Men 320s to 200s Success Stories

Domineer

Hi All,

I would like to see stories for guys who were in their 300lb phase and made the transition to the 200s. Nothing against the ladies, I enjoy your stories as well but I need to compare to other men who have been on a similar journey. I am still looking to lose another 45 lbs or so. Your before/afters and success would be much appreciated! Thank you all for the motivation!

Major transformation!! Nearly 200lb loss. That's pure desire and dedication. I fight my battles to stay focused but the war will be won by me. 200-210 is not fat for a man 5'10 and up. Our beauty standards are so distorted and ridiculous. I see it as long as you can run 3-5 miles non stop...walk for miles without getting tired, and fitting into clothes that are found in most clothing stores, you are not doing bad. Thank you for your post.

Great work, keep it up. On a similar path myself. Started out at just about 350, about to break into under 300. Goal set at somewhere in the 195 - 210 range

Yeah I still work out 5-6 times a week, three days lifting and 2 or 3 cardio days each week. Gained 20 pounds back but still wear my 34 waist jeans, and they fit as well as ever! BMI says I'm overweight, but I deadlift over 400 pounds, and run a sub 30 minute 5k. No worries here about health or fitness! Stay with it, the results are worth it!

Can't seem to get a side by side collage to work right as the pictures are different sizes but here are mine. Started at 340 and I was 226 on my last way in. Working my way to 180.

At my highest weight I was 333, now I'm 296. Not far into the 200s but it still counts right?

Still have another 86 pounds to go...

Read the whole blog. Great testimonial. You have achieved a lot and you look good, be proud of your accomplishments. You really made a good point when you stated that you didn't see yourself being that big. I thought I carried my weight well but I was 300+ saying that. I'm 15 lbs heavier than you and I can feel and see the difference. Thank you for your story.

Started 350+. I say + because the last time I stepped on the scale it said 345 and I out grew some more clothing from there. Down to 297 this morning with a goal of 190-200.

Thanks for this thread. I needed it!

No problem! the 300 club is a thing of the past for us, and we have to maintain that mindset. My goal is 200 as well. I'll send a friend request. Us big men gotta stick together!

Hello good looking!

I started off at around 445 lbs. I slowly eased my way out of the 400s and just recently got out of the 300s. I currently weigh about 298 lbs. My next small goal is 250 lbs!

Oh yeah!:smokin:

I have gone from 375 down to 210 over the past 18 months... it is a battle every day, but one I like to think I am winning! Just set small goals and when you achieve them make more. Makes it easier to try to lose 5-10 lbs. than thinking about needing to lose 100+. I now need to work on building muscle. Would love to share photos, but I am not exactly sure how...

mgibbons22

I hope I look that good when I get to 246! I've gone from 306 to 268 so far.

Started at 335 7 weeks ago and hit 301 today. (Actually 300, but want to make sure that sticks). My goal also is 240-250, then will re-evaluate. Great motivation here!!

Broderick50

Congrats to all I started in July at 395 and I'm down to 320 my goal is 250 then I'll evaluate wether or not I want to shoot for lower. It's great to see that there are others out there.

#Amazing. One thing that these naturally thin men forgot was that when us big guys get to our goal weights, the power will shift to us. We will make the goal weight look better than their natural weight!

Google "free pic uploading". Then, take the " direct link" for the picture and paste it between leaving no spacing. Hope this helps

You will man. Just keep at it. I was 268 in mid January and stuck with it. 246 is the lowest I've been in 10 years! If i can do it, so can you.

Hi, My journey started in February of 2013. In the past 4 months I've went from 368 to now what is 247. I did this through diet and exercise. I try to hit th treadmill mostly doing about 2.75 miles on it in 30 minutes. I try to work out 6 times per week. I'm almost 51 years old and feeling great. It's getting tougher as I get down closer to my target. I have a little more to go, but would be happy staying at this weight if the body doesn't let me lose anymore. I'll never be a string bean, but being in the weight range I was in high school feels pretty damn good!

im glad I found this thread.
im 53, over weight (350) and tired (of it)
I started p90x on April 1 and lost 6 pounds this week. I just weigh in once a week, Mondays.
my goal is 250 then we'll see where we go from there. BP is a tad high, I have planter fasciitis as well.
when younger I was in good shape, what happened? geez.
I know this is a journey with ups and downs. so im hoping you guys keep coming back with updates, it'll sure help
