Zero Wing man, eh!
Hey, I am in your boat. I have had a huge weight loss over the past year. I was at 263 last September and now I am currently resting at 209 (only 2 more months before I get to my goal of 190). I love results, don't you?
Please discuss how you lost your weight man. Give me suggestions to lose my last few...
P.S. Your face cleared up quite well man. It's incredible to see your results and very motivating. Keep up your good work. Life feels good when you look good, don't you think?

I just ate really good food and exercised all the time. The key is to each in moderation and eat healthy stuff. Drink nothing but water and fresh fruit juice and include some whey protein powder in your diet, that helps out alot. Avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners, all of that good stuff. Keep at it because it takes time and set goals. Have a positive outlook on everything and just be happy. Althought running (cardio) helps out alot, lifting weights actucally burns more fat, because it burns the fat 24 hours or so after you stop lifting, cardio stops buring the fat 45 mins or so after you stop. I suggest doing both and sticking to it. Get up in the morning and have a shake that has:
oatmeal,milk,yogurt, whey powder, ice, raspberries (or any berry), mix it up and start your day out right with that. It will keep your stomach full enough so you will not be hungry. Have a snack a couple hours later , like fruit/veggies or anything that will keep you going. Make sure you include chicken,tuna,steak,whole wheat,naturel peanut butter, greens, berries, and all of that good stuff. Make sure to take a multivitman everyday and drink plenty of water and fruit drinks. Naked Juice Drinks are awesome and I highly recommend them. If you have anymore questions please let me know.

Except for the fact that I did it so nicely -- and unfortunately I have to spend a lot of time policing this forum (with moderator Nir's help) to keep out the crackpots -- I feel I owe yaboyjjones an apology for PMing him and questioning his success story. It's just too good to be true!
But it is true! I spent a long time trying to match freckles and ear shape and everything to be sure it was the same guy. Couldn't do it for sure, so I wrote yaboyjjones and asked to see some pictures of the transition (he's since posted one, above). It's just amazing, and shows that anybody can reach their goals.
Now of course I wish yaboyjjones had been a long time member of cph and we could all take the credit for helping him! But what I can say is that he achieved his success with the same strategies cph preaches: Eating healthy meals and exercising regularly.
Congratulations yaboyjjones. You're an inspiration!

 Awesome way to go! Can I please ask your age. I have a teens at home and I really want to show your page/photos -- I am constantly trying to get son to eat with "health" in mind--perhaps you can be the factor of encouragement that I can't seem to get thru. I am putting forth the effort to eat healthy and get in shape myself -- and I expect the kids to eat healthy at home -- they will be college bound in a few years and I won't be there to tell them what to avoid! You are totally in control and your body and mind are a powerful tool to your success in life -- peace be with you.
 always a concerned Mom!

Thanks for the kind words, I’ll be 21 in a couple of days  That sounds like a good idea, I hope I can be. I think that I had a mentally of “I am fine like I am and did not care”, but once you lose the weight and have a healthy mind and body you realize what you have missed out on all this time. I’m glad you are putting forth the effect and I really do hope your kids to do. If they love their mom, they will support you  If you have anymore questions let me know. I have a myspace page if anyone wants to be a friend, check it out in my profile.

WOW! AMAZING!
I am in awe! Thanks for posting.
Did you do anything specifically to treat your acne or did it clear up naturally? I'm sure the healthy diet helped.
Congratulations!

FABULOUS transformation. =)))))
And I notice too, how much more happy you look in your 'after' fotos.
Congratulations to you!
[EDIT to add - I wish i had permitted fotos to be taken when we were at our largest, there is only 1 and from a Christmas, and we both are sitting, so it's not too obvious our sizes. ]

Hey man,
You're HOT, like SMOKING!!! 
Can't believe how much of a difference the change of lifestyle made to your skin. It looks great. And you look great, also you look great because yopu look so much happier. Obviously your confidence grew with your weight loss and thats fantastic.
Anyway good luck with the future and hopefully you can maintain the lifestyle. I am currently 78kg down from 90kg ( down from a size ALMOST 18 to a loose fitting 14 Yeehah !!) after the birth of my baby and still have approx 18kg to go. Your pics have motivated me not only because of the physical changes but because of the change in your happiness and confidence levels look majorly changed. Again well done and congratulations. Belinda

Wow... now THAT is impressive. Most of the success stories I've witnessed myself were of women... it's great to see a man go through it so successfully too. You look like two completely different people! And I would certainly react differently to those 2 people. Congratulations. All I can say is you turned into a HOT young man (sorry but it's true... and I'm a 24-year-old female so I can't help but notice) and I'm sure you've already noticed the changes in your dating life haha.
How long did it take you? I don't think you mentioned that.
I've lost 40 lbs in the last 10 months myself and so many things in my life have changed already... putting health first is the best thing anyone can do for themself!!!

| Ahahahah! Your friend's doing the shocker in the after picture! My mom asked me what that was the other day and I had to explain it to her... she's a big prude so it was really funny embarrassing her when I explained it! Congratulations, you look amazing!

Wow, if you had posted the first pic with the last, I never would've known that that was the same person!
It always amazes me just how much losing weight can totally change someones appearance.
How long did it take for you to lose that much? How much did you lose? What got you motivated to start?
