RyanArnett 2012 Transformation Competition Log

That's the plan. My wife will help out too cause she is super supportive. She was extremely happy the other night when for the first time in years she was able to put her arms around me and actually touch hands. That's huge cause she's a tiny woman and hasn't been able to do that in prolly 8 years

Its definitely a mental thing for me. Trying to keep my eyes on the goal. I agree though and I treat myself modestly on occasion just for reward

You know something, I reckon we'll see a BIG difference in this guy's physique by the end. He's been one of the most consistent with his training from what I can see. Other than Donna that is :)

Most of us have had some kind of setback, work, buying a house, etc.. And this man's still getting in some training on his vacation!!

Well don't get me wrong I'm missing my lifting this week though that is not such a bad thing cause the elbow is feeling great but I am getting a lot of cardio with all the walking. Spent 10 hrs today at universal studios. Ate OK could have been a bit better but still pretty healthy. Got 10 hrs of walking tomorrow too hitting up animal kingdom at disneyworld.

10 hours of walking is awesome bro! When I was a young lad in the service of Her Majesty I had to cover 100 miles in 4 days on a couple of occasions, the weight loss was fantastic! Wasn't all fat for me though as I didn't eat much back then and so must've lost plenty of muscle too, although my shoulders beefed right up cos I was carrying about 30lbs in a pack!

I bet you drop plenty of weight on Holiday :)
 
Well heading to magic kingdom today for 13 more hours of walking. Got lots of fruit in my bag and water.

I bitched up a storm first time my ex wife talked me into taking everyone to Disney. Thought it was ridiculous for the costs associated. As soon as I was home, I started planning another trip, lol. It was awesome, really enjoyed it. It was a "get what you pay for place" everything was perfect, and was surprised how easy it was to get around and get on rides and attractions.
Too bad those memories are with the ex! LOL!
 
Of I hear ya. This trip when its all said and done with prolly cost 6k for two adults two kids. Its is crazy. And I remember doing the same thing the first time my wife talked me into taking them. This is the third time now.

Well I had to weigh in man. Just had to see what I may have given up progress wise the last ten days but I am pretty damn happy with myself cause I ate some pretty damn good food and even cheated a little but I weighed in at 362.2 which is actually 1 pound less than what I weighed before leaving. Makes me amped to get started again now

Congrats on the fat loss my good man. I know its not easy by any means but you sure make it look that way.
Good for you bro.

No its definitely not easy and the best part is that I'm not having any muscle or strength lose at all. Actually I'm still increasing even after being off cycle for over two weeks now.

Not the best tri and chest workout tonight. Felt real weak bit did my best. I think its because I worked out so late after a tweleve hour work day in the heat. Oh well gotta let it go and move on

12 hot hours of working in the heat....hell bro that would just suck the strength out of anybody.

Good luck with your goal, I still think the scales are the last place you should be looking, the mirror is much more accurate. I reckon you'll get there or damn close though :)

Nice man, clothing is probably the most accurate way of judging! I know I'm losing fat when I have to start tightening my belt no matter what the scales say! :)
 
I agree with CS. Shit bro you killindatshit big time in here. Good for you bro!
 
I have that same good pain today off legs. I love the feeling of hard work!

Just checking in brotha! Sorry haven't been around in a while, life is chaotic as of late. Glad to see you are still killing it! What's your total weight loss to date since starting the comp?
 
As of this morning I weighed in at 346.6 so a total loss of 37.4 lost. I struggled the last few weeks kinda hit a wall where my weighed was just staying the same. Now it started melting back off so I'm prolly not gonna hit my 325 goal by the end of the month but ill try my best for sure

Still some damn impressive work bro. bet the mirror is being friendlier now? ;)
 
Your best is going to be awesome either way bro! Well done that's an incredible loss ;)

I had the best chest tri workout I have ever had yesterday. Felt like an animal. I went up on every exercise to weights I haven't done before and never felt tired for some odd reason. If I hadn't been on a time crunch ie the wife.....then I never would have left. My son even walked over to me when I was sitting down and put his hand on my head and asked if I was feeling OK. Funniest thing ever. I love the feeling after a hell of a workout. You feel like you just own the damn gym

Sent from my LG-LW690 using EliteFitness
 
YES! I know that feeling! Great innit?
 
