Before and After day is here. The seventh photo shoot I am down around 8 pounds from last months photos. Abs are really starting show up nicely and I am really looking good :) This is likely my last month of weight loss since I'm pretty much out of fat to lose. I will be converting over to a muscle gaining regiment around June which I will log the same way I have done my weight loss.
This has been amazing road of weight loss and success. I have learned more about myself and my character and the ability of the human body then I thought I could. While I set out in October to just lose fat and get back into shape. I have ended up changing my entire life from my daily work, sleeping habits, thought process, outlook on life etc. etc. The list goes on. I wish I could share the lessons I have learned about my self. Unfortunately these lessons cannot be taught or explained it can only be learned through experiencing it for yourself.
While this was the toughest thing I have done in recent memory it was also the most rewarding. I am looking forward to challenging myself more in the future to achieve difficult goals.

Man, you are an inspiration. This is an incredible transformation! I have been trying for 4 years to get myself motivated enough to stick with a program, and your blog has finally got me so pumped to just stick with it and get the results. Thanks so much for sharing your success!!

You're site is great, and the part about the outlook on life changing is so very much true. I made a similar transformation going from 235 to 170 (it took me about 2 years though, I also made sacrifices (became vegetarian, watched my calories), but not nearly as organized and focused as you! I worked out 6 days a week instead of 21.
I even talked about the impact of these changes in an interview with McKinsey which worked out pretty well.
The hard part now is living a reasonable lifestyle and keeping it off, and I have been fluctuating btwn 165 to 175 but I'm ok .
I don;t think 235 is ever going to happen again, but good luck with your weight loss - you don't need it, since you clearly built the willpower to keep it off.

3 years later, did you gain anything back? get more cut? Where are you man? If you're still watching, comment back...

Yep I am still here. I have found my most comfortable weight to be at 180-185. I still log everything everyday. I haven't made any updates because this blog was to log my weight loss journey so people could see it done from start to finish. I think if I constantly updated it all of the great weight loss content will be lost in previous posts. As it is now someone can read the whole thing start to finish on one page. Really appreciate the comments from everyone seems this blog has done exactly what I had hoped shown how real weight fat loss can be done without any gimmicks, pills or tricks just a simple plan and dedication.

Hi Tony. Clearly persistence was key in you achieving your goal, and I'm just yet another person inspired by your determination to stick with you regimen. Do you have another blog where you kept track of your muscle mass gaining routine? Would be nice to see the progression of your workouts.

The twenty first century is fraught with many battles, which take a toll on mankind. Stress, wars, and worries, the list is never ending. Perhaps, one of the toughest battles that modern man faces is that of weight loss.
