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.

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.
