Before and After

Hi everyone! Well I have FINALLY built up the courage to put together a before and IN-PROGRESS photo collage of myself. I HOPE this works!! Please be gentle. This isn't the MOST recent pic but I'm only truly 2 lbs lower than the pic I put up! My BEFORE and February 2012 In-Progress Pics I apologize for all those...

Back in March 2009 I was surfing the Internet looking for new ideas on how to loose weight and I stumbled upon Tim Ferris' blog. As they say the rest is history... Fall 2007 December 2008 at 348 Pounds December 2010 at 260 Pounds Here is a pic that I took last weekend Right now I am about 5 pounds or...

...the food that drops off your fork discovers a previously non-existent gap to fall BETWEEN your boobs and further down inside your top!!! It's a silly milestone I know but I feel like it's a major triumph. I no longer have a 'shelf' on my chest to catch everything!!!! Anyone else got a personal milestone story?

I've been carrying around the book and I've been reading it here and there. However I haven't started anything. I don't need to loose weight but I need to get the belly fat down. How did you start? What Motivated you all to begin? It seem very overwhelming. I have told other's about the book and its a good read.

I arrived at day 30 today and I feel amazing. I have lost 8 lbs. 5 being the past week finally and 6.75 inches 1 off both thighs 1/4 off both arms 2.75 off waist and 1.5 off hips. I have adjusted the diet to fit me a little better over the past 30 days. I cut way back on the beans and I only eat them at one mea...

I started the SCD just over 3 months ago and have reached my goal. I have had amazing success - I have lost 7kg and 4BF. I now weigh a healthy 60kg bodyfat down from 14 to 10 - caliper 4 point method. I look and feel fantastic. I am never hungry and have more energy than ever. I am in the best shape of my life. And i...

Here's my final results of my 4-week adventures in Geek to Freak-Land. It's been a crazy month of pill-popping milk guzzling protein overdosing and iron-pumping and loved every moment of it all. Last night just in time for my 1-month anniversary I finally was able to my goal to complete 1 pull-up from a dead hang wit...

I am done with 30 days Laura's sixpack'd sprint. Sure photos look good and all but what they did not told me is that I will feel like million bucks. I wIll take week off and then repeat whole thing. In Laura I believe. For those that dont know what i am talking about read here http//4hourpeople.com/question/2667/s...

I'm 7 weeks in and have lost 2 inches on my waist 7 lbs on the scale and the results are noticeable. They're not drastic changes but noticeable. So why am I doubting that this SCD along with the Building the Perfect Posterior is working? I look at my 'before picture and it's not that different' but clothes fit better peopl...

Hi all- In the last 3 years through various diet/exercise methods before 4HB/SCD including South Beach and just general increased exercise Ive lost over 65 pounds. However generally Ive been stalled for the last 2 years with one random 15 pound loss in about 2 months in the middle of those 2 years. In the las...

I've been avoiding looking at the before photos but I'm at the point where I want to to avoid backsliding during the new year. I'm not doing the scary underwear photos in case people I know stumble across them and I don't have the full dramatic changes of some of you but I'm happy with the changes I've seen since I started...

Hi All. I've been on SCD since about mid-April. I haven't been keeping track of inches or lbs rather I've just been going by how stuff fits. As long as my pants are getting bigger I'm happy! In the past month I have started Kettlebell Swings and Jogging. So far I am down three sizes and I think around 22 lbs. The photo o...

I was on the 4 hour body quest but I suppose I wasnt too consistent or committed. I saw the weight loss but but I plateau after cheat day. This time around I'm heading for a weekend trip with a couple of my boyfriend's friends. I want to feel good about myself around them cos I don't want them to think that my boyfriend is a...

I did a post on my blog last week of my 100 days progress. I started with the slow carb diet but did a bunch of research did some experimentation and made modifications as I went. Getting close to my goal of 10BF.

I'm at Week 10.5 I'm doing 10 day cycles between Cheat Days now. I weighed and measured myself this morning. I am at 131.4 lbs and 16.4 BF. Apparently compared to Week 9 I am up 1.2 lbs but down about an inch in tape measurements and down 1.3 in BF. And I am also dealing with my TOM so I'm bloated. No matter how buff I...

Today I officially made the 30 day mark on the plan. As I am finishing up my fifth week I wanted to reply and add some encouragement because the last two weeks I have been discouraged but now am excited again. I understand that Tim says the program kicks in for women between week 4 and 5. I am a 52 year old women 5'1"....

Nothing as dramatic as the lovely Akane but I finally got my butt into my skivvies and figure out how to work the timer in my camera. Tomorrow is my Week 9 Cheat Day! Week 6 was my last progress blog. I decided to start having cheat days every week and half instead of weekly. So far I've done 2 cycles. The first 10 day c...

Believe it or not until I had pictures taken I could NOT see any change in myself. The scales and the tape measure said I was changing but I just couldn't "see" it. I really recommend taking pictures like these to confirm. Start Date December 29th 2010 - weight 93.3 kg 205.6lbs - body fat 45.3 horrifying! Pictures ta...

So i started at 200lbs before starting the four hour body. I didn't measure my body fat just because for one I totally believed that this diet would work and also I could tell i was losing body fat just by the way my clothes started to fit. My first mistake i made on this diet was doing steak for lunch and beef for dinner ...

Hello my fellow SCD teammates Long story short I started at 215lbs and I am now 183lbs. I followed the diet pretty strictly and went nuts on my cheat day. 700am wake up 710 am- protein shake in the shower standard process SP complete diary free shake and morning vitamins 1200pm 2 chicken breasts 2 cups of...

I seem to have settled into a groove as far as the diet and exercise go. I am now doing 80-100 kb swings three times a week. Still working on my left/right imba...

I have been faithful the the SCD since that day and I am pleased to report that my weight this morning was 237.8 pounds and my load glucose fasting or not is never above 109 and is ...

Ive been on the Last Mile for the couple of weeks to see if I could get from 16.4 to 15BF. I gave myself a deadline of 3 weeks to do it because I know from past experience that Im not very good on low carb diets. Luckily it took half the time I expected when I reached 15.2 BF. Im calling it a success!!! To celeb...

Hey Guys! Just thought I'd share my story. The more the merrier right? One day in late April I tipped the scales at 120kg 265 lbs. I'm around 185cm 6'1" and a solid build. In my youth I was pretty active with sports but now at 41 I don't do much - infact the last 4 mths specifically has been 100 exercise free no...

I've seen a lot of amazing stories and journeys as of late and they are very inspirational to not just me but to others here working toward their goals. I want to share my story. Just some background Until 5 years ago I was the stereotypical American kid. Since I was young I was made fun of because of my weight and ...

Started with 99.5 kg 220 pounds I'm on 92 kg right now 202 pounds. I wanted to get to 90kg 198 pounds and lose roughly 10 kg but as I'm seein...

The title says it all. I just made some tweaks to the regimen and fat just disappeared. Full diet plan on request. I was 12st 8lbs now 11st 9lbs. Keep going everyone!

For those of you in the muscle building phase and following Geek-to-Freak or Occam's protocol I recommend taking before & after photos to track your results. I'm ecstatic about my results I started the Geek-to-Freak protocol only 12 days ago after successfully losing 15lbs in 3 weeks from the slow-carb diet and check me ...

Yesterday was my 30th day of tracking my weight I started the slow carb diet on May 17 at 275.6 lbs and weighed in this morning at 256.8. Yes the scale reads an 18.6 lb loss. However the moment I started working out a little harder doing Jiu Jitsu and Kettlebell exercises I nearly plateaued in my weight loss. Pret...

So I'm posting these here as an incentive to get my arse straight into gear again after indulging over the week in lieu of my time of the month. As you can see there is very minimal change in the photographs after four weeks and I have lost very little on the scale 2lbs. However I think that this is because a I have...

I completed what I consider to be Round 1 of my 4HB journey. The goal was to drop fat and tone muscle without converting into anything I couldn't maintain long-term. Overall I was pleased with the results -- and have started Round 2 this week. Stats from Round 1 Weight 235.0 lbs. to 201.8 lbs. BMI 33.72 to 28.96...

Greetings 4HB People So I'm on the second week of the 4hb. I ate cookies and pizza on cheat day and have been following the diet as close as my budget allows. Ok I cheated with popcorn a bit. I don't do the scale thing because I gain muscle fast and I know that you gain weight on cheat day so I take pictures a few tim...

Hi Just started the 4 hour body plan a couple of days ago and was wondering if the progress is slower for some people. I am 5 ft 7 and weigh 129 and it is REALLY hard for me to drop weight. I have been mainly eating vegetables an fruit and still haven't lost much. Going to start the before and after photos today. 3 day...

Howdy folks So my aim was to gain weight cos I was seriously skinny. I'm still very thin but not as sickly thin as before and I feel so much better physically and mentally. I thought it was about time I uploaded some pics of my first ever successful diet. I probably could have done better but I'm proud of the results. ...

Update 2/3/12 - replaced pictures. Not sure how long it's been off hand but added the most recent picture. UPDATE! It's almost 6 months for me now I just turned 26 and I was actually a bit surprised to realize I've been at it this long. I really am getting comfortable with eating like this and I don't see myself endin...

Hi guys Finally got my act together and took some 'after' pictures. Seen some pretty dramatic results from this over a 4 week period.
