DamnVery Impressive, Keep up the hard work
Here are two photos of myself. The first was taken June 2003, my weight was 389lbs. The second last week @ 240lbs. I'm still very much a work in progress.
The first guy is dead and buried now, thank God or Stephen.
I'm showing you these because this site and its members inspired me to get into the gym and transform myself.
For the record. The weight came off because of my gastric bypass, but the muscle is going on because of the gym!


Incredible transformation.![]()

My regimen now is no different then any of yours. I eat quality foods (I also live on protein bars as it's hard to consume enough calories) and do low volume training.
Kick ass Largepkg ... well done. You lost the weight of a moped I used to own.![]()

I hear so many stories about ppl who get the bypass but screw up because they don't know what to do after that, they just expect the surgery to do everything. Obviously you've taken the initiative and run with it.![]()
Way to go!! You look great!![]()
Only time will tell if it was time well spent!
Thank you everyone!
A lot of people expect the surgery to do everything for them. The sad thing is it will to a point. They don't seem to realize that you're still the same person after the bypass. Same habits, same emotions, etc...
A lifestyle change is still required. Otherwise old daemons pop up.
I'm an extremely compulsive person. I managed to trade crappy living, and eating for the gym, and counting macros.![]()
Absolutely spectacular![]()

Don't look back ~ You're not going that way!
