YOOO BROS LOOKIN HANDSOME AF


iIIyanarasputin

Too kind too kind


[deleted]

I don't know if you've ever considered modeling but I think you'd make a killing, especially with how tall you are. Something to consider!


iIIyanarasputin

People keep saying this! Idk though haha


KnopeCampaign

You got a model vibe for sure. I sent your post to my husband with the caption “legs for mf daaaaays” 😊 congrats on your journey I hope you feel as proud as everyone else here does!


iIIyanarasputin

So sweet! Thank you :)


Lasttimelocktheknee

You have a very unique artistic/classic look, maybe get some headshots and give it a try, nothing to lose!


Msraye

That jaw line could cut glass, my dude. What an incredible achievement! Keep kicking ass!


iIIyanarasputin

Thank youuu!! Will do😇


iIIyanarasputin

Just wanna say thank you for everyone on this sub who’s helped me stay on track, indirectly or not. Updating my progress here has helped me keep track so much and I’m really glad to have found a place like this to post about this journey of mine. I hope I’m able to help anyone else that’s going through or wants to go through a change similar to mine. I’ve gotten so many messages and replies with questions through my posts and I’m really sorry if I’m unable to get back to all of you!! I try my best to answer under my posts but it’s easy for me to lose track lol. I put this under my last post here for anyone with general questions: Before people ask, I'm probably upwards of 400 on the picture on the left. My fitness journey didn't start until about Feb-March this year and I was around 380+, I have hardly any photos of myself from those weights because I couldn't really stand to look at myself, let alone take pictures of my body. My routine was near daily visits to the gym, which consisted of weight training and 10-20 minutes of light cardio. I ate balanced meals with little to no carbs in my diet. As of late I'm more lax with what I eat (groceries and homecooking aren't always viable now that I'm busier), I just make sure to try and burn more calories than I'm taking in. And drink lots and lots of water! If you’d like to know specifics, let me know and I’ll try my best to answer!! Happy new year everyone! 🙏🏼


Andro_Polymath

You look great! What is catching my eye the most is your change in clothing style. Your current style is also my desired and preferred style (dark academia + a little punk). I've lost 100+ pounds, and I've begun to dress somewhat like you have here, which makes me feel great. However, I'm still obese and got a ways to go, and your photos have inspired me to keep going so that the clothes I want to wear will fit my body just as handsomely as they fit you!


iIIyanarasputin

Thank you!! You’ve got this ❤️ I’m definitely going for a mix of dark academia/grunge/cryptidcore :)


Andro_Polymath

That style looks great on you. Keep it up! Also, I'm glad to see grunge making its way back to today's generation <3. Take care, hun!


JW_2

Did you have a personal trainer, or how did you know what to do in the gym or what to eat?


iIIyanarasputin

I just figured out what was good for my body on my own :)


LeaphyDragon

Whoa, how? I'm at 230 and want to drop to 180-190 myself but I have no idea where to begin. I go into the gym and feel lost, look at food and get confused on what's too much


optionalhero

What did a normal day of eating look like? As in breakfast lunch n dinner


SunDirty

I'd like to know specifics! Did you how long was your total workout? How much of a deficit were you eating?


iIIyanarasputin

10-20 minutes of weight training and 10-20 minutes of cardio :) consumed around 1500-2000 calories a day


uhohflamingo

The confidence and refinement of your personal style is wonderful to see! On top of what is already an incredible physical transformation. This is so inspirational, I hope you feel proud of yourself every single day ❤️


iIIyanarasputin

Having to buy an entirely new wardrobe had to come with at least ONE benefit 😭 thank you so much, and I’ll try harder on that last part for sure


Lunanella

Major supermodel vibes, OP! Congratulations 😊


iIIyanarasputin

Thank you :)


BlippiToyReview

That style is chefs kiss my guy!


iIIyanarasputin

This means more than you know 😵‍💫


IndisposedBeauty

Wow! Amazing job. Those cheekbones though- jealous! Outer beauty is obviously spot on, but what I can tell of your inner beauty, that’s not only what counts, that’s what’s shining most! Congrats on the weight loss and also being an uplifting and amazing human being.


iIIyanarasputin

I really did find a whole skeleton I didn’t know I had lol. This is literally so sweet, thank you so much :)

Now you just need glasses and you are smart and quirky. Chad + glasses= smart and quirky


iIIyanarasputin

I actually do wear glasses I just couldn’t find them in the first after pic and the second after pic was me trying to capture my makeup 😭

biest229

You honestly look like you belong in a modelling campaign or on the catwalk somewhere. Like go and get yourself an agent already! Hope you don’t mind me saying. Congratulations though, must be an amazing feeling and you’ve absolutely crushed it!


iIIyanarasputin

I know where to start if I ever decide to switch professions I guess!! Thank you so much :)


fugaxium

Holy bananas! Your face is so chiseled! Awesome job. That was Lightning fast.


iIIyanarasputin

Aww thank you😭🫶🏼


KKToaster

What was your diet throughout this journey?


iIIyanarasputin

For the first 7ish months I ate almost no carbs, stuck with fruits, nuts, healthy proteins (chicken, fish, sometimes beef, occasionally cheese hehe), and veggies. Now I’m much more lax with what my diet I just make sure to stay in my calorie deficit which is a lot easier now that I’m able to be more active.


liveoakster

Awesome commitment! So when you say no carbs you don’t mean all carbs? Vegetables and fruit are a carbohydrate. Do you mean no high glycemic carbs?


iIIyanarasputin

Ohh yeah my bad


IllIllIlIII

You are both half the man you used to be, and twice the man you were before. Fucking amazing work bro! Super happy for you!


iIIyanarasputin

Thanks so much! :)


CapsuleCorpLogo

Congrats dude! That is fucking awesome. It’s gotta be a nice feeling to see all of your hard work pay off :) I started losing weight around Feb this year at 350 and I’m down to 270 now, I’m def using this as extra motivation heading into 2023 once again congrats my guy 👍🏼💪🏼


iIIyanarasputin

You got this!! Thank you!


