform to be the best version of themselves.
I think it's interesting.
I guess it goes either way. My ex-wife didn't really care one way or the other on if I worked out or not. She did try to make healthy meals. But, didn't like my being gone.
I'm still struggling to work my way back to being healthy. Had a number of years of negatives beating me down, and taking their toll on me.3 -

I've never heard the saying breakups make bodybuilders.....
I fall on neither side. A relationship, or lack of one was never my motivation for any physical or athletic accomplishment. In my mind one has nothing to do with the other. I enjoy my fitness being the one thing in life that o am in complete control of.
When was your last relationship?
It's not my motivation for athletic accomplishment but I'd be lying if I said that being in a relationship doesn't affect my training....at least, historically.
My last serious relationship, I found myself not being as disciplined with training just because I really enjoyed doing things together (this was 2+ years ago, and I had a much less demanding work schedule). That said, I also didn't have a coach putting my workouts up : ) Perhaps I'd be better now.
Last semi-relationship was during off season. Would have been unsustainable through IM training. He wasn't supportive enough of my priorities during off season so I dropped him like a bad habit in January.2 -

It's important to get partners onboard with your values. It's okay to want different things, but there has to be understanding that trying to force change will only initiate a negative cycle of feelings & behaviors.
I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like it was a long road....I'd be curious to ask in, perhaps, a more private setting? How's working your way back going?0 -

I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you don't take it back now, that'll be the end of it
Ooh, I'm giddy!
Shall I DM you my address now, or my surname and let you put your skills to use?

This is where having someone you're involved with either being supportive, or taking part in training with you. The Tri group I trained with had two or three couples that trained together. One couple met through the group, and eventually married. I believe the others had met before being a part of the group. Was very cool to see them do it all together and support one another.
Have yet to find someone who's interested in the same things I am that makes me not want to be single.2 -

Oh, having a training partner is ideal. I mean, not necessary, but great. Or at least having someone who gets what training is like (I have a friend I went on a few dates with. He no longer trains, but competed in bodybuilding for years, and understands/empathizes with my needs).
Was the tri group a big one? I know a lot of couples like that. It's awesome. I pretty much won't date someone who doesn't cycle, at this point.
Yeah....Dating is hard when you're a busy person and your priority is yourself, unless you can find someone who really meshes with your lifestyle.0 -

You're more than welcome to inquire privately. Actually, I think I sent a message on our last time when we were told to take it to PM. :laugh:

It was about 16 people who actively trained. Probably close to 20 at the peak. Was a cool group, miss training with them even though I was slow running. Love cycling, as saw in some pics.
Dating is difficult, period. Add onto it our training, work, etc and it's really a challenge.0 -

Dude despite you being a douche to me in the past, I have no problems saying you're looking great! 25 lbs is no joke and you rock almost the purest definition of the good 'dad bod' that women are adoring in 2018. Keep on keeping on!
@projectbradley I apologize.
I have been a douche to too many people in the past, and it’s something I do not forgive myself for. I genuinely apologize.9 -

It's been a long time since my last relationship. But it didn't matter. Anybody I dated knew I was a professional athlete and not only needed to train, I needed to travel. I wasn't changing that nor what I expect them to accept it or not. It's a little different now, but training is my what I do for a good part of my living, and I still need to travel with some of the athletes I train. Training for me was never something that was supposed to be affected by personal life. I'm way more flexible nowadays but I'm not real good at compromise so I doubt relationships are in my near future 0 -

Accepted good sir. If there's one thing I've learned as I've aged, even in the past few years is we're all struggling in our own way. I hold no resentment because you can look back on life and time is very deceptive. It's not to be wasted on hate and resentment.
Now let's hug because I.. I feel like there's a lot of love right now and it's making me tingly.9 -

No worries on the messages, if you get to it, ya do. But, think it has some info on this already.
Life for me get very busy at times. Between injuries, already a couple of other hobbies, and combination of stuff it was just easier to let it go to the side for the time being.
EDIT: Just so I don't get another "Take it to PMs" message...
Here's a pic that's about a year old. I'll be doing another later this year for comparison...

Unfortunately, there's been a couple of hobbies I've had to give up due at least in part to medical issues. The first one was more of a blow than the Tri, as it was truly depressing for me. I was asked at some time about the Tri injries and missing a race my response was "Eh, it happens. Always another"
Thanks. I need to wash the kilt since the turnout material it's made of is very stiff. Make it a little chess likely to chafe. Most comfortable ones I have are wool or poly/wool blend.0 -
I'm a Dad to 5 and a Grandad to 2 - so I suppose you could call this a Grandad bod
This was my first cut after 5 years off back in 2013.
I went out to a social event, and the Wife showed me some photos a few days later, I was disgusted at how I'd let myself go.
I was working long hours, eating rubbish and drinking far too much.
I started a cut the very next day, Just about 9 months between pics.
(first pic is flipped, so they all face the same way, I've also had 11 sessions of laser tattoo removal, decent tan and you can hardly see them anymore).
Pic below was 2015 somewhere around 8% BF.
And the last one was last year somewhere around 6-7 %
Sorry about the weird 'stalker' type smile lol

Hi,
No I haven't, it's something that doesn't really interest me, although I have been asked.
Maybe in the future, who knows, I'm 47 this year so would be looking at the Masters I suppose.
Thanks for the comment bud.2
