A Personal Trainer Who Got Out Of Shape

brianmrutledge

A quick backstory - I'm a 32 year old who has been a personal trainer since 21. Lingering neck and shoulder issues slowly sucked away my love of fitness over the years and my before is more or less an in-shape body left to rot away. Believe it or not, I never truly counted calories. I gave MFP a try and decided to slowly try and get back in shape. The pictures are two months apart (early April - early June). I'm doing more of a "rebuild" re composition, not straight weight loss. Before is 183 and the "after" (which is really my "during"...nowhere close to finished yet) is 179. The visual difference is there though. I'm down from 23% BF to 19%....goal is 15%.

These apps really do work if you consistently use them. Food is seriously 80% of all the hard work in fitness!

Yep, very noticeable difference! Well done!

Great job so far ! It's nice to see a success story that involves recomp. Very inspiring to me as I am lifting weights and noticing major differences everywhere... but the scale is edging only ever so slowly down.
