I wish there was a female equivalent, but this is pretty cool.

What specifically makes you think that?

Also, did you guys scroll down and read the comments? It shouldn't surprise

me at this point, but I guess its slightly amusing that people are so

negative and critical when someone makes a physical transformations through

good old fashioned nutrition and hard work.

I'm sorry, I should have spent more time responding. I was on my way out this

morning when I saw that. No, actually I didn't scroll down and read the

comments. The first few pictures just didn't seem right to me, then I went down

further and started looking at his head/smile/hair. I don't know, just weird.

Don't get me wrong, I think if someone did make that transformation it is

AWESOME! Hard work is hard work, and I've put in plenty of it myself. And I know

plenty of people who've made drastic transformations with hard work and proper

nutrition. That is nothing to be negative or critical about. That doesn't change

the fact that the pictures look fishy.

It's not just that they look weird, it's that they look identical.

Besides variations in the hair, which can easily be changed, the heads

are *exactly* the same, and I mean totally identical, on several of them.

Maybe some of the pics are for real, but my opinion is that some of them

are fake.

LOL, Oh-kaaay, so even if the heads are the same, look at the guy's body.

Notice below his belly button there is a little indentation, maybe a scar or

something. THAT is on all the bodies. So even *if* the head is

photoshopped on (which I don't think they are), SOMEBODY made that

transformation. And Kudos to him for doing so.

Hi everyone!

Someone at my forum posted this thread, and I just wanted to chime in.

Let me start off by saying unequivocally that every single picture that I have

posted on my site is 100% legitimate. I started my page as a personal project to

keep me motivated as I lost weight, and I had absolutely no reason to fudge

anything. Many of the people here at bb.com watched me slowly go from fat, to

(admittedly) way too skinny! My site gained a lot of popularity over the years,

and this was most unexpected, but I've always done things the same way--openly

and honestly.

The criticisms leveled at my pictures are laughable, because I know for a fact

they are not altered. Sometimes it's frustrating to read comments like those in

this thread, but they are beyond my control.

I think it's real a shame that some people have felt the need to alter their

transformation pictures. Unfortunately those people have created an atmosphere

of distrust, so I can't say I really blame people for being skeptical. Believe

me, I've heard it all by now...

I've always prided myself in my honesty when it comes to my transformation. I've

always admitted my missteps, tried to keep learning and attempted to help others

as much as time allows. I have a true passion for training, and every day I look

forward to lifting more than anything else.

As others have pointed out, I have tons of pictures and videos on my site and on

my forum that show me at every point along my transformation. I've also met many

people in person over the years, and host an annual " cheat meal " in which anyone

is welcome to come and hang out with me and the JSF gang.

Please, don't let others tell you what is and is what not possible. The sky is

the limit. Keep your thoughts positive, and keep training hard!
