Transformation almost complete -Thanks AF

LanT · 07-10-2008, 12:13 PM

Three years ago after my second child's birth and being newly sober for a year I ballooned up to 274 and 31% body fat. It was then that I knew something had gone seriously wrong I was alway a kinda big guy. 215 lbs - 6' is what I had always been until that year when my system just went haywire and I started packing on pounds. Wasn't so much my system as my overeating to deal with the stresses of being a father again, and trying to come to terms with not drinking.

Anyway a year later I found Elite and then 6 months after that I found AFBoard and more importantly the members and discussions on the AFBoard. The reason I'm blathering on about all of this is that I had myself dunked in the BF tank again last week and I came in at 11% BF 208 lean pounds and an overall weight of 231. I actually do have abs after all

I just wanted to stop back in, been crazy busy lately, and say thanks to all and the board as a whole.

Good job my man, keep pushing forward!

Biter · 07-10-2008, 05:48 PM

LanT, congratz man!! It's good to see someone right ahead of me - it must feel awesome to get there. Inspiring to know that it can be done

I'm a little behind you - 212, have about 10 lbs to go to hit the mark I wanted. Very close.

Do you have any fitness goals beyond that? I'd love to hear what you plan on doing next.

Ulter · 07-10-2008, 07:08 PM

Thanks for posting your results Bro. Congrats!

fite4$ · 07-10-2008, 07:14 PM

Congrats to you. I hope other "before's" will be inspired by you.

Congrats Biter it can be done. I'm still about 10 lbs away from where I want to be. Unfortunatly to lose that 10 I"ll probably lose 3 or 4 of muscle. 11% BF is pretty good for me but I seem to hold all my fat in the middle of my body, I can see abs when I flex them but it'd be nice just to have 'em all the time.

I've been hit with the injury bug lately (ruptured disc, banged up shoulder, upper back spasms) I've been hitting the gym pretty lightly but still go 4 or 5x week. I've been thinking about some short (mini) triathlons to see if I enjoy it or not. I'd have to lose some bulk if I got into it seriously. May have to have another shoulder surgery soon so everything is up in the air.

Way to kill it Lan. AF is a great place to be and get support. I love this place for that. I mean we have fun here, but we also learn alot about training, diet, etc.

So happy for you dude

Big Sky Guy · 07-11-2008, 01:07 PM

Congrats on all of the above bro! Early sobriety can really be an emotional wreck and I am glad you are winning one day at a time!

Hidngod · 07-11-2008, 01:24 PM

Congratulations, man. Great news.

trivial · 07-11-2008, 03:12 PM

Awesome job! And your wife is a knockout, even with the just-had-a-baby tummy.

thedreamthief · 07-11-2008, 03:17 PM

Truly an inspiration. You have a strong mind and will. Now you have a great set of abs to match

You have a beautiful family. I am envious
