Let's get shredded my friends! We got this!

I Would love to connect with some likeminded folks on here! I've been training for just under 2 years, starting my journey at 280lbs with a 42" waist. I have since successfully dieted to 160lbs @ 29-30" waistline. I subsequently bulked back up to 205 and now I am on my first true cutting phase, currently at 187lbs. I have…

Would be happy to help in anyway that I can!

When I first began working out it took me a few months before the effort really started paying off on the scale, likely due to muscle growth. I did notice loss in belt size rather quickly, however. Also, are you sure that you are maintaining a strict caloric deficit?

If you knocked cancer down for the count, some extra weight will be nothing for ya ;-). definitely start by focusing on creating a caloric deficit in the kitchen and then second on exercising -- if you've been out for awhile, start slow!

Good on you for taking this first step! It certainly is tough going at first but you can do it! I would suggest focusing first on maintaining a caloric deficit, second on your macronutrient ratio, and third on your exercise -- start slow, the soreness can be very discouraging if you hit it to hard to quickly!

I'd be happy to assist in any ways that I can! Your biggest factor is going to be maintaining that caloric deficit, focus on eating foods that make you feel full and you'll get there!

Feel free to message me if you need encouragement or advice! I had lost 120lbs at my minimum weight last year.
