I guess I can't say for sure without seeing you without a beard, but I think you look pretty good.

Oh, and I commend you for all that weight lost!

Dude, that's a drastic difference. :thumbsup:

I am 5'8" and used to weigh 120lbs. Over the past few years I have gradually worked my way up to 160lbs. I lift 4 times a week and run 4 times a week. I'm actually close to being overweight based on my BMI, but I'm still very thin.

BMI is so stupid to use. Someone who has a lot of muscle is considered fat.

No. BMI does not equal fat. Gaining muscle isn't necessarily "healthy". More mass = more strain on the heart.

I eat a lot less (and exercise more, though not at first... I had to get down to a weight where I could walk a few blocks without getting exhausted or ride a bike without worrying about the weight cap). I've been working with a doctor and nutritionist and average like 1K calories/day, though I have to go in for blood work every couple months to make sure I'm not malnourished, developing vitamin deficiencies, etc

I got fast food for lunch today... small chili from wendy's. a couple years ago, a fast food lunch would have been like 2 whoppers, fries, and a coke.

 

[SP33Demon]

:thumbsup: Loki! Great pics, keep up the great work...

 

[Beev]

Extreme props to you, loki. I have a lot of respect in someone who has enough control over themselves to do what you did.

I'm at 19.8 BMI. 6'1 150lbs. I am definitely not a stick, and I can't be much bigger than him. I also eat fast food twice a week usually. I fricken love triple whoppers.

If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

Haha! Gold. :thumbsup:

 

[ahurtt]

Wow, dude. I can hardly tell that the before and after pics are of the same person! Great work! I took on a similar challenge last year only on a smaller scale. I'm about your height and this time last year I weighed about 230 lbs. I had tried to drop weight unsuccessfully many times but always failed mainly because I was lazy and afraid to sweat But when my 40 inch waist pants started getting tighter than was comfortable I knew it was time for a change. Once I finally got over my aversion to exercise and learned to control my portion size, the weight fell off pretty easily. Today I'm down to 180 lbs. Now the thing is maintaining those lifestyle adjustments so as to never go back where I came from. It wasn't easy and you had a lot more to loose than I did so major props to you man. Keep it up! The funny thing is how many people at work wanted to know how I did it as if they were hoping for some magic method that would make it easy. . .it was funny to watch them cringe when I mentioned the word "exercise" LOL. What it ultimately comes down to is do you want it bad enough or don't you? If somebody wants something bad enough they will do what it takes to make it happen. Congrats to you, man. For being a guy who knows what he wants and being willing to throw away the excuses and commit to what it takes to make it real.

 

[Miramonti]

Ever have your thyroid checked?

 

[HeartOfGold]

Congratulations! You look good. I recently lost 20 lbs myself.

 

[Redfraggle]

Congrats man!! People are always thinking people that lose weight like that are doing something magical, hopefully you'll have established some good, healthy practices. Now is a great time to take up some physical hobby that you always outwardly hated, but inwardly wanted to try.
