    This is a great transformation! You should emphasize to people here that this did take a long time. Five years of no doubt very very very hard work. A lot of people unfortunately have a distorted view that this sort of thing can be done quickly, when really it can't.

    I'm 15 months into my transformation and I'm nowhere near where I want to be just yet. I had enough sense however to lay down a 3 year goal for myself, knowing that this wasn't going to be quick. Maybe it'll take me longer than three years, more like five like you I don't know.

    Awesome job! You are an inspiration to MFP!

    Yeah, it's a long long road. The body has a *REALLY* hard time coming back from being obese which I was for 12ish (?) years. You can lose weight much faster but to lose fat, put on muscle without putting fat back on, it's rough. I went up/down/up/down just trying to put on lean mass over time until I finally learned the standard cut/bulk CANNOT be done for someone who was previously obese. It doesn't work with the body.

    Keep plugging away, consistency is key!

    Dude that is awesome!!!! So there is hope for me! downside is I will be 38 in a week, I would rather look like that before 40, but I guess I could look good like that after 40.

    Yeah, being 30+ is not an excuse it seems. It may have taken me longer than it would take a 22 year old but it can still be done!

    Can you elaborate on your method for putting on lean mass without all the fat that comes along with bulking? Did you just eat a little above maintenance and then do mini cuts? I'm down 55 lbs from 230 lbs and I am looking to increase my LBM because I'm lacking muscle. I don't really want to bulk/cut because of the reason you stated.
