In 2020, I dropped from around 260 lbs to 200 even by cutting carbs and walking a lot. This wasn't ideal and I know I lost a ton of muscle, but I felt like too much of a fatass to walk in a gym.

In 2021, I started hitting the weights and got substantially stronger and better looking, but shot up to 215ish. At midyear, I started counting calories and aimed for 2400 per day, and got back to 200 while still making strength gains.

In 2022, I will continue with counting calories. It's fairly simple to do and is a great way to hold myself accountable and not overeat. I slacked off for the holidays, but have been pretty consistent with it overall.

At 6', I'm aiming for 180 by the end of 2022, but I will increase calorie intake at any point if strength gains plateau.

I posted in the Inbody thread earlier, but my goal is to lose about 10-12lbs overall. Currently at 198.5 and 15.9% BF. In mid September, I was at 182lbs and 13.2% BF. I'd like to get back to that BF% or less, but weight about 6 or so lbs more overall weight.

I'm going to go back to calculating my macros and counting overall calorie intake. I havent ran the numbers yet, but I figure I'll be shooting for about 2500 total calories a day and about 160g of protein.

dude to go from 260 to even 200 and totally change your body is a big fricking deal so congrats on that

when i went from 245 to 182 a couple years back it was hard as frick so i can only image 260 to 200.

if goal is to go 200 to 180 totally doable to not lose strength, might not gain a ton, but you can not lose any for sure.

FE that is inspiring, I’m in the same boat you were in and now I will go back to my counting calories. I use to do it my mid 30s and I was 175. Now I’m 48 and 270. I’m back at it again and have only been on it for my first week back. Goal is to get back to 230-40 and get back into gym, right now I’m running outside and inside treadmill. Your comment stoked me. It’s harder late 40s than when I was mid 30s, but I’m determined. Keep your work up.
