    370lbs > 170lbs -- My 200lb transformation (w/ PICS!)

    edited February 17 in Success Stories
    I wanted to post these pics today because tomorrow marks the end of a phase in my transformation process. Tomorrow I begin bulking up for the first time, I'm excited and a bit nervous! For the longest time I've been in a constant deficit and I'm ready to see some actual gains. I woke up on June 11th 2011 sick of how my life was headed. I was 200lbs overweight, a hermit with severe social anxiety, and had no clue on how to control my IBS. Being obese triggered my anxiety in public which triggered my IBS symptoms, effectively making my house the only safe place to be.

    I didn't want to live that way anymore, so I did some research online which ultimately lead me to making an MFP account. Along the way I've learned a TON; counting calories, what my TDEE is, the benefits of hitting your macro goals, understanding water weight, strength training for fat loss etc.... I soaked it all up. Combining that with some hard work and dedication this is the result of all of my work, I hope this helps motivate and inspire others to keep at it!

    5'10"
    Starting: 20yo 370lbs
    Current: 23yo 170lbs

      Absolutely needed to see this transformation tonight - about halfway through my own 150 lb weight loss adventure (hell) and am struggling with staying motivated. Thanks for the reminder that while it may be a LONG haul, the results will definitely justify the journey. You look fantastic, but I'll bet you feel even better!

      That has to be one of the most amazing success stories on here, you overcame all of those fears and lost weight, you have got to have such incredible confidence in yourself now. Be proud you earned it!

      You look like a completely different person...I bet you feel like a different person. Huge congratulations on your current success and all your future successes. Embark on this new journey with the same strength and courage as it took to start this one. I'm so happy and proud of your accomplishments!

      Great job, great patience, sticking to this for 3 years is impressive. Now I have to go Google whatever a Frog-o-sphere is.

      Amazing work! And you look amazing too! Congratulations on your journey and continued success on being healthy.

      Wow, you are one handsome guy! I hope you feel great on the inside now too...just as important! Way to take control of your life and get yourself healthy. Nobody gets to be 300+ pounds as a 20-year-old on their own. You were a kid then and now you're a man with a plan. You should be really proud of yourself - that was not easy and you rocked it! Way to go!

      Congratulations!! You look like the younger, fitter brother of the old you. Bet you must confuse people who knew you when you weighed more.

      Frog-o-sphere..haven't heard of it until now. :laugh:

      if you don't mind me asking, do you still struggle with social anxiety or is it something you don't deal with much any more?

      Ha! It's just an aquarium (I guess?) for frogs. I only have before pictures from holidays and such and it was a gift.
