Hi. I started with Atkins and now have a low glycemic index lifestyle. I do elliptical and weight training. Here are my before and after pics:


I added in a headshot...


245 to 200


245 to 175

EDIT*****

I found another horrendous before picture...



I still have a bit of a gut... love handles, muffin top, whatever you want to call it. How do I get rid of that thing?

Wow! Way to go. You look fantastic. Just keep at it, that extra skin and fat will eventually go away for the most part. The first place to gain is the last to go and when you gut has been stretched it takes some time go back.

Well done Bud.

The last bit takes ages to come off but keep at it.

Fantastic work. I've got the same problems as you right now, but I guess it will come off eventually.

Great job dude! Sweet! Good for you!

How you lose the rest? You keep losing fat! If you haven't yet I recommend you find out your body percentage and monitor that instead of the scale number. Especially at this stage that you're much leaner. It depends on what you're doing... you up the intensity of your training and it helps greatly with the last few pounds, they're the hardest to get rid off. I'm doing everything to go from 172 to 168 and it's getting tough. Add some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) to your workouts, go heavier with the weights. Clean your diet even more (that's always possible). Cut down on carbs at night. There are so many things you can do, but the main thing is to keep going. You don't seem like you need anyone's advice though, you could could be giving advice to lots of people out there! But yeah, basically the last few pounds are tough so hang tight. I finally caved in a got myself Hydroxycut to see if that will help me with my last few pounds.

Again, congrats man, incredibly impressive!

awesome job , very inspiring
