    Great job. My hubby was your size when younger (the starting size). He lifted 6 days a week for years and finally had gotten to a place he liked. In his head he sometimes still sees the "skinny kid" so that takes time to get past. Great job sticking to it.

    had no problem with the way I looked back then now I still feel small and look back and can't even imagine being like that again. It amazes me that I probably getting around 2000-2500 calories at most (never tracked them before) and allways maintained the same weight but when I tried to gain weight it takes me 4000 which it took me over a year to find out.

    Congratulations!

    May I ask, how many calories above your calorie maintenance level is your daily intake now?

    What's your work out routine and diet like? Good progress! I need to work on my back more so by my shoulder blades/scapular region?

    We're very similar! I started around 2013-2014 and I was around 135-140 lbs. Currently I'm close to 180 lbs at 14-15% body fat. My goal is to be 180-185 lbs at sub 10% but I want to see how big I can get before I cut because I cut before and went back down to 160 lbs which looked good but too small for me.
