Hi all,

How are you all doing ? my name is Zak, and yes this is my 1st post, although I've been a member Of this beautiful forum for almost 1 year now, and I thought now would be a good time to post some Of the Progress I had with this diet, with your help Ofcourse.

This is me when I started - 300 Pounds




2 months Later



Me in month 4 - 260 pounds



Unfortunaely, I didn't stick to the diet, So now am back to Pic 1

This my brother @ 340 Pounds - You can actually see & feel the pain in His eyes




Halfway through + My little brother



This is Him @ 200 Pounds - After 1 year




I just wanna say thank you all, and let you know that although there are people like me who dont post much, we actually benefit alot from your experiences, thank you

Also, sorry for the Large pics, is there a way to resize them ?


Kind regards,
Zak

Thanks for being the first one to say it. I thought it. I was gonna say, "Man, this brother is FIIIINE!" but I didn't want to give the wrong idea and come across like a stalker. (smile)

Re: Hi all, my 1st post with pictures included

Hello everyone, Thank you all for your comments and motivation, Last year I heard about atkins diet from my brother Zak and started since then.. And to be honest, I never wanted anyone to watch those photos I had when I was a 396 Pounds guy it was a living nightmare for me and im glad that it came to an end.


But since my brother Zak shared those photos, I'd like to share one with you all so you can see the difference I made.

(Before 396/ After 191 pounds)



I got some looseskin here and there and i'm trying to find a solution for it without trying the surgical way.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks for posting those pics. I don't post much either but your post and everyone elses is a huge help. Remember, if you did it once then you can do it again. When your ready I know you'll make it happen just like you did the first time.

Re: Hi all, my 1st post with pictures included

Tinytin those pictures really show the difference you made. I'm not sure about the skin. I know weight training and getting as low a body fat as you can help as well as time. Also make sure you are eating enough good fats since you skin needs it for repair. I have loose skin from having twins and I admit that there are fat deposits between the scar tissue making it appear worse. So for me just loosing weight won't be enough, I will also have to work on becoming lean so my skin will have a better chance to repair and re-glue itself to my muscles etc the way it it supposed to. There are a couple threads on loose skin so you might do a google. But honestly, you lost 205 pounds in a year!!!! it may get better but it probably won't get to the point it would with surgery.
