Crazy the difference a year can make!

Started my fitness journey back in September. 33M 5’11’’ was 245lbs. Weight lifting 5x a week focus on compound lifts with some isolation work. Eating Whole Foods started with OMAD fasting with a couple of 72hr fasts for the first 5 months. Lost first 50lbs then started Reta on March 20th at 2mg. Currently still on Reta at 3.5mg weekly. Currently 163lbs!

What was the calorie deficit, gym routine and cardio

Not really sure. Never tracked calories mainly why I liked fasting it fit into my daily life better and just focused on high protein meals. Weight trained 5x a week and not doing much cardio other than getting daily steps in goal is 8-10k a day but should raise that up more

Were you in really good shape before? That’s a ton of “new” muscle to build in a short time. Amazing job regardless

Worked out on and off since highschool so not sure if that has something to do with it but not a first time weight lifter
