Photo Update
It’s been over a month since I last posted an update with photos. I was very diligent with the picture taking until I got down to the point where I started losing fat at a more conservative 1lbs/week rate. There was just really no point in posting an update since then. But I’m still tracking my progress and ultimate body composition goal based on looks so I’m going to stick with the one photo session a month plan until I get there. So here is June’s photo, taken on June 1st. It is not much lighter than May 1st, only 4.7 lbs (2.2 kg), but it clearly shows.
I’m definitely in the home stretch now. My veins are popping out on both my bicep now without flexing, my legs are getting really lean with strong definition in them, you can see details in my shoulders now, my back is certainly coming along nicely and finally I think my abs will start showing soon.
If you ask my wife she’d tell you that I not only finished my transformation but already ran the victory lap and started another race altogether which she’s not a big fan of. She thinks I’m getting way too skinny and there is just not enough meat on my bones. Well we just have to agree to disagree and hopefully once my transformation is complete in my eyes as well she’ll like the final results.

I think us dropping fat brings out insecurity in others. But that shouldn’t stop us from making our bodies into the best performing machines possible. This series of shots is excellent. You’re healthy and fit. I get similar input from others. I had a guy confront me at work on Friday implying that I had an eating disorder. 2000 calories a day is not a disorder of course. It may be unusual for formerly fat people to keep on going this long, I can appreciate. Blogging has been a big element in my ongoing efforts. My goal is an athletic state, muscular even. And I am not there yet. So we keep going. Good job Greg.

You’re a beast! I have a ways to go to be where you’re at now, but I’m young still. :p
Luckily I haven’t had very many naysayers as David mentions, my sister is a little blunt but I shut her down before she could go on with her criticism. She has since learned though and is happy with my progress.
All the best,
Jay
