Weight gain is an estimate due to a history of anorexia. Unfortunately weighing myself can become a bit of an obsession so I stay away from the scales.

Progress end of May 2024 to yesterday. Fat loss still consistently hitting 2-3lbs on a weekly basis now as I reduce calories with weight loss.

Made a home gym, weight-lift 4 days a week and walk 10k steps daily. Also go on assault bike or ski-erg in my gym on 2 non training days for cardio for HIIT sessions. Just started back at Muay Thai and look to get back into BJJ in the new year.

I was always athletic but then had a back injury that resulted in me being sedentary and then becoming somewhat addicted to food. Is over eat and eat the worse possible things.

Not a drop of alcohol, crisps or chocolate in the last 5 months and absolutely no desire for any of them. Genuinely at this point I can live on meat, veg and fruit with some rice, I never get bored of it.

Feel I’ve somewhat reverted back to my old lifestyle and I’m excited to get back in shape over the coming months.

Been pretty active in the gym over the past 2 years! There is still so much that i want to work on and improve but for the time being I am very happy with how far Ive come.

I feel like I haven't gained as much as I should have in muscle definition. My bodyfat is pretty high, i'd guess around 20%, skinny fat body. I am struggling to objectively analyze my progress and my body appearance. Hyper analyzing daily in the mirror makes it a blur. Obviously my flexing is better in 2nd pic versus 1st pic. Any outside perspective would be appreciated

Been on a mission to improve my health and lose weight.

I’ve stuck to the following rules:

• eat whatever I want as long as I don’t go over 1600kcal/day (but I have gravitated toward high volume and high protein food where possible)
• minimum 8k steps per day, but often averaging 10k+ as I walk my dog every day
• bike to and from work every day (only 10min each way)
• mountain bike 1-2 times per week
• reformer Pilates 2 times per week

I’m aiming for 60kgs but I’ll evaluate a bit closer to that, but I’m really pleased with my progress so far!!

Got on a clinical trial for a GLP-1 and it changed my life.

Please note weight-loss and Strength training were not done at the same time. I lost the weight first.

My weight loss journey has been a remarkable achievement. Seeing the tangible results of my hard work is incredibly fulfilling. Suffering from depression most of my life along with PTSD and eating disorders, this has been a huge accomplishment for me. As we all know suffering from these issues can cause us to binge, not care for ourselves and completely disassociate from every day life.

After my weight loss journey, which I will add wasn’t healthy at all and would never recommend it, eating to few calories really fucked with my metabolism, which is only recovering now after a long hard journey with reverse dieting. Amazingly I thought I would try bulking and I currently consume on average 2700 upwards calories a day, yet I have found I’m still losing fat mass and gaining muscle like crazy. So I definitely think my metabolism is back in check!

I decided to joint the gym late July and have slowly(or fast for some) been progressing in my movements and I’m incredibly proud of the results they are producing.

Even though I’m seeing the scales rise yet again, for once in my life I’m not nervous. I love seeing my muscles develop the way they have, from being over weight to underweight, to now becoming toned. Ahh I love it!!

Now it’s time to continue building muscle and developing better mental heath.

The gym is truly my sanctuary, seeing everyone here on all of their own journeys is truely inspiring.

Two years ago exactly today I started cooking my own food and lifting weights. It also happens to be the day that I finally reached double digits in KG (99kg).

I’m just so happy. I don’t really know many people in real life so I just wanted to share it on here!

I was in the 160’s / 150’s my entire 20’s. I finally told myself I’m gonna hit my goal before I turn 30. I’ve given myself a time frame to do it slow and sustainably. I fell off a bit this last year and weighed the same for a long time. Finally got my depression under control and remained consistent the past few months. I haven’t been in the 140’s since I was a teenager.

Hello friends! I’ve done a pretty good recomp over the past 2 years. Spent the first year bulking up hard and then having been slowly cutting for a year. Had some great recomp in the process. I have a video about the transformation here on YouTube if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/KqKbTWqoAms?si=NxLWNPHi1AewJJX9

I ended up on this fitness journey because of a friend. He was a big boy and we drank too much. We started going to the gym together after a close call with the law. He lost the weight and I gained some. The gym has kept us out of trouble and has taught me a lot about discipline, nutrition and the human body.

It was when I laid on my side to get my rib ink that my gut tumbled over and I thought “f this”. I only really care about protein, I hit 220g when I’m trying which is 5/7 days/wk. been trying to cut, mostly just cut out snickers bars. I really just care about lifting heavy and putting on muscle as I age. I love the gym. Squat 315x6 bench 225x3 can run down my driveway before I’m ended with shin splints
