I'll play... went from 330lbs to 156lbs, then got to the stage at 187 (first show) at 4.8% body fat.  Competed 6 times since then, winning two local shows.

Legs are terrible, so I should do Men's Physique, except I'm built like a fridge without width or lines, so I can't do that either, ergo, haven't competed since 2014.  #shouldajuststayedfat

Incredible transformation bro. Legs look great. Legs shouldnt be crazy big anyway. No loose skin in waist. You are one of the few that have pulled off such a transformation.Reminds me of the great legend Bruce Randall who went from 400 lbs of fat weighlifting to winning the Mr. Universe within a year or so...at 200 ish pounds.Bruce is my avatar pic. Congrats man.

Thanks man, and holy crap, just looked him up and good lord that's an insane transformation!? Mine wasn't all me....i had to have a circumferential body lift to remove 14+ inches of loose skin and got over 2,000 stitches in the process.  Recovery was 6+ months and worst pain I've ever felt in my life, but worth it in the end.

Good for you brother. The fact that you did the surgery and then STILL went on to compete via hard training and hard dieting says a ton. Again...you look incredible.

DJ. I love your dog and would get one just like it but I have the habit of saving strays before they are terminated and have yet to find a good looking dog such as yours.

But I did save the original Benji's life once upon a time ... but that's too long of a story for this here GetBig Board.

THE WEIGHT .... Your transformation is way beyond any other physical achievement I've ever seen!!!  Congrats to ya!!!!!

Did your story ever get any national coverage?

BRUTAL recovery...sent home with 2 drain tubes for 14 days and several complications.  I signed a waiver to not have a catheter in after I was awake lol.  Normally with that type of procedure you're sent home with one in and have to have it removed later, meaning I'd be completely awake and alert.....nope.  Had one once, never again.  But my stupid decision led to problems because I couldn't pass anything from all the drugs I was on (and subsequently on for 6+ months making me a legitimately needed but semi-crackhead).  But needless to say, it was a necessity.

Thanks man!  As a result, I was featured on the news and in commercials for the surgeon who did the gastric bypass back in 2007.  But after 10 years of being post-op, although I work with clients everyday who are WLS patients, I don't feel it is an appropriate means to an end for 90% of people that have it.  A lot of people see it as a 'quick-fix' or the 'end all, be all' of weight loss, which couldn't be further from the truth.  It takes consistency and dedication to really transform yourself.  They can do all types of surgery on your stomach, but they can't do it on your brain.  I've seen countless people have all types of invasive surgeries and not lose a single pound (which still baffles me to this day!) 

I have a website that I offer training and nutrition programs on (I'm a NASM Certified Weight Loss Specialist and CPT, CSN, though I realize that means absolutely NOTHING these days and literally anyone can be branded a "prep coach/guru") and I started a small supplement brand recently.  So although I haven't really used it as a means to get notoriety or national coverage, it has definitely allowed me to do what I love to do and help others. 

The bottom line is, (as cliche as it sounds) ANYONE can do ANYTHING.  I always hated people that said, "oh, just believe in yourself and sky's the limit" and crap...but that's actually true.  If you truly want to do something, you can.  You just have to be dedicated as hell and turn it into a passion..the rest will fall in line! (talk to me in 10 years when i'm back up to 500lbs lol)

TheWeightsOVer:

Heck of a transformation, physically, mentally, and career wise.
A very good story, glad I read it today, something positive in this world!

You're an impressive person!
