A decade of difference

[vmax]

I went to Ruidoso NM with the wife this week.
I haven't been since 2011

When I was there last time I weighed about 340 lbs
This week while I was there I found the big wooden carving of a mountain man that I posed for a photo with back in 2011 and decided to do a before and after type comparison

On the left was this week

55 years old and 245 lbs
On the right I was about 44 years and 340 lbs
Diet and lifestyle matter I guess

If I can do it so can you

Solid work!

 

[Sam7sf]

Good job and keep at it.

Its a great job of losing the weight; but looks like you've also been working out on a regular basis. You're looking in pretty solid shape.
Congrats on doing a great job of taking care of yourself!!

I’m down to 250, which is only 6 lbs down, but I’m 4 belt holes thinner.

 

[striker55]

Good job!

You look younger and the mountain man picked up some new cracks. Nice work.

Yes sir weight training 3-4 times week
Lifting weights is the most anti-aging thing you can do for yourself by far.
Better than any pill or treatment

It forces your body to rebuild itself and shed the old damaged cells

Way to go
That means you are losing fat and keeping muscle!

You are an inspiration.

Actually adding muscle. My shirts fit different.

Mostly in arms and shoulders, but my stomach and back are leaner.

I've been disappointed because I had gotten down to 234, but had some health issues that prevented me from exercising. I think I missed riding my bike the most. It appears that health issue is in check, and I have been slowly getting more active.

this is why we sometimes envy you young guys.

 

[deemus]

"young" is a relative term.

I've been roaming this earth for 6 decades.

Congrats.

The before and after pics are amazing. I didn't know taking off the hat made anyone look thiner. I may have to try that.

5 and 1/2 for me..I ain't that far behind ya!

I got down to 244 last week and now I'll go into maintenance mode awhile.
I still have some left over skin and fat from the old days.
I'm not going to get surgery because its not bothering me physically but I sure would like to see it gone nonetheless

I've been at 168 for a few weeks.
Noticed a few sluggish days.
Added a touch of carbs.
Back to staying active.
Keep up the motivation Vmax!

A lot of hard work to get to where you are, Vmax. Great job. Keep it going!
