This guy did it (weight loss + bodybuilding)

That somehow raises my motivation concerning weight-losing+body building:

Wow, that's very impressive progress. It shows if you stick to it, you'll definitely have good results. I sorta wish I thought of taking pictures of my progress, but I guess it's too late.

John Stone rocks. He is a member of bodybuilding.com Notice the dates on those before and after. He did that quicker then you would imagine possible.

This is unbelievable!! If there were not the week-by-week pictures, I would argue forever that the first and last photo had to be some sort of photochoppin job. What an inspiration!

That's absolutely amazing.

I think that's what I needed to inspire me to really get started on my fitness goals!

And his diet logs have tons of vegetarian stuff in them...I'm glad I read this thread!

It is incredible how this guy gave 100% on all aspects of this weight loss program - from the diat and exercise to the web site and even taking weekly pictures and putting together an animated gif. For all the weight loss programs and web sites out there, this one really hits home 'cause it's from an average guy who does things that anyone else can. Amazing work and WHAT a body!!

That is really cool. Gives me alot of motivation, almost want to record it the same way as he did. At some points you can see huge differences in just a few days.

Very motivational site, even for those who have been working out on a regular basis for years. If you're like me and have hit a big plateau, his link to the MAX-OT method is worth checking out. I tried it on a whim ("what do i have to lose?" kind of whim) and its already given pretty good results.

not to offend anyone, but these guys *other* changes remind me of a simpsons quote:

McBain: Ja, thank you, ja, that's nice. Let's say hello to my music
guy, Skoey. [Skoey bows] That is some outfit, Skoey. It
makes you look like a homosexual.
[Audience boos]
Maybe you all are homosexuals!

i don't think getting in shape should have anything to do with turning into a complete meterosexual, but kudos to him for turning his life around

Great to see a well written out progress report. Very impressive and motivational.

But did anyone feel like the gif animation looked like you were watching a body decompose until the muscle gains started?

I'm impressed...and motivated. Kudos for good book keeping as well. I'm still checking out his site and I'm floored at how meticulous he is in every aspect of his routine.

Great job!

What will motivate you more is seeing what you can accomplish yourself.

I used to have ~20% bf, 6'1 and 190ish. Needless to say I was skinny and fat at the same time.

Now I'm a healthy 9% bf, and float between 160 and 165 depending on how much I'm eating. Take pictures of yourself when you start. You don't notice gradual change on yourself sometimes. So those pictures of YOUR OWN PROGRESS will motivate you more than anything. You accomplished it.

That is amazing. The dedication to keep on doing that is awesome. I have gone a month so far and I have not missed a day at the gym and lost 12 lbs., but what he went through is awesome.
