I'm kind of a shy guy, so I would never post this publicly to people I know, but I feel like I have kind of have an anonymity here.

I want to share my success story with others for those who just need that extra push of motivation.

Before: ~200lbs 5'4"
After: ~140lbs

Yeah I'm kinda short, can't really change my Asian genes, but anyway it has taken me a few years of hard work to get to my current fitness level.

My goal is to be a bit more cut and weigh in at 130lbs and I joined MFP recently in order to get there because I'm terrible at counting calories.

I think this website has a great community and I hope my story has contributed to your efforts in reaching your goal!

    Ah, thanks for all the kind words! Its great to see everyone work towards a goal.

    Thanks!

    In the past I felt like a blob and now I feel like a machine. I think guys have it easier with the whole loose skin dealy though because guys are able to fill it out with muscle mass. Good luck on your continued efforts!

    Thats funny that you should say that, my friends never met the fat me, so what they see now is just the normal me. I do run into people from the past and they're eyes light up, which is funny.

    I haven't stuck with any one program, I've used various programs over time. When I first started losing weight, the first thing I did was suicides and plain jogging.

    Beyond that I've done HIIT, Circuit Training, Supersets, heavy strength training.

    Recently I've done a little bit of P90x and kickboxing.

    Great Job, So what was your tragedy? Did you exercise daily, lift weights, and count calories? All of the above or some or a mix? How many days of each....etc?
