Before and During pics... 43 lb down, 10ish to go!

ChuckgM3

Hey MFPals. I realized the other day that I hadn't taken any new pictures in a while to check my progress.

I started here in September with a goal of losing over 25% of my total weight (201.5 - 150) because that would get me into a normal/healthy BMI and hopefully I'd regain some self confidence. Now that I'm within 10 lbs of my goal, I'm thinking I ought to aim a little lower, what do you guys think? Looks like I have more than 8 lbs in that spare tire to me, but we'll see.

- 43 lbs
- 10 inches off my waist
- 7 inches off my butt/hips

I couldn't have done it without this site/app and all the fantastic people on it!

Great job!! And as to your question about goal weight, I would say go with your gut and take into consideration what additional weight you may want to add if, once you hit your goal, you decide you want to bulk up your musculature. You look fantastic, and like a completely different person (and 10 years younger!!) And I know you can hit whatever weight you desire!

Impressive....I would shoot for the next 8lbs and re-evaluate at that time. You look great...Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for the kind words ladies! I think I will take your advice and continue to strive for my goal of 150 and re-evaluate there.

#1 culprit of that belly was beer. I haven't touched the stuff since September.

Well done fella. You smashed it...

If your bf% of 17.3 is still correct then you will need to lose about 11 - 12 lbs to get down to 10% and you should see a massive difference in definition then. Given that you are seeing the beginning of definition around your delts especially I take it you have a decent weights programme in place.

When you get there you can go a good solid bulk to pack some more muscle on your frame. If you have the discipline to get this far bulking should be relatively easy for you with minimal fat gain. You will look like a demi god...