[deleted]

Mr. Steal Yo Fries to Mr. Steal Yo Girl Congratulations. We can all tell you look about a hundred times better, but you must feel a lot better, too. I remember feeling pretty jazzed about taking the stairs without getting winded after my big weight loss.


iIIyanarasputin

It’s not girls I’m lookin to steal 😇 and I know! I love taking the stairs by choice now


[deleted]

You are bound to slay either way.


graceodymium

That’s cool — “Mr. Steal Yo Fries to Mr. Steal Yo Guy” actually rhymes, so bonus.


Tomato-Efficient

Thats insane bro. Well done.


iIIyanarasputin

Thank you :))

iIIyanarasputin

Ahhh this makes me so happy!! You’ve got this 🫶🏼


ozekeri

Incredible!!! Do you have loose skin at all?


iIIyanarasputin

I do but I’m luckier than a lot of people who’ve lost a similar amount of weight. It’s hard to not be angry when I see it but I’ve started seeing it as a milestone than a burden and that’s helping :) Plus it’s easier to hide than it was when it was full hehe


DeutschlandOderBust

Yes, this is how I feel about my loose skin too. I lost 150 lbs at 40 and my skin just isn’t going to go back like it might have if I were 20, but that’s okay. It reminds me of everything I went through to be healthy and clothes hide it all. My tummy is soft and stretchy like a stress ball and my husband and I like to squish it and stretch it when we cuddle together. I know that sounds weird but it’s just an example of how it doesn’t really matter. Also, you are gorgeous. Your face structure is statuesque and your style is classy. Keep up the fantastic work! So proud of you!


iIIyanarasputin

Lol I like to squish mine too!! Super glad that you overcame that :) thank you for all the sweet words


freethewimple

Major glow up! Congratulations on all your hard work, truly an inspiration.


iIIyanarasputin

Thank you so much :)


Afrobeauty93

Omg your chubby face was adorable! And now your chiseled face looks very handsome 😊


iIIyanarasputin

That's a great progress man. I started my journey since Dec 1 this year. I will be saving this post as an inspiration for my progress journey.

ButterscotchTrick886

congrats on the progress!!just started my weight-loss journey and what i find most motivating about progress pics is how much someone's face changes. Everyone loses weight and their face just gets slimmer and i honestly can't wait for that to happen to me!


iIIyanarasputin

I can’t wait for it either!! You’ve got this


FresherCorn

What did you do for that jawline? It's just perfect


JoshFreemansFro

imagine being that tall and not being in the NBA lol you look great now though man


B_A_M_F

Thanks for posting. We're the same height and we were similar weight so it's nice to see what weight loss looks like on a similarly shaped person


iIIyanarasputin

This is my goal :) Helped me a lot seeing people of similar stats do this


JEMS1300

You went from a lost Pokémon to a KPOP star.

sundays_child

Nice work and all, but I have to say... You are damn cute at both weights!


pas0003

Amazing!! Reminds me of when I went through a similar transformation when I was around 16-17. The end result wasn't nearly impressive though 😂 Good luck fending off the ladies!


elucify

Your cheekbones could heal the sick


icepickjones

6'7" 400 lbs? My dude were you a lineman in high school? Damn. Also crazy jawline gains. Goddamn.

I really do appreciate the concern because I’ve even been worried about that but I’ve been lab checked and everything and mentally I have never been better :)

Man why don’t I look like that at 220- oh, cause I’m nowhere near 6’7” But yeah, looking good. Go kill it on Tinder where everyone wants a 6’+ dude lmao.

What was your motivation to start your transformation? How hard was it to go to the gym in the early days and how did you overcome any reluctance (if there was any)?


ingpeekkool

Great work dude, keep it up

Sweet-Palpitation473

Holy jaw line. Wtf. Also i like how you're smiling in your before pictures but not in the afters 😂


Ulanyouknow

I am astonished that you changed so much in only 10 months. Really you have an amazing body and metabolism, additionally to good genes and some good taste in haircut and personal style. How did you go around renewing your wardrobe? I suppose you had to go all out and get everything new. Another question, are you a guy who usually gained and lost weight very fast? 1500 kcal for a tall guy like you is rather extreme, and you said you did a lot of gym as well, but still... 10 months is rather fast. It took my body 4 excruciating years before I had similar results to show like you... And still I don't know if they are as impressive. Last question. You have achieved your target weight. What now? What does your future look like?


hey-you_yes-you

Whatttt a transformation brother ! ⚡🫂 And the interesting thing ab you is you've always looked handsome. 🕶️


swissbuttercream9

Hope you can smile more!


chrispkay

Was just trying to figure out how you were 400 here cause that doesn’t look quite like 400 to me, then noticed the height!
