in Success Stories
Hi All,

I would like to see stories for guys who were in their 300lb phase and made the transition to the 200s. Nothing against the ladies, I enjoy your stories as well but I need to compare to other men who have been on a similar journey. I am still looking to lose another 45 lbs or so. Your before/afters and success would be much appreciated! Thank you all for the motivation!

    Major transformation!! Nearly 200lb loss. That's pure desire and dedication. I fight my battles to stay focused but the war will be won by me. 200-210 is not fat for a man 5'10 and up. Our beauty standards are so distorted and ridiculous. I see it as long as you can run 3-5 miles non stop...walk for miles without getting tired, and fitting into clothes that are found in most clothing stores, you are not doing bad. Thank you for your post.

    Great work, keep it up. On a similar path myself. Started out at just about 350, about to break into under 300. Goal set at somewhere in the 195 - 210 range

    Yeah I still work out 5-6 times a week, three days lifting and 2 or 3 cardio days each week. Gained 20 pounds back but still wear my 34 waist jeans, and they fit as well as ever! BMI says I'm overweight, but I deadlift over 400 pounds, and run a sub 30 minute 5k. No worries here about health or fitness! Stay with it, the results are worth it!

    Can't seem to get a side by side collage to work right as the pictures are different sizes but here are mine. Started at 340 and I was 226 on my last way in. Working my way to 180.

    At my highest weight I was 333, now I'm 296. Not far into the 200s but it still counts right?

    Still have another 86 pounds to go...

    Read the whole blog. Great testimonial. You have achieved a lot and you look good, be proud of your accomplishments. You really made a good point when you stated that you didn't see yourself being that big. I thought I carried my weight well but I was 300+ saying that. I'm 15 lbs heavier than you and I can feel and see the difference. Thank you for your story.

    Started 350+. I say + because the last time I stepped on the scale it said 345 and I out grew some more clothing from there. Down to 297 this morning with a goal of 190-200.

    Thanks for this thread. I needed it!

    No problem! the 300 club is a thing of the past for us, and we have to maintain that mindset. My goal is 200 as well. I'll send a friend request. Us big men gotta stick together!

    I started off at around 445 lbs. I slowly eased my way out of the 400s and just recently got out of the 300s. I currently weigh about 298 lbs. My next small goal is 250 lbs!

    I have gone from 375 down to 210 over the past 18 months... it is a battle every day, but one I like to think I am winning! Just set small goals and when you achieve them make more. Makes it easier to try to lose 5-10 lbs. than thinking about needing to lose 100+. I now need to work on building muscle. Would love to share photos, but I am not exactly sure how...

    I hope I look that good when I get to 246! I've gone from 306 to 268 so far.

    Started at 335 7 weeks ago and hit 301 today. (Actually 300, but want to make sure that sticks). My goal also is 240-250, then will re-evaluate. Great motivation here!!
