    I been working out for years... HOWEVER I also ate crappy so it never really mounted to a decent figure. I just changed my lifestyle 6 months ago and I think I'm getting better results with my workout

    For most of my adult life (and that doesn't even count sports growing up). So probably about 20 years if I consider my habits after graduating high school.

    I'm 37 and think this is the first year I've attempted to do it WITH a balanced diet. Up until now I either went from one extreme (severely restricting) to the other (eating reasonably but refusing to track anything because I wanted to avoid falling back into disordered eating).

    I enjoy doing a variety of things to make it interesting and fun. I was raised in an active family so for me it's genuinely fun. :smile:

    @DJMIKEY1 I've putting in the work and I'm getting results, I just can't shake this feeling that By Now I should have abs. I know totally unrealistic, but a man can dream!

    I didn't mean to come off as you haven't put in the work, you already have abs my man, they are just a little hidden right now. I've always heard abs were made in the kitchen. Once your BF starts droppin they will start poppin. Stick with it.

    ive been very dedicated for the last year. slowed down in december bc i started a new job. when i hit a plateau, i change up whta i'm doing. either diet, or exercise - or both. even taking a week or 5 days off will shock your system and help get you out of a funk. good luck!!

    10 months

    And yeah some days I wake up and I am like WTF why has the AB fairy not shown up yet! Then I realize oh yeah this is reality and it just takes time and hard work.

    It took me 11 year to get as big as I was (285lbs) and in 10 months I have just about got rid of more then half of it (I will get below 220lbs). So you just need to keep telling yourself i did not get this way over night so I will not look like I want to over night!! It takes time.

    Yeah that's the way I think. I spent 2012 between 250/265 and I was fat. How can I expect to be skinny @ 280 mental nonsense :laugh:

    It's been about six years for me. I've had two more babies since then, so my progress has been inconsistent.

    About three to four years.

    I'm a better shape than I was before, and feel heaps better. However I'm the same size in clothes and only a couple of kilo's lighter which is quite frustrating.

    Off and on my whole life. Was a super active kid/teenager, slowed down in my 20's, but worked out off and on, now fairly consistently in my 30's. Steadily for 3 years now, playing tennis.
