Progress pics - Beating Anorexia with weight training

**wolfgang93** · 01-15-2011, 12:25 PM

okay so I uploaded the pics but only about half worked for some reason? but there is at least one pic from each stage (skinny, chubby again, cutting diet)

Long story short i was overweight, developed an eating disorder at a young age and working out helped me overcome the physical obstacles. Before anorexia I was roughly 220ish and weight lifting wasn't yet in my vocabulary. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of myself in the stage in life because I wost likely detroyed them because I could'nt stand to see them.
so throughout the pics I'll show i started off at about 140ish 6 feet tall, then there is a chubbier pic at about 215lbs(this was a phase was actually pretty recent) because I had a f*ck it mentality and hated obsessing about not getting fat and then I got fat again lol f*ck my life.
so those pics are from about 2ish months ago in the end of 2010 and I also have pics taken this last month and up to a few days ago (2011)
so roughly 2 months into a ketogenic diet..

please go easy on me with the most recent pics, I know I don't have the greatest body and I beat myself up about it because if I didn't have this obsession and lingering mental eating disorder I probably would have a lot more progress. ah but whatever, changing a body takes time.

Also I lost my bf% caliper so I wouldn't mind some estimates.. Id say my most recent pics Im probably about 15% bodyfat. I'm guessing another 6 months of strict cutting and I'll much better. my goal is between 5 and 7% bodyfat

Looking good. I have been anorexic as well, and I know it is hell.

Awesome progress bro! I have no idea why you're putting yourself down... looking great in the keto pics, i'd be happy with your body.

Bodyfat in the keto pics seems to be around 10% - you're WAY off with 15% bro, you're way closer to your goal then you think! Full 6 pack would never show with 15% bodyfat, I don't care WHO you are!

Great job - what is the entire length of time from when you started weight training until current?

**SergeantCarbs** · 01-21-2011, 08:09 PM

Agree with GB, definitely under 15%. I would think 10% already. What is your weight in that last picture?

**Tigershark** · 01-21-2011, 11:17 PM
