edited December 2024 in Success Stories
Age: 28
height: 5'11
Starting Weight: 250
Current weight: 180.0
About me: Father of 3, married 6 years, plays bass really well for a alternative rock band.

The timing is nice of me hitting this final goal. I have a gig Sunday :)

I've been teetering around forever. Glad to finally hit it.

My diet: From 250-230 I did weight watchers (Well, the the point system and worked with it)
My lifestyle: From 230-180. I focused on eating high protein and low calories. I have a rebellious spirit. I suck with rules and restrictions. So I kept my lifestyle as simple. High protein. Low Calories.

I have done sports from 4-16... Apparently, I still have some leftover. :)

Now the picture show.

    I was dieting and losing and dieting and losing forever.

    I went from 250 to 220 to 235 to 215 to 230 to 180. Dieting always killed me. I have an addiction to the feeling of being stuffed. This lifestyle change allowed me to get that feeling a little while still being able to lose weight.

    Thanks! I've done very little working out, just all diet. Was fortunate to be an athlete my child and teenage years. I plan on getting back into it now.

    I had a 6 pack when I was 4. I may just be one of those people who just naturally have it? Or maybe both doing sports my whole childhood and being built for muscle. Who knows?

    That was going to be my question, what kind of workout did you do along with the diet. I started doing P90 along with my diet and I am down 24 lbs so far.

    Rather inspirational. I'm the same height, same starting weight and want to down to where you are. I'm a bit older, but it's nice to see what can be done.
