Recap: My 42-pound Weight Loss & Competition Results

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

This is an audio recap of why and how I dropped 42-lbs off my frame in 12 weeks and then competed in a Power lifting meet.  

The mental and physical side of a hardcore diet and the effects it has on your strength training progress.  I lay it all out here:

      Tech idiot here. Don’t know how to do that. Is there something wrong with your audio?

  • Sergio says:

    Any chance that we can see before and after pics?

    Great summary, Andy. The time, effort, and commitment . . .WOW . . . Are you back to eating a more “moderate” diet, now? If so, did the sodiu, glycogen, ect. cause a quick weight gain? Thanks, again, for all of the insight and keeping all of us informed of the progress along the way. Congratulations!

      Sunday – Tuesday I ate whatever I wanted. Completely off the diet. Today I am back on for the next four days then heading out on vacation Sunday. I’ll be off again for a week. When I get back I’ll get back on the diet and me and Nathan are going to work something out that is strict Monday – Friday and loosens up on the weekends. But yeah, I was 216 when I got back on the scale today. Should come right back off though.

    You’re supposed to smile in the ‘after’ picture! :-)

      Ha! It was like 4:45am – getting ready to head into work. No smiles until I’ve had my coffee.
