@atlantadad Thank you! Surgery went well and I am already over pretty much all the pain.

@woodgood Sure, it's totally doable. Here is a pic of my progress up to now. Currently at about 19.5% body fat, aiming for under 18%. I was a hardcore drinker and smoker for DECADES. If I can do this, literally anyone can! *And one more thing. I have used MyFitnessPal on and off for three...

@karengodsgirlk2 I was pretty active as a kid up through my early 20s. Then around age 23 or so, I injured myself doing karate, got depressed over that and other life events, and stopped exercising completely in order to dedicate myself full-time to professional drinking. I began packing on...

@loveseternalquestion Holy crap, that's amazing. Maybe you can help me figure something out. Every time I get into a good routine with pushups, it seems like as time goes on, I can do less and less instead of more. I don't understand this. It doesn't hurt or anything, I just run out of muscle...

@woodgood I'm 52 soon and dropped about 65-70 pounds last year. I am not quite as cut yet as the guy in your photo but I'm 85% there. I got here by simply cutting calories (used Myfitnesspal) and a lot of cycling. I am a bit of an extremist and I don't actually recommend doing it as fast as I...

@loveseternalquestion Wow! How many sets of reps?

@binbina Are you taking any measurements with the tape? That would be a good way to tell what's going on.

@binbina Are you actually tracking your caloric intake?

@willp You are killing it, my dude! Fantastic work, and you look amazing! Thank you for sharing!

@matthias10000 Have you looked into HIIT at all? I haven't done it myself but I hear great things. For people who prefer not to spend their time in long cardio sessions, HIIT seems to be the way to go.

@janeevans89 There you go. I think you will find it gives you a nice change of mindset and brings your focus back a little sharper. At least that's what it did for me. I bulked up over the winter (more than I intended... I put on 15 pounds, lol) and have been cutting again all summer. I didn't...

@janeevans89 I'm honestly not sure this is even possible. The amount of protein needed to build muscle would land you well over the amount needed to maintain a caloric deficit. Have you considered going in phases, like three months cutting, three months bulking?

@ceecee1026 Sounds like you're doing great! Welcome and glad you could join us.

@spamdetector Can you say more about what you mean by food is not the enemy?

@dezmond You certainly are not wasting your time with the Kettle bell! You're building core and upper body strength and I cannot think of an example where that should be a bad thing. It will help make your workouts more effective.

@iv65 Gardening is pretty good exercise too! Keep up the great work.

@swindon Are you tracking calories? Not just sort of paying attention, but actually tracking them? Fifteen pounds since August is pretty damn good and you should be patient with yourself. I think most likely you just need to keep on doing what you're doing.

@racheldovah Congrats on losing 10 lbs! If you're already doing IF then you're tackling the first thing I would have suggested, which would be to take a look at what you're eating. More and more, I'm realizing just how much fitness really starts in the kitchen. If you're into tracking your...

@barewitness That's impressive! Got any before and after pics you feel comfortable sharing? Might make a great post 🙂

@steffi Wonderful! Good luck on your journey, my friend, and check back in with us as often as you like. People who share your goals are the reason this group exists.
