These aren't my pictures, nor are they the pics of anyone I know, but I thought I would share them. I love seeing pictures of amazing body recomps. Check out the starting and finishing weights! Go here to see all the inbetween pics (including what happens when he got injured and went off diet--it also shows what method he was using at each stage of his transition): http://i.imgur.com/J9RRu.jpg

    I needed this today, thanks.

    I've run a marathon, completed most of P90X, and tracked calories religiously. And I'm still pretty darn close in BMI to being considered obese.

    My diet needs work, I know this, but it's a nice reminder that no matter what the scale says and no matter what my self-perception says, how I FEEL is amazing. And it's also what is important.

    Thanks so much for posting!!

    I like how in the 2nd photo he has that "cocky", "I'm the **** now expression." LOL He went from humble, to "I'm the ****!" I think that's cool, but it's also interesting to notice the major confidence/ego that manifested. I agree, It's awesome! Good for him.
