Default Mike's Before and After

Sorry for not having a proper before pic, this is the best i could come up with.

Also... Big thanks to this site and to those of you on it who have helped me through this process. Would probably be pushing 300 right now if it weren’t for all of you!


Xmass 06



Aug 07, just before i started training/diet: 268lbs


Taken today: 212lbs


Trap shot...


Of course i still have a long way to go, want to keep cutting down, put a lot more size on my chest and arms, and eventually be able to see what my abs look like (never met them before).

But anyway... feel free to respond, criticize, complement est...

You lost 56 pounds in 6 months! Good job bro. If you can go from 268 to 212 in 6 months, then I can get from 245 down to 205.

What is your next goal?

Nice cut dude. From the looks of it, you'll have an extremely nice build if you keep working at it.

Damn Mike, big transformation right there! Pats on the back to you !!!!
I had no idea you were as big as you were to start and I was even clueless on how far you have come.....

Great work, you look like a total different person (even in the face)

It's hard to see how much muscle mass you've put on because you're wearing shirts in the first two pictures. Mind you, just by looking at your face you can tell how much fat you've shaved off. That's a ****ing solid effort mate. I look forward to seeing progress pictures a year from now.

Very good progress. Youve dropped a ton of BF while retaining or even putting on new muscle. Keep it up cause whatever your doing is working.
