And these pictures are from last night, October 17, 2007. I am 194lbs in them:

arms are looking thick bro! well done! looking a bit like a mozarella though

**thenatural** · 10-18-2007, 02:04 PM

thanks...mozarella?

KnowNothingGuy · 10-18-2007, 02:12 PM

Nice job natural

alex · 10-18-2007, 02:17 PM

your skin colour puts you in the mozarella family, so yes mozarella

**thenatural** · 10-18-2007, 02:19 PM

ah hahaha yeah....northern canada = not a lot of warm sun.

i want to scare people with how big I am...LOL

I'm hoping to hit around 220-230 and stay there at a respectable BF....who knows though, when i get there i will most likely want more! LOL

Stevo · 10-18-2007, 03:12 PM

Man, that's a crazy amount of weight. To me, that's a tooon of undying consistency. To think you got that done in 1 year is big time motivation. But you definitely look like mozerella, and probably smell like blue cheese

**thenatural** · 10-18-2007, 03:36 PM

thanks stevo, it has been a great year at the dinner table and in the gym.

damn so many cheese jokes

Stevo · 10-18-2007, 06:30 PM

Hahaha, this keeps getting better!

**Ken "Skip" Hill** · 10-18-2007, 06:32 PM

Seriously, is that butt sweat?

I am impressed with your progress, bro. Very cool and I know first hand how difficult you have it to eat enough to get your weight up. Good work, my friend.

**thenatural** · 10-18-2007, 06:40 PM

you got it right, skip, that is dirty gym SWASS (sweaty ass)...

thanks for the kind words, it is mucho appreciated.

I remember wanting to hit 180 and thought I was it!...Then I ran into the 200 pounders, made me feel like, small again...so I hit 200 then I ran into the 220 pounders, so I hit 240, then my buddy hit 270, I then said, *&*&*&*, and have danced between 200 and 250 ever since...*LOL*...

It seems to me, that no matter what, there will always be someone bigger to set ya straight....But, i feel ya!...I think after not being able to sleep, at all, at 250 that pretty much cured me going over 220...I'm at that now, but still have sleep issues...Not like at 250 tho...Anyway bro, I'm sure u will do what is in your mind...
