Are you giving Body for life the credit for you awsome transformation in life?

I see you move away a bit after the link, but what is your message that delivered you from obesity??

Sorrey screwed up in my posting.

Wasn't trying to start a new thread.

Was basically advancing the notion that Trinsdsad & Oceandude
where actually the same person.

Mtb’er I’m rather appalled that you would make a public accusation with no rational basis for such a silly notion. What would be a motive in such as thing? A private message would have been much more appropriate to clarify any questions of this nature. But I can see you are having some mechanical problems with the posting mechanism so let’s let it go for now.

For the record NO, Trinsdad and I are NOT the same person and I had presumed to think I had made a new friend from my prior post to him (http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...threadid=19022 ). He and I have very similar personal desires to transform our bodies after years of neglect. I just happened to be almost completed with my transformation and I was just giving him some pointers and encouragement.

Well, mtb’er first of all let me say that I am a current an active competitor in BFL still and I do not want to say anything that will jeopardize any possible standing I might have. I may or may not yet submit my final results for consideration. Frankly the competition is intense. I have too much hard work in to throw that option away at this point. So, I’m going to defer some of this question for a while.
Morally, for the sake of others trying to get the courage to transform I am compelled to say that what delivered me from obesity was getting education about fitness principals, shame/self-respect and my deep personal desire to get back “the real me”. In don’t want to go into my life’s story here but suffice it to say I was a very active and athletic person all through college. After entering very stressful working conditions in my very first job (life and death kinds of missions of very high national interest) I did everything wrong to deal with the stress and the long hours. I just relied on a fast metabolism to get me by. That all changed as I aged. I carried the fat well so I didn’t notice it until it was too late. Then I did all the wrong things to recover – yo-yo dieting , cutting calories, eating wrong, fasting etc. I had always thought I could lose some fat anytime I wanted but it just started to become hard to get even a pound to stay off. I’ll not replicate my prior post here but let it be sufficient to say that I had no idea I was actually “clinically obese” until my wife bought a cheepie electronic body fat device. I was shell shocked to discover that “obese” (32% bf) meant I was medically equivalent to those huge guys carrying around 100 lbs of fat and more. That got my attention because that was NOT my identity of myself – hell I was 155 lbs in college and suddenly I’m at 228 lbs and the silly device is calling me obese; “no freaking way I’m going to be obese” I said to myself. It was a sobering wakeup because I was still pretty active and never thought of myself as obese. I then spent literally months pouring over nutrition information, exercise programs and studying and becoming smarter. This became another “life and death” kind of mission for me on a very personal basis and became my own personal full time job. BFL convinced me that I could turn it all around when I saw the many before and after pictures of some of the contestants. They were believable people genetically average in every way and not a bunch of off season bulked up lifters doing before and after pics in the magazines on either side of the season. I learned a lot from BFL and it gave me the certain knowledge that I would prevail if I put in the effort with the right principals.
