Transformation Update: 230 lbs to 146 lbs
For those that don't know me, welcome. For those that have already seen some of the pics. Stay tuned.
In 2023 I was the heaviest I'd ever been in my life at 230 lbs. I was drowning myself in booze to cope with life struggles. And around August I decided to change all that for good.
I lost 50 lbs the first two months with rolling, prolonged fasting. I maintained the weight with periodic prolonged fasting and VLEDs. I did have some ups and downs along the journey, but its been close to 3 years now and ultimately ever ounce is still off.
My arms have the least amount of fat distribution in my body (verified via DEXA), typically around 1% less than average. So for a progress pics comparison and visual metric, its easiest to tell how my progress is going.
I haven't taken any progress pictures for a while, then suddenly at a rest stop, I noticed how defined my arms and shoulders are getting. This is the most athletic looking body composition I've had in my life.
And I'm still prolonged fasting. I estimate maybe 7% body fat at present. Max is absolutely 8% (I've had DEXAs at this weight with much less definition at 9%).
At any rate, I wanted to brain dump that in the moment...
Much love and many blessings.
