Two and a bit years of maintenance, first year recomping, second year bulk and cutting. Theres actually around 4lb difference in weight, but I can see a massive difference in body composition, size and the amount of loose skin (I've lost a total of 147lb).

I've been maintaining a relative body size/shape for about 4 years now, but as you can see my weight has fluctuated with gained and lost muscle mass. I rarely weigh myself except when taking progress photos because I find it to be the least reliable standard for me (I know other maintainers need more frequent feedback). Pictures and measurements work much better for me.

that's funny. Mom23 you always impress me with your physique. I am having trouble spotting where the 9 pound change from 97 to 106 tho. Perhaps your thighs might be more muscular? I can see the difference between the 109 and 106 cut a little bit. I enjoy the maintenance photos because it does show the scale is not the entire picture for us and how we can change for the better over time <goals!!!>7

The 106 photos were actually on the same day, just one flexed and one not. You just can't save them on the same day in the app. The 97 to 109 was added muscle and loss of fat. The 109 to 106 was loss of muscle (mostly upper body) due to injury, stress and not eating properly. I also think that as I'm going through perimeopause, my fat storage is slowly starting to move from my legs to my belly.4 -

I am just over a month in to recomp. The left hand picture is me when I first hit my goal weight of 112lbs. The right hand picture is me now after upping my calories and lifting heavy 3-4 times a week. I am loving this journey so far 😊30 -

Are you following a known strength program? Or one made specifically for you?
Asking for friend, really. You look great.5 -

Thank you Marcy. I follow known rules for natural bodybuilding and my workout varries in time. Most of time I do 2 x 3 day split per week, 11-15 sets for bigger/more complex muscle groups and 9-12 for smaller. Trying to finish in 1hr and mix heavy and less heavy workouts to be able to recover. Still learning lot, not an expert. (but e.g. started with full body every 2 days and was slowly splitting and adding sets to get most of progressive overload without strong DOMS and pushing too much on weights in the early beginning)5 -
@fitom80 Got it, thanks!!4

This is my recomp of one year Dec 2018 - Dec 2019. I have been as high as 118lbs and low as 108lbs this year. Happy with the arm and face changed though!
Left:
115lbs
19.6% BF
Right:
111lbs
19.2% BF
Calories: 1800 before exercise
Macros: 110P, 200C, 51F
The process is painfully slow but at least I see results! Planning to bulk to 118 by March and then try to cut. Wish me luck.

I am inspired, and I am setting my goal to follow your example. I lost some LBM when I lost weight, and my 2020 goal is to get my BF down. I am starting just a tiny bit above where you did a year ago. Thanks for the inspiration.

Finally put all the pieces together for a great half marathon run! 1hr 42minutes! Felt so good to run close to my potential, as my last few halfs have all had problems.
