are there changes or am I imagining it?
I’ve been training consistently for a while now and I think I see some changes, but I can’t tell if it’s real progress or just me imagining it.

Help me
What is the thing that frustrates you the most in your physical progress right now?
Because I don't know if many people are like me but personally I feel like I'm training without really knowing what's improving or what I should work on as a priority.

Can't do a squat
That's right. The universal mechanic used for sitting. It's something I could never do. When I sit, I kinda just bend my knees a little and then I'll fall back.
So imagine, as I try to do a squat, I can only barely bend my knees, and if I try to go back, I will literally fall over like a tree getting chopped down.
I used to try to get answers years ago, but never worked at the issue. (I'm 27 atm). All I remember finding is that it could be a mix of things: from weak ankles, to weak core strength, to lack of hip mobility and flexibility, and weak glutes.
If anybody has advice, I'd love to learn and try again and see if I can ever perform a proper squat.
And if anyone can relate or have overcome this exact situation, I would love to hear it to know I'm not alone.
But every physical or massage therapist, or Chiro I've been to, treats it as not a serious thing.

Huge Day For Me!
Today marks a huge milestone in my weight loss journey.
TLDR: I’ve lost 30lbs and am below 290lbs for the first time in 8 years!
I started my journey in January 2025. I had just been diagnosed with diabetes, had a back injury from lack of core strength mixed with an old mattress, and weighed just shy of 320lbs (319). I started eating better, focusing on protein, started drinking more water, switched to diet and zero sugar versions of drinks when I wasn’t drinking water, joined the gym and started with yoga to build up some core muscles.
After I felt comfortable with that I started learning about strength training and going to the gym 3-4 times per week.
In July I had my follow up with my doctor and he said everything was looking great and heading in the right direction. My fasting glucose level had dropped by over 10 points, and my cholesterol had been cut in half. By September I had lost 25 lbs but had also added muscle.
Over the holidays I slipped, a lot, regaining about 19lbs. But had continued going to the gym 2 times per week, just not putting in as much effort. In January I lost my job. When I wasn’t looking for jobs, I had started doing more cardio and still doing strength training averaging 4-5 trips to the gym per week. I managed to get back to my September weight, but couldn’t drop below 295lbs.
3 weeks ago I finally started a new job, it’s more physical than my last job and I do a fair amount of walking.
Which leads to today. Today I weighed in at 288.8lbs!!!
