Can we get a progress thread going? And do you guys think it would it be possible for me to have an ottermode figure by May-June? 6ft if that matters.
>tfw can finally do a fair amount of pull ups >tfw close to six minute mile again >tfw don't feel like a piece of shit everday anymore >tfw still so far from my goal
Good job losing the weight man, time to start lifting and building some muscle.
Anthony Fisher
I started Starting Strength a few weeks ago
170 BP 2 Plate squat 2 plate Deadlift 100 OHP
Not much, but once I'm down to 160-170 (depends on how I look at 170) I plan to start eating at a surplus. Should I just stick with SS until I reach 4/3/2/1 Or are the potentially better options? I am really dedicated to putting in work next semester in terms of lifting so I want to make sure that have the most effective routine even though I'm probably being paranoid and I should just fucking lift.
Chase Wood
You're looking good man, great job. How tall are you?
Also, did your man boobs go away?
Gabriel Bailey
They're definitely getting real close to being pecs and not man boobs, but there's still some work to be done. I figure once I'm down to 160 or 170 I'll be pretty skelly. I'm like 6 ft.
Tyler Thompson
Yeah, mine sorta look like what yours used to look like, and I'm kinda worried its gyno, but you're look fine. I'm probably worrying for nothing. Anyways, keep up the good work bro.
Jonathan Morris
I have been really lucky with stretch marks and loose skin, I don't really know why. It's not like I lost the weight slowly, either.
Brody Price
If 55555 get we all make it brahs
Dylan Carter
breh
Anthony Johnson
Im pretty sure there are better options user like texas method or 5/3/1 but im not an expert
William Howard
wow your body actually handled the loose skin really well. if you start to bulk and build muscle you should fill out really nice. well done friendo
Carson Bailey
Keep up the good work bro.
I weight in tomorrow for the week. Didn't move the scale last week, but I've been dropping 2lbs/week otherwise. Hoping for 214 tomorrow. Down from 230 on the left and 255 at the start.
Jackson Rogers
Guess I'll post mine. Took around 4 years. 5'9" 240->170->185 How'd I do?
Wyatt Bell
Nce tits
Caleb Ortiz
Just started but so far progress has been alright. Since mid October, I'm down from 255 to 241 and I've gotten a bit stronger.
My main focus is on become a not-fat but I'm hoping to get the muscles going too. For the first month I pretty much just did kettlebell workouts a bit of a diet. For the last month I've split between kettlebell workouts, elliptical, and random bullshit machine lifting at the apartment """gym."""
Started SL yesterday so hopefully I'll start making better strength gains in addition to getting rid of the weight. Think it is possible to drop to 215 by the end of May while still making significant improvements on my lifts?
I really need to start counting calories...
Kevin Gutierrez
noob here, is it standard to take progress pics b4 or after working out?
Jason Smith
I'm similar to your before pic, but I'm down to 260 from 310 at 6'3.
Thanks for posting pic. Brings me hope.
Lucas Wright
Did you get any loose skin?
Brayden Murphy
How much do you want to kid yourself?
Dominic Jones
...
Connor Morris
Very nice my man. It looks like your belly stretch marks got worse though, unless that's just hair
Robert Jackson
couple year difference, maybe 1 year of actual lifting.
Lincoln Evans
If you look at the second picture you can tell my tits are kinda floppy. But I slowly filled it in with muscle.
Jason Butler
I only been dancing to kpop and starving myself LOL. But I want to try bodybuilding competition prep soon :)), I am 220lbs in left pic and 190lbs in second!
Oliver Nguyen
i mean obviously both pics need to be the same, either b4 or afters, but what's standard?
Joseph Perry
Congrats man, you're looking real well.
Jaxon Taylor
Nothing too crazy 130-160
Hunter Kelly
what do you do for traps brehbreh?
Logan Turner
Did...did I lose weight?
Josiah Rodriguez
>tfw 130 BP >1 1/2 plate squat >2 plate deadlift >80 OHP >After 2 months of SS Never going to make it
Daniel Miller

Aaron White
Posted this before. Quit drinking and cleaned up my diet
Mason Morgan
Im sitting at 217lbs atm, and I'm trying my best to be under 210 by my birthday. God I just want my belly to be gone.
Ryan Johnson
motivating well done boys we're all gonna make it
Ryan Gomez
>5'7" / 171 cm >180 pounds to 140 pounds It's taken about 5 months to lose that much through mostly jogging. I am looking to get to 125 lbs so I don't have a stomach anymore. I was planning to hit 125 in December but I forgot about winter and how I wouldn't be able to jog any more. Trying to keep myself doing a daily indoor calisthenics workout but I am slipping. Wish me luck for the winter, guys!
Kevin Perez
I just wanna look swole as fuck
realistically what should my weight be if I'm 5'8"?
Cooper Roberts
My 1.5 years natty progress
Justin Ward
Am I doing bulk + cut right?
Asher Scott
nice.
Dylan Parker
Out of curiosity, what did you guys do to lose weight so quickly?
Over 80lbs in 6-7 months seems really impressive.
Nathan Thompson
Keep it up bros im really proud of you guys.
I just wish there was some kind of workout to improve your mental health, because that is keeping me down.
Jordan Collins
answer his question, I'm in your starting point, just slightly more muscular, I got a gut the size of a large watermelon with stretch marks, no boobs or much fat anywhere else.
Nathaniel Clark
Oh I don't know. Be incredibly overweight?
