Before.

I was at 210 lbs and ate terrible all the time, I was also into drinking and just overall did not care. After looking in the mirror the night I took this pic I decided I was over it and wanted a change.

4 months after

170lbs. I have lost 40 lbs in the course of 4 months. I have changed my eating habits, no more fast food, I've been sober for 3 months. The only liquid I take in is water now. I am no where near what I want to be but I feel so much better both physically and mentally. I had my reservations about posting this but wanted to show that you can lose weight and get into shape if you put your mind to it. It has not been easy to get to this point but it has been worth it for me. There's a trend in my family for the males to have early heart attacks. I'm trying to stop this trend by making myself healthier. Thanks for taking your time to look at this and hopefully it can motivate you.

EDIT:

I have had some people ask what exactly I did to drop so quickly so heres the best I can do with sharing.

During the first 2 months it was nothing but treadmill, I stopped eating fast food and junk food, stopped drinking soda and beer, and only drink water from now on.

Treadmill Monday through Friday and running on the road on the weekends.

Diet: I started off only with Water, For Breakfast I eat 2 eggs and possibly steak if I have it for Protien.

For Lunch and dinner it was different variations of grilled chicken and veggies.

I did this for the first 2 months and dropped weight fast.

Fast forward to now. I am on a low to no carb diet. On this diet you can eat as much meat as you want, I eat at least 6 times a day but no or little carbs! I do this 6 days a week with a dedicated cheat day where you can have whatever you want, but make this on a day where you want to work out the hardest.

I make sure to take in 1 gram per pound of body weight in protein, through meats and whey drinks. Just be careful of carbs if you are wanting to lean up.

When you don't take in carbs your body finds fat to burn, its not good to do this forever but its okay for a while especially on your cheat days you want a lot of carbs to continue to fool your body.

I have just started lifting about a month and a half ago so its imperative to consume large amounts of protein.

My biggest advice is to change your diet, Instead of eating 3 big meals eat 6 smaller ones, and make the meals relatively healthy or it won't work. Chicken and fish is your friend, along with low carb salads (no dressing) and low carb veggies. Just watch out because even a lot of fruits are packed with carbs. My best advice is to get a macro tracker and be truthful with what you put down or it does no good. Thank you for all the kind replies, Ill try to reply to everyone, if you have a specific question about supplements or anything else I will answer for you. Thanks!

EDIT:

So apparently out of this whole website one guy is continuing to stalk me and call me out as being a liar. If you don't think this is real thats fine no big deal because I have no way to prove otherwise besides my word. But please don't stalk my inbox and continue to bash me because you don't believe me, that just makes you look really bad. All we have is our word so take mine how you will but I am not a liar and never will be. You can see results by putting in hard work, I guess some people just don't get that so its easier to call someone they don't know a liar and continue to send them ridiculous messages. If you do this I will block you. I will be nice for a while but I can only take so much. This is for inspiration and motivation, not for your hate. Thank you

Oh daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! Good for you, you look great!!
