Anybody interested in posting just before and after pics?

Most of the other threads are old, or bloated with "you look awesome" and "you go girl!" type comments. It makes it difficult (esp on mobile phones) to dig through to the pics most people are interested in.

I know I would be interested in seeing a condensed "look book"

Depending on your height I have similar stats. I can only hope to have your results!

I was thinking the exact same thing @@QueenOfTheTamazons, those other threads are huge. They really should be restricted to the current year to keep the content current.

My before picture is me at my biggest. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but I know it was over 330:

And this is from a few months ago:

It's too damn cold in the gym to wear a tank top nowadays! I'll have to take a few new ones in the spring.

Great transformation! Can I ask, how was your experience with extra skin? Just curious how the muscle building may impact it...

@@sabrina14339 - well, you can't be as big as I was and not have excess skin issues. My arms and legs for the most part have pretty well filled in with muscle. Same with upper chest and shoulders. However, my lower chest, "belly" and the lower back are pretty bad in my opinion. I could probably go down a size or two in pants if I could afford to have the skin removed. The only health issues I am having are ingrown hairs though. While an inconvenience, it's not enough to put myself into debt since insurance will not cover that.

The way I see it, I'm married and already have two kids AND I am in my 40's. The surgery to remove the skin really won't add anything to my life. Yes it would be nice, but I don't see it happening.

These are my favorite posts. I love seeing how far everyone has come. I'm only 3mos out so no before and afters from me yet.
