[tanz45]

Ahhhh the skiny days. Not big now but bulked up. Gym every day, bad diet , protein and 6'2'' 200 lbs.

In Hike School i was 6'2 rnd 150 wet. And congrats!!

i guess im the little guy here...5'9" and 152lbs at 2-3% body fat consuming a (no BS) 6000 calorie diet. I dropped from 152 to 146.5 in four hours saturday to make sure i still can. I've been training for the cage for 8 years and powerlifting, competeing for strength for 6.

congrats on the weight loss, cardio's a pain

I promise you aren't the only one. It is impossible for me to gain weight unless I drink 2-3 protein shakes, 5-6 meals, and a scoop of peanut butter every night. I'm 5'11, 163. Have been for two years. In HS I was way bulked up at 5'10, 185 and I actually felt way better then. I just don't have time to work out with school and now 60+ hour work weeks.

And like you, I really know how to drop weight. I wrestled my freshman and sophomore years of HS.

i looked horrible after dropping the weight. my freshman year i was 5'2" at 165 no fat. heres a crap phone pic a girl at the gym took after i dropped to 145..

Yup! Last two weeks was the only fast weight loss. I've gotten down to 235 from 265 before with just dieting. My goal for now is 235, after the wedding I want to get down to 200. I'm just not sure I can make it. At 235 I could wear size medium shirts and I didn't have much fat left to lose. I'm pretty damn solid, I don't like it, it was always harder on me because i like to skate and ride freestyle bmx.

You weigh 235 and can wear a medium shirt? Ive havent seen a medium since I was in elementary school. Im 235 also, and its definitely XL and sometimes XXL. Even when I boxed as an amatuer at 205 lbs, I still had to get XL shirts. Congrats on the weight loss, bro. Don't get discouraged when you plateau (and trust me, you will level off at some point). The most important element of getting gains in any kind of workout or diet program is keeping your head on straight and being reasonable with yourself. My mantra has always been "patience and perseverence". Just believe in yourself, then you'll get down to 200 when your body is ready.

Patience and perseverence.....

Dude I'm 6'2", 185 and I wear a large or extra large...

[RedHeartbeat]

it appears he likes his shirts to fit as tight as his panties.

[lo-lyf]

Hahaha. I don't like tight clothes really, and don't wear under-britches. I'm in xl shirts right now. I'm also only 5'10" short, xl shirts hang down almost to my knees when I'm in the 230's.

I know I will plateau, it usually happens after every 10 or so pounds for me. I'm still at 250ish from last week. I already feel much better than I did 40 lbs ago and I'm back up to 1600 calories a day starting this past Saturday. I have fluctuated throughout my whole life.

that p90x is no joke i have heard nothing but good things about it but the thing with working out is your just have to do it. The biggest hill you will face is going to the gym or going to do a workout once you overcome that and just do it you will get into a groove where working out or training becomes part of your day just remember "there isnt anything to it but to do it." but glad to see you still motivated to loose the weight.

[kyhunter89]

just keep it up and mix up the workout occasionally.
