Default My transformation pics ~ From 165 to 238 and everywhere in between
I find it amusing but also interesting to see my body transformations I have made in the last 10 years as I have been as low as 165 and as high as 238 and everywhere in between.
I thought the pics might be of interest for any who has not seen them in the past


Circa 1997 - 165 lbs




Here's me about 1 year later, 1998-99 after 1 year of solid training - 225 lbs




This is me after 5 year hiatus from lifting and after a starvation diet and marathon cardio training 5 days a week - I was going for the "prisoner of war" look.
Also pay no mind to the busted up lip. 2005 - 190 lbs

This is me 6 months later (April 2006) after finally getting back to lifting after 6 years of no lifting ~ 215 lbs







Here are some recent pics from this year and up to last week






My weight by year LOL!

1997 - 165 lbs
1998 - 228 lbs
2001 - 205 lbs
04-05 - 190 lbs
2006 - 238 lbs
2007 - 210 lbs (well, actually from 207 to 213 better part of the year)


I feel like I have been on a roller coaster ride, but I also have developed a sense of how my body works and that I can manuver myself up and down the scale pretty easily when I put my mind to it.
Along the way I have learned valuable lessons of how "not to bulk up" and how "not to cut" as I have done both in the wrong way and been too fat and have shed to much muscle doing high intensity cardio for long durations on a starvation diet...

So I have learned the right and wrong way to travel, which makes my journey now seem very bright as in my posession now are all the right tools to get the job done. I welcome 2008 with open arms, time to make some real progress, both in the the gym !!

Dude, you were way bigger than me in 98. Sure I had about a 10 pack of abs (lol) but you dwarfed me. I think I was going about 170 at about 7% then. I had been as high as 220 in 96-97. In 01 you were 205, I was at a mean 172 (the pic in my 7 years ago thread - I thought about it and it was 6 years ago).

And that 2005 pic looks NOTHING like you. I'm still having my doubts.

Dude looks Hispanic in that pic where he's holding that b-ball. I assumed he was - from SoCal, that pic, etc. LOL He vehemently denied his Latino heritage though.

With a name like Tommy Rubio what else could he be? Looks like an Hispanic gangsta.

That lying bastard told me his name was Tommy Lopez Ramirez Vega. He showed me a pic of his Impala with VEGA written across the back window in Olde English lettering.

Tommy's transformation:

1997 - white dude
1998-99 - Mexican dude
2001-20003 - Arabic dude
2004 - white dude
2005-2007 - Samoan dude
2008 - BLACK DUDE???

Thanks PJ,

I find great honor in digging deep when it counts and overcoming whatever obstacle is in front of you....So if anyone has heart its you with that 145 lbs of weight loss you have capped up!

No pun intended but I wished I dwarfed you now at this moment in time I'd have to be at least 275-280 sub 10 to get that done LOL!

For real though, your progress is extremely motivational and also can show people that you can turn skinny into brawn with a little commitment excellance AND alot of as$ busting workouts!
That pic of you from 7 years ago is crazy! It's Boyd's face but some how his body is smooth and skinny as a 12 yr old LOL
