    Thank you for sharing!! I love seeing the pictures of different stages. I hear so much here about bulking and cutting, so cool to see examples of this! I, too, have a pretty successful body for life before and after pics. I hope I can continue as you have. You truly are an inspiration!!!! Thankyou:)

    This post is awesome, but I think my favorite thing about it is the fact that you didn't shave your chest for the money shot.


    this.


    although your back is surprisingly smooth.

    Great post and awesome transformation, Taso! You did an outstanding job of explaining the methods you used and why they worked/didn't work. Noted is the complete and total absence of any so-called "quick fixes" or "magic pills" - nothing but guts, self-discipline and a lot of sweat. Kudos to you, bro!

    To close this out, I'd like to pass on a few key things that I think are the essentials to success:
    - You have to want to change and believe that you can change
    - You should work hard but you shouldn't suffer
    - It will take as long as it takes. The time you spend losing weight and getting fit is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of your life
    - Weight loss comes from a calorie deficit, plain and simple. You can achieve the calorie deficit by counting calories, or you can eat in a way that incidentally puts you in a deficit. Any of these diets you hear of that "work", work because they put the user in a calorie deficit.
    - Exercise increases your fitness level. The point of exercise is strength and fitness, not weight loss
    - Whatever diet or exercise program you follow should be sustainable. Don't go on any hokey crash or fad diets or so-called cleanses that have you malnourishing yourself for a small period of time in the name of "jump starting your weight loss"; Similarly don't go trying to do hours and hours of exercise every day.
    - Simple is better

    Oh, and one final tidbit. If you made it all the way down here, you may have noticed that I didn't mention my body weight from before or after. And the reason is, who cares?! I was fat before - it was obvious. How much did I weigh? Too much. How much do I weight now? About the right amount. Whether the scale happens to say 135 or 185 is rather meaningless.

    Agree with all of these, and kudos to you for putting in all the hard work and finally getting to reap the benefits! Thanks for sharing your story with us! :flowerforyou:
