Post your weight loss pics here! (Page 4)

Wow!  So that's what you look like!  Good to finally "see" you, Nole!

Beware of the "After After" pics...

I was at about 228 when I closed the arcade almost 3 years ago. Got down to as low as 183 or so right after I spent a month in Phoenix. (Lost 10 pounds there from a combination of few large meals and a bit of dehydration.)  Hovering at about 197-200 lately.

That's what happens when you get busy and the workouts slide away. I have been doing a lot more running lately, but it doesn't seem to be as slimming as the swimming and biking.

A few days ago I signed up for a challenge on SlowTwitch to do 72 workout sessions in 2 months.  (Sessions at least 3 mile runs, 12 mile bikes and 1200 yard [?!?] swims.)  I decided to start taking photos every night thinking maybe at some point I can get an interesting time-lapse put together or something.

Um, last night...sigh...

These are amazing!  Wonderful work by everyone.  I do not have the before and after yet, but started back in January of 2011 and up to this point I have lost 40lbs and counting, currently at 195, goal is to get back to my High school Basketball weight of 175.

Wow! Great pics everyone. I hope to be able to put some up come summer time? Feel rather disappointed, spent from January 2010 to June training for my 1st HIM, thought I was doing pretty good I went from 238 to 222, but then I saw a pic of me in my tri suit, I'm lucky i wasn't arrested for indecent exposure! Back surgery shortly after that race and gained the weight right back. I'm going to really focus on running this winter and hopefully that will knock off the pounds?

Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!!!

faded memories, I feel you man.  I have too many yo-yo episodes and a new excuse for every one.  I am determined for this to be my last.  In a sick way, the new IM Kona legacy rule may actually keep me from yo-yoing too much.  I am nearly 35 and would like to do Kona before I am 45, so if I can't qualify outright, I am going to need to pack several IMs into the 10 years.  

This thread is incredible.  Absolutely one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen.

Impressive results in such a short time... and if I may say so... HOT.

I suppose that there's a natural assumption that SBR was the means to weight loss. For me, it was pure weight training and fixing my diet. I did zero cardio aside from recreational hiking, mountain biking, and swimming.

I started triathlon and running last year just for fun and have since lost much of my upper body muscle. The next few months are going to be nothing but running and weights.

Yes, this.  I lost weight from diet and exercise.  Once I started getting injured (running) I fell into crosstrainig (swim and bike) and well, as long as I was doing all three....  I would say I've only lost 5-8kg from SBR. 

Here are my weight loss photos. Loss 65 pounds in less than 1 yea. My heaviest was 255 lbs, now at 185.

Well, I found a comparison picture and I'm really surprised at how much I've changed.  Until this thread, since I have been losing weight at a very slow rate (and have 4 kids, you know you have NO FREE time with those little distractions ) I never really realized how much I've changed.  So thanks for this thread!

^^^ Nice "Scarlett Johansson" shot!

I love these threads!  It's so inspiring to see the amazing journeys that we all embark on!  I've posted these pics before but I'll share them again.  I hope I can inspire some one out there!

Before: 225lbs

After: 145lbs

Thanks!  The older I get, the less s/b/r tones me.  Actually, I think the only thing that tones me is strength training.  I do s/b/r because of course, that's what does burn the calories.   When there's all the debate on here about whether or not to ST, there's no debate for me (but I don't do ST for athletic performance).

Before- 2007 around 235

After- 2011 183

I hardly recognize myself in older pictures.  Alot of people I see who have not seen me for a few years hardy recognize me as well.

WOW!!  those are amazing!  I especially like your kit - SO PRETTY!    Where was the triathlon?

Picture 1 - at punk rock picnic in April of 2010, a whopping 270 lbs

Picture 2 - August 2011, 190 lbs after three tri's this summer

Funny thing is, I feel better training and racing now than I did when I raced a couple of tri's in the 80's?

Lots of great before and afters, I'm amazed at some people's progress in such little time!  I've been doing this for a bit over a year now and haven't seen the improvements some see in 6 months!  I'm sure they're more dedicated than me though!

before: 2009  (not much changed through mid-2010:

 

after: summer 2011, chattanooga waterfront, lot of training (but amazingly still losing weight and toning with less effort...?)
 

what i find amazing is how much happier and healthier everyone looks in the after photos, no matter what they're doing!  

Everyone here looks fantastic!!!  You should be very proud of yourselves.   WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am seriously impressed at the transformations depicted here.  Congratulations- all of you.

2007:  6'4" 225-230lbs pack-a-day smoker for >15 years...the night I met some random chick in a pink beanie and my life changed for better (she told me about this whole "Ironman" thing, and oh yeah, we eventually married!)

2010:  Down to 205lbs with a miserable feeling 1:24:xx sprint finish

2011:  Down to 179lbs and a 12:07:xx IMC finisher (with father-in-law, wife, and friend)

I know many have said this already, but I can't read this thread and not comment.

You guys are amazing! Congratulations to you. I have found my inspiration for the offseason.

Way to go!