Tyler Myers
Congrats on the progress user. You and I are in almost exactly the same boat. I'm nearly the same height at 6'1" and I just got my cut down to 185 lbs as well, hoping to get to 160 before I bulk up. But now I'm wondering why 185 on me looks so much fatter/bulkier than on you.. kek
My SS lifts so far are 140 bench 255 squat 285 deadlift 85 overthehead The Press
Jonathan Russell
230->170 Gonna fit the gym in my routine starting January
What's your diet like from 170->185?
Cameron Butler
if ur op could u tell us at what percentage u were cutting from ur tdee? cuz it is incredibly fast desu
Aiden Barnes
Dude, in 2017 your arms are literally gonna dissappear
Jaxson Lee
I lost 41lbs around 4 months. >portion control >avoid the sugar jew >run for at least an hour most days a week (i've gotten it down to just one rest day a week) >caffeine (coffee/first sip) gl
Henry Barnes
>caffeine (coffee/first sip)
explain
Nolan Stewart
I went from obese class 3 to class 1 yay I guess...?
You're doing extremely well, keep it up. I started similar weight, similar height, my body looks just like yours. my goal at 5'10 is 160, you might be looking at ~150 maybe? Although 170 is looking leaner than I'd expect you to be, depends on your lean mass. My goal is to get sub 10% and build from that.
How long's it taken you?
Elijah Wilson
Will I look ok by normie standards if I cut?
David Bell
Well, you're definitely on the right tracks.
Noah Rivera
I haven't a clue. I should really keep track, but if I had to guess (and I'm dumb on this subject), it'd probably say less than 1K p/day. I just stopped eating a ton of shit and started prepping food for two/three day meals.
Sebastian Lopez
post your diet, work out program and are you natty?
Cameron Rogers
yeah i need more info on this. i want to drop the flab before i pack on the muscle.
Jose Smith
how tall are u? and how much do u weigh on the right?
Wyatt Wood
5'9-'10 not sure exactly. Weigh 175lbs.
Lifts are around 1/2/3/4 for one or two reps
Carter Moore
I'm 5'10, stuck at 64kg, it's getting harder and harder to lose weight. Any guess at what bf% I'm at?
Anyone here also feels like obese landwhale even though they lost a shit tone of lbs? I feel like I have a huge belly still, and am pretty embarrassed by it.
Kevin Cruz
You have zero muscle mass. That's why you still feel like a fat ass.
Landon King
I'm 5'11 at 75kg and have a similar body profile to you at 64kg.
Funny how much fluctuation things like muscle mass and such cause.
Try to lift some weights next time.
Justin White
thanks, i should start lifting soon
yeah, i have a friend that is almost 5'11, and he has 74kg, and it looks leaner than me, and he doesn't lift and doesn't do cardio also. Genetics is really crazy.
Adam Sullivan
>go from 308lbs to 264lbs >even took photos >almost no difference in appearance, only feel better JUST
Lucas Gutierrez
Keep grinding it out user. You are doing good.
Christian Torres
thanks for the encouragement it means a lot to me
Gavin Jones
Your gut has much less sag and your tits have reduced.
Your legs probably show a big difference too but I'm guessing you're still wearing 3xl shit.
Also looks like your back tits are slimming.
Xavier Carter
>3xl heh not to brag about it but my current t-shirt is 5XL
Jason Foster
Keep going. Height?
Matthew Roberts
6"
Camden Stewart
6'3
Josiah Cooper
These stories always touch my heart
Joseph Murphy
No Isolation, just deadlifts and locking out my OHP I already didNot great, I eat whatever I want just more when I'm bulking and less when I'm cutting. See above for diet, my workout program is an upper lower split. I don't follow a specific program I just do whatever I want each day. Overall consistency and intensity are far more important than a perfect diet and program.
Jaxon Lopez
And yes I'm natty. Not even creatine.
Jayden Thomas
still didnt answer if you were natty or not
Julian Reyes
...
Justin Wood

Colton Johnson
>manlets >when will they learn?
Jackson Bailey
disgusting, fat incel to skinny fat incel. you look like a numale cuck man up
Bentley Perez
The difference is pretty noticeable here. Your gut is a lot smaller
Kevin Powell
...
Jayden Diaz
Do you have to use the kiddy urinals or do you use a stool?
Asher James
Postan 6'1
been eating 1700 calories for too long i believe. weight loss has been pretty slow seeing as i fuck it up on my maintenance days. i've been doing stronglifts for a little over a month now, I'm going to move my calories to 2000 and go from there. no more maintenance days, they're slowing up my progress too much.
Dylan Parker
I'll be bulking for another 6 months. Pic related.
Adrian King
...
Jack Jackson
Oh look it's almost 1 pm.
Cooper Rogers
150 sounds pretty light to me, I wanna be fridgemode
my 250-150 cut took me 9 months my 150-170 bulk took me about 4 months
Nolan Sullivan
gj!
Brandon Morris
5'11 125->165
Lincoln Davis
you didn't do a front pic cause you feel like your arms are still small,right?or maybe your lats who knows nice progress anyways
Michael Martin
Amazing job. How long did this take?
David Howard
If anything my arms are out of proportion, I just decided to be an angle douche is all.
Too long, about 2.5 years. Been stagnant around same weight for a long time just doing mini-bulks and mini-cuts. Bout to push myself to 185 this winter.
Michael Lewis
how did leaving the skellington life feel like?
Easton Stewart
I get the same feels sometimes as a fat person might losing weight. People treat me differently and if I stop and think about that sometimes its kind of overwhelming, people are very shallow and it's a little different actually experiencing it.
Overall though, best decision of my life, you'll be way more confident. However, you'll forever still feel small, so in the end it's a lifelong push to get huge.
Kevin Anderson
That's great man,and yes people are shallow.
I've put on 35 lbs and still feel skinny sometimes,did you get past that point where you feel skinny?
