Working on bettering myself through weight loss. I've always been active, playing sports, but the last 10 years have been hard on me.
Finally wearing a size Medium!
Lost 132lbs so far. Was thinking about bulking at 200lb, but will likely continue dropping closer to 190lb.
Heard somewhere "Cut to 10% BF, bulk to 15% BF".
Thanks for your support all!

You keep losing weight. Ill work on continuing to find it. Congrats.
ArtistX
CoVid certainly keeps things harder. Being stuck inside all day makes losing weight annoying.
928494938483929
For many Im sure. Cant lie though, I have my own lazziness to blame before the virus.

Damn @op congrats. I’ve tried and failed so many times.

That's great, dude. You really let yourself go after you betrayed the Starks but you came back strong.

Took me a second. Nice.

There was a short "Henry Cavill" moment and then Theon went through. I'm okay with all of them.

LMAO, I've gotten that a couple of times.
Imapreacher
Share what you did to lose the weight bro.
ArtistX
Sure thing. Go to tdeecalculator.net to find your maintenance calories, then eat under that. 500 calories under daily is 1lb of loss/week.

You looked good to begin with, now you look GOOOOOOD
TexanSailor
You must be a tall dude cuz that 350 didn’t look like 350 on a lot of folks.
ArtistX
I am 6'3" :D

Takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there. Well done, and congratulations! You look great!
ArtistX
Thank you so much :)
FukLor3ttaEb3rt
Can't believe you replied! You're a good dude. Thanks!
imherenowitsok
You look progressively sadder as you got past the 255 pound mark
imherenowitsok
I wanna make sure you know that this great work even if it's hard. Keep it up and feel proud of yourself.
ArtistX
Haha, don't put too much credo into the facial expressions. My happiness has actually been 1000% better. Was pretty depressed last year.
Vanish914
Keep up the excellent work!
ArtistX
Thanks!

The man who has his health has a million dreams. The man who doesn't has only one. Congrats @op
uvort84
Damn, that's deep bruh.
ArtistX
Thank you for this. That's incredible.
PickleDemon5
Bulking is fairly pointless unless on steroids.
ArtistX
I mean.. no?
PickleDemon5
Small amount of research will teach you otherwise, unless you're training for powerlifting or don't care about getting fat, it's pointless
chrishallett83
Hells yeah dude, you look incredible! You must feel a lot better too?
ArtistX
Oh for sure. Being able to actually DO things is amazing.
Caper2566
You're an inspiration **eats another potato chip**
lurksohardmotherfuckerswannafindme
Hey if you do a 15 mile bike ride before eating a bowl of chips...you good.
ArtistX
Haha! My biggest weakness are chips and salty things.
Flowerlady0
You are cute the whole way though this! Post recipes and grocery lists.
ArtistX
Haha, thank you :)
ArtistX
45 calorie tortillas, 35 calorie bread, "zero calorie" noodles and rice. Lots of veggies, chicken, turkey, and pork loin.
Omgur14
Same here, do you replace it with an alternative when you feel peckish?
ArtistX
Honestly, I still eat salty things. There are zero calorie salt and vinegar seasonings i'll put on baked 45 calorie tortillas. REALLY good.
Omgur14
Thanks! I'll give it a go. Congratulations on the weight loss and healthy lifestyle!
iamthisguy247
Is that the best way to do it if you’re overweight? Lean out, then add bulk. I always think I should just use my existing “bulk”.
Enzr8080
Intermittent fasting (16:8) has really helped me, I have PCOS too which makes weight loss additionally difficult.
ArtistX
The "best" way is the way that works for you. For me, I was sick of being fat. I wanted to drop to a normal weight, then add bulk. Then cut
iamthisguy247
Thanks, yeah I’ve added muscle but have a lot of body fat so you’d never know it. Maybe I have to just focus on cutting down first.
ArtistX
Really, that's MY best way. Cut to 15% and see how you look. Are you happy with your shape? Cut a little more to see more muscle.
Winnebagoman
you can gain muscle and loose fat simultaneously. it's not easy and not as effective but it'll give you a start on bulking and prob make you
Winnebagoman
want to keep it up
sirfanciesadrought
1 Sorry if I rude but a con of losing a lot of weight is the excess skin. It's not that much in your case but have you found a solution?
sirfanciesadrought
2 I was really thin throughout my life but gained like 15 kgs or 25 of pounds(I guess) since an accident. I'm worried about flabby skin..
ArtistX
No worries. Honestly, I don't know how it will be yet. I have another bulk and cut cycle, and then I should know if I need to remove it.
BeardedCactusJack
I'm guessing a major change in how you eat?
ArtistX
Yup. Went from 6000-8000 calories a day and not exercising to 1,700 calories a day and slightly exercising.
ThaEnder
Holy shit. What the hell were you eating?
Jackrabbitry
Obviously anything that didn't run fast enough.
ArtistX
Oh god... Qdoba every day, gas station crap on the way home, pizza and wings for dinner. Almost never had money... all went to my boobs
