Hello, im 35 and I've hit 20 stone 1(281 lbs). My usual weight is around 19.2 st.

I'm wondering if anyone has managed to keep the size whilst cutting the fat naturally? I've never used Steriods and don't really fancy them or SARMS.

Thanks!

Some inputs please. What I should do?

Hello guys! May I ask for help? I’d love to hear your thoughts on where I should begin.

This is my starting point: After 10 months without any exercise and eating no paying attention to my macros, I now want to lose fat. I've calculated my caloric deficit, but I also realize I don't have much muscle. 😐😐

•Female •33years old •5’2 •140lbs - current weight •120lbs - goal weight

I’m confused about starting weight training, cardio, steps in… or whatever I could do.

Thanks in advance

Cutting

What’s the best way to go about cutting but still eat enough to be able to maintain my current lift cycles. Or, do you not lift as much (weight) still as often but just focus more on calorie deficit. I’ve been seriously lifting for a year so I’ve seen gains and results consistently but now I wanna shed more fat percentage but I’m worried I won’t have the energy to be able to keep up with my daily grind. Thanks in advance. Deadlift was 190 x 8 squats was 165 x 5

Planning to cut for 1 more week and then start a lean bulk (150-250 surplus) for atleast 6 months. Would it be a good idea? Did not have a proper bulking phase for a long time and is really looking forward to gaining lean mass. Little paranoid about the fat gain though. Any suggestions?

Excuse the weird filter 🤧
