From 295 to 190. It's hard to believe I'm only about 20-25 pounds from my goal.

The before image on this was around 260. I was trying to win a competition for losing weight in a month(obviously it didnt work, as I was very unmotivated). However my heighest weight is 295(never took a shirtless pic for obvious reasons).

    Looks like you added quite a bit of muscle as well. Nicely done. I seem to see lots of posts that claim you cannot build muscle on a deficit, wondering if that was the case with you?

    You've lost 104 lbs! You're doing a great job in getting healthier and reaching goals you likely never thought possible.

    So proud of you, you inspire me and likely many others to keep on going, one foot in front of the other no matter what!!

    Thanks for the inspiration Joey :smiley:

    Uh. I don't think it's a myth, although I don't think it's 100% true. I'm sure you can gain muscle it's just very difficult. Also if you start heavier, I hear you can build muscle when you cut.