I started the contest at 384 ad of this morning I am now 340 so I have lost 44 lbs. I went from a 4x or 5x shirt down to a 3x and a few 2x shirts which I haven't been in for 10 yrs. I went from a size 50 pants down to a size 42. I really like the definition I am seeing in my back and tris but I really think the biggest improvement is in my bi and shoulder definition and my chest is really starting to flatten out and lose the moobs I have had for about 10 yrs now. I also lost a lot off my stomach. I still have a lot more to go there but I see a huge difference from the beginning pics from front and especially from the side. I am very happy with my progression which keeps me amped to improve more.

Sent from my LG-LW690 using EliteFitness
 
Great job bro. So proud of you. I look forward to following your constant progress. I hope you keep your log going?
 
I have to give huge thanks to all the people who followed me through this for the encouragement when I doubted myself. Also my son who worked out with me five to six days a week religiously for the entire time and encourages and pushes me and says he has never see me look this good in his entire life which makes my day. And of course my wife who supports all my hours in the gym instead of giving me hell.for not spending them with her.

Hey MR, I applaud you my friend as after following your progress and reading the hard graft you put in you deserve a pat on the back. In my eyes what you done over 12 weeks is a win win situation you've achieved so much. Well done! It's been inspiring working along side you. And you've been so helpful on my road to transformation so thank you. ;)
 
Wow you accomplished so much, in so little time! 3 months, and you're down 40lbs! I can't imagine how good that would feel. Probably something like, gaining 40lbs of muscle in 3 months. Something I wish I could accomplish. Such a great job Ryan!!
 
I'm super impressed! looks like everything around you just clicked at the right time, "imagine" what a perfect quality time ,what could get better than that, Weightlifting with your son ,anytime i can help keep you going i'm just a pm away!
 
Ryan bro, this is what this comp is all about. You have shown through your work here the spirit all of us need to exhibit. That with hard work and busting ass results can be achieved. My hat is off to you brother. Great job bro!

Dropping 40 lbs has done a ton for my confidence and especially my energy. Whatever I have been doing I feel has me on the right track of gaining just the right amount of muscle for my frame at the same time that I'm shredding the fat so that I actually get to see the muscle I'm building. It has been a great feeling.

He has been my inspiration for sure. He is trying to put on a lot of muscle for sports purposes cause he is a little guy at 65lbs at age 12 but so gifted in sports that he has big dreams and really has been hard on himself as he gets onto 7th grade cause he is starting to get teased a bit. So we use eachother. The days I'm tired he pushes me and the days he is tired I push him. He gets a lot of props in the gym by all the big guys cause he works harder than most of the guys in there and that little Guy is stacking on a ton of muscle as well while staying shredded so he is so happy I can't ever get his ass out from in front of the mirror. LOL I don't know if I would have had the drive to work and then workout this hard if it wasn't for him. Actually I know I wouldn't cause that's why I got the way I was over the last 10 yrs is from lack of motivation and excuses.

Thanks. I am the type of Guy that is way too competitive and need competitions for motivation so I am just glad to be a part and hope we do a lot more of these. Very glad I stumbled on this forum at just the right time cause everyone here has been so helpful to me in my journey and I intend to keep my log going so I can track my progress as I make this journey. I wish I could find some old pics of where I was a year and a half ago when I was tipping 500lbs as I started. Down 160 now so I honestly feel like a new man but still have more to go

The chest is not that painful at all compared to other spots. I haven't had it done because its all just so damn expensive and I actually started that whole huge chest arm and back piece at one time 10 yrs ago which was a huge mistake. I should have done it in sections. I have put off my chest as well because well lets face it as I gained weight the shirt never came off. All that is beginning to change so I will be getting it finished soon.
