Weight Loss Blog #1 - Moob/gross warning?

looks like you've come a long way already, keep crushing it dude.

Yeah good job man.

good job man, keep going, you already passed the hardest part. If u ever feel stuck in the lifting part feel free to send me a PM.

You need someone to guide you with some fashion sense. The silly mustache, bad haircuts etc arent doing you any favors. I know you probably see it all as "being yourself" or something, but you would be much happier with your appearance if you looked good. Body weight is not the only thing people notice. In fact there are tons of handsome chaps who look 10x better than they do naked because of their hairstyle/clothes. You probably have no idea how much better you could look. In fact you have already reached the fatness threshold at 226, the point where nobody could even tell you are fat when dressed properly. By all means keep losing weight, I'm just saying for appearances sake you're already there, just gotta get you cleaned up.

You weren't born in 1987 were you? That second picture... does not compute

gL with the weight loss~

Go get em bruz, nothing but respect!

good job man

Ha - for sure man; again I got to a point of really not giving a fuck about myself and it def was reflected in dressing comfortable > style. Once I lose the weight I do plan on going shopping with a girl I know that is in the fashion industry for a new wardrobe. So hopefully you'll see a big improvement in the clothing department by spring :D

Chyea - I had gotten to a point where my 5 year older brother was getting carded and I would not be.

idk, I kind of liked the Dali mustache and longer hair
the new style is so generic

Thanks for the support so far hope to be able to show off some major improvements over the next few months for everyone.

I like the mustache. If you feel like yourself with that mustache please keep it. Don't lose your individuality so you could be more fashionable. However, I think you should try the fashionable clothes experiment and see if you feel better about yourself and then report back here. Great read though please keep going man glad to hear that you are happy.

I read somewhere that you wrote you took creatin, I think that makes your body retain a lot more water, most people go up 4-6kg in weight when they start that.

I get a lot of requests from people in my area, or from family on tips on how to go down in weight. I teached my brother, sister and a few close mates how to do it, and they spread some rumors. It's kind of basic stuff, I just told people it's mostly what you eat, and if you make drastic changes, it'll never stick, because you need to make changes you tend to keep for the rest of your life. So it's really smart to find out what's the most unhealthy thing you eat, then eliminate just that, for a week. Find a replacement you think is tasty, good, you can replace it with. Then keep adding more and more. And for most people, it's what they drink. It's super easy to drink a liter of juice, but impossible to eat 20 oranges. So the fluid is a big one. And jogging like crazy everyday isn't the best choice, you rather want to lift weights, and get your body burning more calories when you're at home, relaxing or doing other stuff due to having used your muscles.

Great place to get motivations and find likeminded people, or read other success stories is on the various Reddit forums, there's fitness subform, weightloss, so forth. And most people who've done tremendous weightloss have written in detail what they did.

For sure man, I've always enjoyed doing things with my hair/facial hair. That's something that doesn't really matter much to me, I see it as it grows back so it doesn't matter much. Plus I save a lot of money never going to a barber, just letting it grow out and then shaving it off twice a year ;D haha damn I'm cheap!

As far as the stache, I do like it, it just got to be in the way more than anything - making out with a girl and her having to stop and take out a mustache hair like every 5 minutes... no bueno! ha

I'm also on a weight loss thing myself.
