I know it's a little old but here was my 6 month progress pics from June. I started last year at 185 lbs and am now 156 lbs. I also dropped at least 8% body fat.

A few months after this I almost died from septic shock and E.coli attacked my muscles. I gained weight after that and have slowly gotten back. I've now gone from 163 lbs in June to 158 lbs now.

In this time my cholesterol dropped from 248 to 69. The doctor said he's never seen such a drastic drop by diet and exercise alone.

Stick with it, everyone. You can totally reach your goals!!

    I just want to say this is truly inspiring. Your first pictures might as well be replicas of my pictures with different heads! Im at 184.6 right now and my goal is 170ish. Ive never been below 180 and when i was at 180 i was eating like garbage but exercising enough that it didnt matter. Now im eating as healthy as i can. I would be so happy to see the results you have shown. I know all it takes is hard work, and your post has motivated me even more. Time to lose that gut!!!


    Thanks for your post. Also, im sorry to hear that you had gotten sick and im glad that youre okay. Life throws crazy things at us every day. Its awesome that you got through all of that. Keep up the good work man!
