And ... the "after", well, the "current" anyway ... LOL

I couldn't figure out how to get them both in the same post so I took up two posts ... sorry ...

Trainerdan...

I looked at your stats....is it an error or are you actually working on gaining....and thus your fat picture would show your success???

At my worst, I was 230-240ish and fat .(I have no idea of my bodyfat percentage when I started, but about 6 months into it I was 26% and I had lost quite a bit).

Then I started working out and watching my diet ... then I found low-carb ... I got down to about 185 and decided that I wanted to "muscle up" ...

So ever since, I have been adding muscle. My goal is to be 235 - 240 at a low percentage of bodyfat (10 - 12%) all year round. When I want to get ready for beach season, I can drop that down to 225 at 8% or so.

As far as my stats go, I wasn't sure how to do it. I already hit my fat loss goal ... but my current weight is higher than my original goal. So I put my current goal up there since that is what I am chasing now.

You know me, always have to be the difficult one ...

Your picture trainerdan gives me some good ideas for keeping myself motivated......

Actually, the stats can work either, for gaining or losing. It simply calculates the progress from start to goal based on the current weight. In the case of members who first lost weight, and then gained muscles, they simply chose which one they want to reflect in their stats, and one logical choice is to reflect the latest project, either the losing path, or the gaining path.

Wow! So, that is what 50lbs looks like when you loose it low carbing? It looks more like 70. Looking good dude.

Hi AfroBob,

What great results!!! A big motivation!!

Congratulations on your weight loss. You said you gained 10 lbs. back. Was that because you went back to eating carbs?

Congrats to both of you! My flab thanks you for posting your pics (or pecs, in dan's case) We need to see the befores and afters. It gives so much hope and inspiration. You make us proud.

Thanks again,
mg

I don't get all the headless pictures...hmmmm
but great job any way guys.

i was thinking i was the only self conscious one, i had posted my before and after in my introduction an then i got what me and my friends call selfconciousness attack couldnt sleep, thinking that so many people were looking at my pic and surprisingly the after picture is the one that was mortifing me, i dont know why. so i did the cowardly thing and deleted i hope i can get over it some day.

You can share your success with us anytime...go ahead and share your after....you worked hard to get there
Sometimes I need constant reminding that I can reach my goal of an after picture....

Everyone needs a little encouragement....

I agree...when I get to my goal....I am posting my before and after too..... I will be beaming with pride.

well, ia guess i have a little work to do on my confidence as well maybe it takes a little longer, just like when i gained the weight it took me while to realize my new size

way to go !!!!!!!!
Keep up the work
