I’m so glad the post gave you some inspiration, it’s exactly why I took the time to do it. You’ll get there my friend just take one step at a time. In answer to your question, I completely understand with what others have suggested about getting down the gym now……BUT, gym and exercise in general only account for 5-10% of…

That means a lot, thank you! And yeah—I totally agree, I hate the word “obese” too. It doesn't capture the full story at all. I'm finally in a place where I feel good in my own skin, and it's taken time, trial and error, and patience. I’m glad my journey resonated with you ❤️

Really appreciate that! Sure—here’s a typical keto day for me: Breakfast: Coffee with MCT oil & cream, maybe eggs and cheese Lunch: Tuna salad with olive oil mayo, spinach, avocado Dinner: Fatty meat like chicken thighs or steak with some broccoli or courgette (zucchini) Snacks (if needed): Boiled eggs, almonds, cheese, or…

Thank you! And hey, don’t knock the “100th time”—what matters is that you’re back at it now. I’ve had more restarts than I can count too. Just focus on one day at a time, stack the habits, and you’ll surprise yourself. You’ve absolutely got this 💥

Cheers! Honestly, I’ve had to unlearn a lot of the scale/BMI obsession I picked up over the years. It’s just one part of the puzzle, and not always the best one! Appreciate the encouragement—a victory lap might be in order soon 😄🏁

Thanks so much! I wasn’t sure if sharing would help anyone, but the feedback and kind words really mean a lot. I’ll definitely keep pushing forward—and I hope to see your progress too! 🙌

Haha thank you again! You're a legend for showing love on both posts—I really appreciate it. It still feels surreal at times but hearing feedback like this really keeps the fire lit 🔥💪

Thanks so much! Really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Totally agree with you on the new lifter advantage and having the fuel from higher body fat—it’s been a huge part of my results. I started with a pretty big surplus in stored energy 😅 so that helped fuel muscle growth even in a deficit. Re: Mentzer-style…

Ah I totally hear you—that number on the scale can really mess with your head, especially when you’re doing all the right things. The fact you’re building muscle and fuelling yourself properly postpartum is actually amazing progress already 👏 One thing that helped me early on was tracking more than just weight. I used a…

Hey thanks, that means a lot! 🙌 My routine is pretty beginner-friendly actually, so you're in a great spot to start. I train 3 times a week, usually full-body or upper/lower split depending on the week. Here's a rough idea of what it looks like: Day 1 – Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps) Incline chest press Dumbbell shoulder…

Thank you so much! @springlering62…. I really appreciate the kind words and encouragement. Honestly, I never expected to enjoy sharing my journey this much, but if it helps others, I’m all for it! And you’re absolutely right about BMI - it’s a weirdly outdated metric, and I know it doesn’t tell the full story. I can feel…

Eight months ago, I was 25 stone (159 kg) with a body fat percentage of 34%. This morning, I weighed in at 98 kg with 23% body fat. I’m still considered “obese” by BMI standards, but I feel stronger, healthier, and more in control than I have in years. I wanted to share my journey - not because I have all the answers, but…

My NVS is fitting into L clothes again, and being able to shop in superdry for the very first time in my life 😂😅

💪🏻💪🏻 some great results in this thread all. Keep up the good work!!
