Every day we wake up keep moving toward our goal is a success

I was prescribed drugs for depression, it's the easy answer for a doctor. Never had any of them filled,I found that the worlds best anti depressant was the gym and weight loss. Even when I didn't see results on the scale my body felt so much better from going to the gym, fresh air walks in the sun and feeling accomplished.

Amazing! Hard work, dedication! Can't be stopped!

That's is awesome your family must be proud

That's great, keep em coming

I'm not singling out any particular post but if people like me were good at eating in moderation I would never have gotten to 400 lbs. sometimes giving up something for an extended period of time shows a level of commitment and belief in ones self. Then there are things like giving up carbs to break through a plateau or…

Thank you so much I'm going to try the cauliflower and bacon ASAP

Great article DittoDan I think I will ease up on the intensity as needed until I am in ketosis then see how I feel. I can see myself doing the targeted carb boosts around weight training in the future to keep lifting progress going

5 guys burger and fries. Two bacon cheeseburgers and the fries 1840 cal. 124g Fat 80 carbs Fries: 953 cal. 41g Fat 131g Carbs. One of my all time favorites: The Bloomin Onion from Outback it can't be too bad it's an onion right? 1953 cal. / 161g Fat / 116g Carbs......gooday mate!

I lost 90lbs eating sugar. I easily have 90 more to go, I hit major plateaus and suffered from night time binge eating to a point where I had to save 600-700 for my late cravings which were painfully uncontrollable. I got frustrated and have moved in a different direction trying to put my body in ketosis. I put my macros…

That's great I started last Friday I'm interested to see how it goes. The first week I'm not really concerned with the numbers it's all going to be water. Any negative side affects or things to watch for?

You looked great both ways, glad you feelgreat now

Hang in the, it's a process I didn't see much early on after 30 days my body caught on, after 60 I found a groove. You will too. I understand the deal with the forearms but do what you can with compound lifts, start light I did stronglifts 5X5. If that's not an option go hard on the legs they are your biggest muscles and…

It's important for your own personal development to experience all aspects of college life. You don't have to drink just check it out. If you feel like having a drink then limit yourself.

I do stuff that I like and call them active rest days, but I have a lot of weight to lose so I think it's needed. I do boxing for fun and I'm a golf pro so I'll walk 18 holes on an off day 5 miles

Quick question with ICF 5X5 do you add 5 lbs to compound movements just like SL until you need to deload? What about the accessory exercises how often to you increase the weight?

This is why I come back here everyday, great job and thank you for sharing it

My first real girlfriend was at 22, 4 kids and 12 years of marriage later I'm glad I don't have a bunch of exes to block on social media

Great story, could be my life. You still on point?

I look forward to see the results

I stumbled on this post today during a really anxious time waiting for lab results and an hour before going for an ultrasound for a possible hernia. I was full of self pity, I read through as many pages as I could. I want to thank you and congratulate you. You completely turned around my day with your inspiration and the…

I agree, I need to get back here every day good or bad and track my intake and post my exercise as well. I am not buying new clothes!

Thanks, I do appreciate the support

Dissing calorie counting= the 13th step!

Sure topless weight lifting anyone

I have a cure for this epidemic of old people. I am going to open a petting zoo where old people and the like can come in and pet, rub, pinch cheeks and make friendly comments to pregnant woman and children. They can even pose for pictures with them and pay to have it framed in one of those cheesy "family" frames. We will…

I would ditch the cardio and keeps the squats

I completely hear you, when my trainer said he wants me to do hypertrophy my reply was similar to what you said. You cannot increase muscle mass while on a deficit therefore I did not see the benefits of dedicating an entire routine to it. I do like the routine I am doing though because I am still getting strength gains…

Protein really helps me recover. I try to get some in before I lift and always get some in after I lift 30-50 grams. the squats 275 and deadlifts 325 are killing me but I'm still progressing. What I do and yes I realize this is no longer the stronglifts program is do my normal SL warmup as prescribed then I do 2 working…

Playing in my CYO coaches game. I never played before because I was too big to run full court and couldn't fit into the uniform. This year I played, scored and could get up and down the court better than most except for the college kids. The weirdest thing was not giving a second thought to the uniform, my whole life has…
