Default Before and After

I think it would be a good idea to show some before and after pics so that people can see what true hard work looks like. I would be the first but I am in the middle of my transformation so I don't have any progression pics.

Here's my story....

1997 I hit a peak of 295lbs after being on lithium, thorozine, and zoloft.

I came off of it, and lost 100lbs by 1999



Then over the years I slowly put weight back... until reaching the same weight again in 2004



This time, instead of hiding from the camera like most fat men do, I started taking progress pictures in December 2004



I have been making consistent but slow progress ever since.. here's a picture between now and then with me standing in my old 48" waist pants



It is now june 2006, 2 years later, and this is me now





But I am VERY FAR from finished. I will be competitive one day.... because I will get my bodyfat undercontrol. Failure just is not an option.

Im sorry I couldn't provide a true 'after' picture.

Wow, skelooth great story and excellent progress. There is no doubt in my mind that you will compete sometime soon. Good luck to you.

Thanks for all of the participation so far. We have a lot of great success stories here and I thought it would be nice to bring them all together. Thanks again, and in I will have some progress pics soon.

How did I not see these pictures?

Krzna, you cut down like a mofo, awesome job! Your before picture isn't even a distant shade of what you are now! You are a beast But I bet I can still out eat you.

New Spawn is the man. Krzna is beastly, and skelooth has made some damn good progress. I would love to have his arms... bastard.

Wow, I can't believe how much more youthful you look in your current pictures! It's more than just not having the glasses on. Very cool bro!

I hope EME stops by and posts his before/afters. I dropped my jaw on the ground when I saw what he looked like as a young teen vs. now. I think it's safe to say that his life would have been DRASTICALLY different had he not decided to lift weights

Holy Horseshoes!!! Damn Spawn, I don't check your log for awhile and you blow up. You look diesel man. Your legs and arms are insane. Really looking 300% better every few weeks. Nice posing too.

Well, since you asked.

Age 15 - 10th Grade



2004



2005



Unfortunately, however, I started out 2006 like this..






So, we'll have to wait and see what the rest of 2006 and 2007 have in store!

- EME

p.s.

NewSpawn... you are looking AWESOME bro... keep up the GREAT work! :clapping:

Atleast you got to read the precontest bible in bed. I really need to get my hands on that. Suppose to be a fantastic read. I love the EME pics, definitely the ones from yesteryear.
