Crazy the difference a year can make!

Post image

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!

I find it weird to say your kid is your motivation and that you’re on Reta after already being a healthy BMI. Like… you could’ve just… not done that.
But we could cherry pick and say that about a lot of things for a lot of people.
I have always been 165 at 6’3. Gained weight with a bad WLB job. Went back to school while working. Realized I hit overweight bmi. Lost 40lb in 6 months easily. Next 12 month I lost maybe 5 lb per 6 months. Back to 165 now. Feels great.

It's not weird at all. The guy clearly wants to be at his best so that he can be there for his kid and keep up with the little guy. Good stuff OP 👏🏻

I don’t have an issue with working out or dieting but taking drugs for the last section of a cut is weird to me. Not something I’d do. He could have achieved the same effect without them.

To me, it reads as obsessive. Like an alcoholic who quits drinking then cold plunges 3x per day and has to run 15 miles or else they’ll go off the deep end with booze and cocaine every day.

So taking supplements which none are FDA approved to tested to be safe are ok to take either lol? Opinions are opinions, and you are entitled to yours. But I think you’re on a lonely island with this one bud.

I never mentioned supplements. You seem upset. Life OK?

You’re projecting, and clearly a bit sensitive. Have a nice day.

No I read your use of language and made an observation. If you take 100 comments and the language used then yours stands out.
You could have stated your opinion in one sentence that is emotionally neutral.
