8 months into taking care of myself, 4 months into the gym, 77 pounds down - zSerity - Feb 17, 2020
Starting weight was 263, down to 186 currently.
At first I did keto for a good 6-8 months on and off, and around October started hitting the gym hard 6 times a week
I've been following the coolcicada PPLPPL plan
Here is my current progress, hoping to have some great definition by the summer

That's amazing work man! You actually motivated me to start gym again.

Wish I could gain some of the weight you’re losing. Great job though! Very smart to go straight to weight lifting rather than cardio

Good stuff! Just remember: it’s calories in vs calories out, no matter what diet plan/regimen you follow.
I know a bunch of people that do flash diets and crash after a couple of months since they can’t consistently follow it.
What’s your goal weight?

Thank you:) I'm pretty happy where I am right now but probably around 170.
I did Keto for awhile but now I just eat a full range of natural, whole foods, and cut out the sugar/processed crap. I really transformed the entire way I look at food so I'm confident I can stick to it, plus I still have my cheat weeks when I go on vacation haha

Wow congratulations man, I'm just starting my journey now. I'm 300lb 6'3, hoping to get down to atleast 250. I was drinking around 15k calories a week in beer, and im 7 days sober now so i'm hoping it just starts falling off lol

Hey man, why do you think its smart to go straight into weights instead of cardio?

Badass man! Keep it up!
My local gym allowed members to take equipment home for the duration of the closure. Kept the members happy, and the owners still collecting cash.
See if yours will allow you to do the same :)

At least in my experience I was able to gain muscle while losing a lotta fat with the high intensity weight training, cardio probably would just make you lose fat

This is incredible work man! Those are some life changing results right there. Keep on trucking bro, you've come so far and need to keep crushing it.
How do you feel physically / mentally? Do you notice a large increase in energy / overall motivation & just an overall sense of well being and confidence? I was in a similar starting position as you were and it changed my life in the best possible ways. Curious on how you're doing!
