u/Dull_Mix_4660

Two years ago, I hit a turning point. At 295 lbs, I knew I had to make a change. I committed to a routine centered on weightlifting and strict dieting. While I struggled to maintain a consistent cardio routine, I focused on my lifts and my macros, and the results have been great (except the fight against the body dysmorphia, has been ROUGH) I am now down to 185lbs.

Looking back, if I could change one thing, it would be my approach to the deficit. In my desperation to see the scale drop, I cut my calories too aggressively for too long. I ignored the advice to take it slow, and as a result.

How did we do?

Macros:

40-60F

Workout split:

10k steps daily, sometimes we run a 5k-10k randomly once a month or so
