A few years ago I did a "fat to not" thing... went from 242lbs down to 202... documented from 237 down to 213lbs... Those are here (keep in mind these are completely "non pumped" and mostly relaxed photos, not trying to look big, just showing fat loss):
And this is what I looked like back in 1996 at 180lbs (from the first EAS contest):
IG: Thanks a lot for the confidence boost Currently I'm up around 245lbs, but I don't look as bad as I did back then at that weight... I will do some "recent" pictures this weekend if I can get someone to hold the camera for me since I lost the remote to my digital...
G4E: I was talking about the very bottom picture - I seriously didn't ever train abs at that time, so even though my bodyfat was super low (tested at 6% - the graininess of the pics makes it look softer than that). EDIT: At that time you could see even the cross cuts on my thighs, but no abs!!
You look great in your pics. Like IG said, you shouldn't compare yourself to other people - just work to improve yourself!

NOTES:
Happy with the workout - only got 3 and a half hours of sleep last night, so I think I did REALLY good! I got home late from visiting a 'friend'... and when I got home I realized that my right earlobe piercing was infected! I had just stretched it from 4 gauge to 2 gauge on Saturday, and apparently at some point I managed to get it dirty Damn! So it was 3am and I was soaking my earlobe in sea salt water, cleaning it with anti-bacterial soap, trying to find something I could put in it that wouldn't irritate it more, but would keep the hole open... I ended up having to downsize to 8 gauge - hopefully I'll be able to get a 6 back in there in a couple of days so I don't have to go through a bunch of stretches again...
Okay... so now it is time to get ready for work! Later!
buffness: Thanks man! I'm hoping that now at 230 I will be looking like I was at 213 in those pictures... but maybe I'm nuts
G4E: I still call them "2 arm rope hammers" for some reason... but in the past I used to do them single arm some of the time and both arms together some of the time, so I needed to specify... old habit. I am using both arms at once - just holding one end of the tricep rope with each hand
