TankOnTwoLegs Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 http://i58.tinypic.com/2qklyxz.png Two years between the two pictures. On the left, I was a year into recovering from a five year long binge eating disorder. I ate everything not nailed down and got to 255lbs. The one on the right was taken today at around 205 and is the result of an ovo-lacto vegetarian lifestyle. Can't wait to see where being a full on vegan will take me. I guess you could say I went from an infantry "tank" to a cruiser "tank." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Woah!! Massive weight loss dude, really impressive! You should start a training journal on the forum, I would follow your journey for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankOnTwoLegs Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks for the kind words. I've been thinking about doing a journal, I just have to organize my training in between work and family life. Right now I'm just being active but nothing structured yet. I'm getting there though.

TankOnTwoLegs Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 http://i61.tinypic.com/35bdpqw.png http://i59.tinypic.com/24wdizq.png Wanted to add these ones too. In the side pictures, on the left one I actually was sucking my gut in and at the time thought I looked good lol. In the back pictures, that left one is pretty much just well formed fat. I thought I had some developed lats lol. Feeling much better with how I look in pictures nowadays. My bench press PR is 155lbs and my deadlift PR is 180. I don't train consistently yet but did those lifts just to see where I was at. When I was bigger, my press PR was 135 and my deadlift PR was 165, so improvement is improvement. I don't train squats because my lower back and knees are shot to hell from childhood. (I have some wheels though) Side note, it's so awesome to see the size difference in my underwear. I was a 2XL, now I'm a large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegan_rossco Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Forgot to ask, do you have a goal weight? Seriously impressive work already though bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankOnTwoLegs Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 The thinnest Ive been at the height I am at was 175lbs, and that was during high school graduation. I wasn't "allowed" to lift (parental issue), so I was soft bodied, but still broad and strong given my short stature. So I'm thinking 175lbs would be a decent goal weight for me, just with the muscle added on. Only thirty pounds away. I don't own a scale anymore, I find that I actually do better without one because I tend to obsess over it without doing anything about it. I'll just train until my pants keep falling off and when I'm at the pants size I was during graduation, I'll weigh myself lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KishaG Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I really need help just getting started. Can anyone (or many ones) share a week of meals. All help and advice, gladly accepted & appreciated. We are a family of 7 (5 kiddos). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiskyFang Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I do lots of fruit for breakfast/lunch. Then I do 1 cup quinoa with cumin and whatever spices/stuff I want in it, maybe some nutritional yeast. For salads I do any greens, any veggies, and maybe some legumes or nuts/seeds. Lately I have been experimenting with tofu. Sometimes I'll do oats as well, or maybe some pasta. Just what I do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan Amazon Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thank you for sharing. This is very inspirational. I had an active eating disorder for over 15 years and still struggle with it so I know how hard it is to break through and stay motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recio Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Great work and will. Are you using almond oil or similar after shower? Makes a difference on your skin. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankOnTwoLegs Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 No I just use Dial soap and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recio Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 It helps preventing stretch marks from the volume loss on many areas like your lower back and so on. Apply after shower over wet skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankOnTwoLegs Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hm. Ok. The only stretch marks I have really are real faded along my stomach. Anything else you see is actual scarring from surgeries, not stretch marks. But thanks for the info. Whatevers on my skin at this point in my life is just going to remain on my skin.
