When I Started:
Jun, 2005
How I Started:
In 2005 I was overweight for my height, I hit the scale at 478 lbs and had a 68 waist. It was time for a change!
Why I Love It:
I started dieting to loose the weight but I needed to tone up without surgery, and bodybuilding has much to offer in building and toning my body where the fat was before.
How I Stay Motivated:
Motivation for me is looking at old photos of the old fat me wearing 68 pants and having a good friend of 25 years who is a bodybuilder and offered his support in training me to build a better body. Now when I look in the mirror I see a more defined guy with a great looking body and it feels great.
BB Accomplishments:
The motivation and support I got from my bodybuilding friend has greatly improved the way I presently look and feel now. Granted his bodybuilding workouts are hard and demanding, he pushs my muscles to the failure point with his tactical torture training and only 15 seconds rest between sets, but the results are mind blowing and have shown a great deal of muscle gains and cuts which I never had before. I can't ask for anything better then this! My accomplishments have almost reached there goal, I've lost 258 lbs of fat, I've taken 30 inches off my waist and I've got Muscles showing instead of fat and all this was done with no surgery, just the determination and motivation that you want to improve your body and health and to obtain the proper supplements to make it all possible.
I might be old in age, but I feel and look younger

I wanted to prove to many of my old fat friends that age dosen't mean a thing if you have determination to loose weight and replace it with some muscle.
Goal (Long):
My friend of 26 yrs is a bodybuilder and I could only look and dream of having a muscular body like his some day, but instead I was 490 pounds of fat with a 72 inch belly and I had no motivation except eat my way into an early grave.
Dreams do come true and thanks to my bodybuilding friend and his determination to motivate me I can now say I have worked hard to activate part of my dream, I've lost 273 lbs and taken 34 inches off my waist with no surgery just hard muscle building workouts and eating right and taking the proper supplements.
Granted his 5 day Tactical Torture Training Workouts are mind blowing,hard,intense,muscle burning but as they say NO PAIN NO GAIN and if you want results you have to work for it, man I'm working my butt off, my determination to obtain muscles has paid off. I look and feel great, granted I don't look like Jay Cutler, but I'm working hard to get cuts and muscles like him some day. Determination and Motivation are the keys for success and now that I'm showing great results I plan to increase my building ability to its maxium stage, besides I like what I see in the mirror and hearing my friends say man your built and cut nicely, where did all that fat go.
The fat is gone, my mind is set on being a bretter looking guys with some muscle hopefuly before I get to old. It now Sept 2009 I will soon turn 64 yrs old, and thanks to my bodybuilding friend Jorge and products I've purchased from Bodybuilding.com I look and feel like I'm 40yrs old.

If you are fat and overweight and your not getting younger in age its not to late to get off your fat butt and get into a gym to start building muscle and loosing that gut for a long life spand ahead of you. Heck I started at the age of 57 now I'm 62 yrs old and I'm in the best shape I've every been and still plan to train and pump iron harder then before. Bodybuilding is not only for the young guys we old timers can do it as well.If you are fat and overweight and your not getting younger in age its not to late to get off your fat butt and get into a gym to start building muscle and loosing that gut for a long life spand ahead ...more
