Amazing job both losing the weight and adding back muscle! Sustaining your progress over a long period of time is a huge achievement as well.. Your comments about the need to add back muscle after losing that much weight are very helpful. Congratulations!

Thank you for posting your pictures. The transformation is amazing. Did you follow any special diet plan? I am just beginning my journey and appreciate how motivating it is to see pics! You must feel so much better.

Great story - thanks for sharing! Thanks for the words on weight-lifting. I started weight-lifting early on and agree it's very important. You look great and it's motivating to hear about people that have kept the weight off for a long time!

Hello all,

I wanted to share my success with all of you. I started my journey in the beginning of 2008 when I weighed over 300 lbs. After 8+ months I lost 120lbs. At that time, I calculated the loss at 90lbs fat and 30lbs lean body mass. I could have done it with a better loss ratio; however, scale drops motivated me more than body fat %. Since then, I have slowly increased my lean body mass and I'm pretty sure I have gained back the muscle I lost (and dropped fat as well).

Normally I wouldn't post images like this to the public as I’m a bit embarrassed, definitely not shirtless! However, I feel, in order for you to see the magnitude of loss you need to see the before/after pics with shirt off. Who knows, perhaps I could even motivate a person or two which would just be awesome!

This year I will enter my fifth year of maintenance. I truly can't believe it! I remember telling people not to congratulate me until I keep it off for 1 year. I think I can now say it’s going to stay off now!

Holy moly, that is an awesome transformation!! Congratulations!!

As all the other have said well done! You look amazing and you would never think that you were a 300 lbs man!
If I look half as good as you at my end point I'll be a very happy guy

I always say, it's not the LOSING the weight that is the hard part, it's KEEPING it off! You are absolutely an inspiration. Thank you for being brave enough to share!
