6'3" 162lbs- 6"3" 240lbs- current 227lbs New to the forum......go easy...lol

Hey guys

I have kind of lurked on the forum for a while. Really haven't had anything to show as I am far from physically gifted LOL.

I have read a ton over the years. My wife says I am crazy as I research everything. Things are starting to come together and I thought I would finally post.

Have always been the skinny guy and more rescently turned into a 37 year old father that is now the fat skinny guy Ughh!!!! Well that was two years ago when I decided something needed to happen. ( 39 in less than a month )

My wife and I decided to go on a trip to mexico ( first in ten years of marriage ) I looked at myself in the mirror and wondered what the $%^& happened. I was skinny my whole life but my years of neglect had turned me into even more of a disaster that needed to be adressed. And quickly .

So.... no more Mcdonalds, KFC, A@W..... you get the picture. I only ever ate 2 meals a day and it was usually a combination of those.

I have always been active , but I was the perfect ectomorph. As I got older though in more rescent years I noticed the belly growing..... arms getting even skinnier. Shit I looked like ET and I didn't look forward to hitting the beach in Mexico.

Here are a few pictures of my journey so far.

My diet I feel is damn near spot on for the various stages I needed to go through. Remember I could not just lose the fat or I would be grossly skinny and gaining the essential weight required to develop muscles just made me fatter. I think I had the worst shape you could ever want to begin with.

Anyways.......

here are the various stages I have gone through in the past 18 months.


This is me newly married 6"3" 162lbs ( 10 years ago )

Heres the next one 6 years ago @ 168 lbs

Heres the next 3 years ago ( even worse )

Next is getting really unhealthy 198 lbs and mainly in the gut. 37 years old eighteen months ago

Gaining weight begins. Alot of strength training and even more food! . this is 220 lbs and ....... fat !

This was March at my heaviest. so 5 months ago 240 lbs.

An this is after I did a two month cut and more rescently a 3 moth clean bulk. Finally some shape and no real offensive fat.

227 lbs

Pull up your shorts.

good point. ...lol

This one should be better.

Great changes! The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Keep up the hard work...remember this should be a lifestyle not just a passing fad as you've proven,
