On January the 20 of this year, I was sitting I my room getting ready to eat my mcdonalds cheeseburger. I was about to take a bite, when it hit me and I said to my self out loud "God did not breath life into my lungs to sit on my fat ass all day and eat". So I got up with out taking one bite and tossed it in the garbage, were it belonged. And then right out the door I went for a long run. Anyway try not to make fun of my fat ass more then you have to please lol

[JETHRO TULL]

GREAT WORK!

You are making terrific progress. You have everything to be proud of...and nothing to be embarrassed about.

That moment when you said- Enough! That was a great story.

Excellent work Thumper!!!!!!! One question.....what was your motivation?
Dont forget the legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They carry you and a house is only as strong as its foundation.

 

[blackwaterpain]

Clean up around your house.

Just kidding! Nice transformation.

 

[Physick]

Good job man! That's a cool story about having a turning point like that where you just say no more. A lot of people could learn from that. Keep up the good work. Believe me, it's worth it.

 

[speedbacker]

Well for the most part, it had just been building up in me for a long time. Seeing myself in the mirror just made me sick and never getting the girl was also a big down side. I always saw the guy's in flex magazine and wanted to look just like them. So I am not really sure what made it happen but I just kind of snapped all at once. I joined the gym the very next day after my first run.

The gym has become my home, gym member's are my family, weights & treadmill my psychiatrist, chicken, tuna, salmon, turkey and brown rice have become my new best friend's. I feel like my life is getting better by the day, still I have only taken a baby step to what I hope to be a very long journey. I don’t even care how long or far this journey take's me, I love this new life style of mine.


My next goal is to get my abs to show for the first time in my life! After that build myself back up to 185 with a six pack. I will just take one goal at a time. It seem's that as soon as I meet a goal of mine I end up making a new one lol So you should get used to me hanging around because I will be on here for years to come, I am sure of it

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, it really means a lot to me.

 

[Nikopapp]

Great determination and work, you must be feeling fantastic!

 

[ThumperIV]

Just kidding! Nice transformation.

hahaha Yeah, I blame my room mate because I am never home anymore. And when I get home well ok, I am just to lazy to pick up lol Point still taken

 

[thebrick]

great story!

And a great 6 month transformation! Just think in another 6 months… you will look even better! You are on the right road, keep it up! I sure know when I feel good about the way I look, my confidence is higher too.

 

[STEVO 47]

Nice transformation. At least you were man enough to post pic's.
Some of these guys come up with excuses like I don't have a camera
or I don't know how to post pictures, (Whoops that me )

 

[oldfella]

[jon123123]

send PHIL HERNON a PM and get a diet plan from him, he will take your transformation to a whole other level in a very short period of time, trust me on this, for the money you spend you get way more than you should from him
