Getting healthier by the day

[OCReaper949]

I committed to getting healthier this year. Dieting only for the first few months and the gym 3 - 4 days a week starting in April. Still in teardown mode but have trimmed 6" off my waist this year (8" since last winter). Down 4 sizes in pants and 2 in shirts. Can't do the GLP1 meds because of pancreatitis so just diet and exercise. Met my first goal of buying jeans not in the big and tall dept last week. Plan to be done tearing down by the end of the year to begin adding muscle next year. I love the gym and can't figure out why I quit going about 10 years ago! Still under construction but moving in the right direction. A little before pic and a pic today. This is a big reason I've posted very little as I am strictly counting calories AND keto together. Thought I'd share, making it public keeps me held to task!View attachment 723792

That is Awesome and Keto is the way to go! For others out there... Here is the secret (no GLP1 needed): take the weight you want to weight, say 200. You take 200 x 13 (on a scale of 7-21, extreme loss to extreme gain and 13 is moderate steady loss) and that is you calories 200*13=2600 KCal and 200 x1 (for men, women is .75) and that is your protein target. So 200 x 4 (KCal for protein) = 800 is your protein calories which leaves 1800 for whatever you wish.

It works every time. And lift heavy shit...
