I am still fairly new to reddit and I screwed up the format on the above post while I was editing. Sorry! Also, I realize that I was misleading with the minimal effort comment and I don't want anyone to think I was saying what we did during the season was "minimal effort". I just meant I was...

@m00ny For what it's worth, I was measured by the NCAA. I was a Division 1 college wrestler. Please keep in mind that when I meant by "minimal effort", it means during the wrestling season, doing the same workouts as everyone else. I can assure you that my weight cuts were MUCH harder than any...

@dawn16 I can understand your frustration as my wife can get discouraged as well. In complete transparency, I did completely change my diet from awful to REALLY good. Not to mention that I was drinking close to 24-36 beers a week or more. Additionally, Genetics does play a large part too. When...

@caducus Thank you! I went to a psychologist for my depression. I did not see a general physician for health issues. It has helped me immensely. I figured the worst case scenario was it wouldn't work and I waste a little bit of time and money. Best case scenario is that I don't feel awful...

@valerie01 I'm glad it helped! Baby steps are important. You have to slowly replace your old habits with new and better habits 😁

@trendingtimmy Yes, but I was probably on the verge of alcoholism. I wasn't addicted but it was a path I didn't want to go down. I was drinking around 24-36+ beers a week. Just by cutting out alcohol, I was consuming at least 500 less calories per day than normal. Then add cutting out junk...

@sister_diane Thank you!

@sister_diane Well, for me it is a different kind of journey. I have been to the destination before but I am taking a different road to get there! I had been training since I was 3 years old. I have a never had to experience being out of shape because I was always in shape. Until the last five...

@sister_diane I was a gymnast, wrestler and mixed martial artist.

@loadedcafe You're welcome! Honestly, the fact that I knew where I was before I gained all the weight made it that much more daunting. This is why I just decided to start small and not to over do it initially. Baby steps! You can do it!

@rapaputy So, I am by no means a nutritionist and it's probably best to talk to a doctor but being that I was a wrestler and mixed martial artist I know a little about cutting weight. In the first couple of weeks I started with a pretty extreme calorie deficit and did an 18 hour fasting. This...

@blessedinff Currently, I can only do or so pull ups in a row. Sorry if I was unclear in the post! It is split up through out the day. When I first got started I wanted to take it slow. So, I decided that I would do a minute of planks when I would get a food/energy drink/alcohol craving. I did...

@southernrunner I can't say this enough! This is a big reason why I made this post. I was one of those people.... I hated doctors. I was stubborn for an entire year but eventually I broke. For anyone who is struggling with depression, please go see a doctor. It doesn't make you weak or any...

@artanis Haha, I wouldn't go that far! I still have a long way to go

@goobiebean Thank you! I will definitely keep this in mind! I'm trying to get my wife to change her diet and workout with me. So hopefully we can hold each other accountable!

@cdw Way to go! It can be really daunting and frustrating at first so I'm glad you are still with it!

Not really sure if progress photos are allowed or not but I wanted to share with anyone that may need some motivation! ----- At one point, I was a very high level athlete and had never been above 15% body fat. Over the last few years I have been steadily gaining weight due to no longer...
