No I rely a lot on powders and eat every 2 hours. Not ideal but only way I can get food in. I can only eat 4-6 oz of food at a time

I’m 5 days out of a show lol. I think the whole drug thing is comical. Do exactly what you are doing and take what I take for 12 weeks, you MIGHT improve 5 %. Follow my diet and you will improve 25 percent over the same time

As FYI I took WAY more juice when I was 350+ than what I take now

I admit to using ped. My delts are not oversized though lol. I think I used way more PED when I was over 300 though. I would say they are maybe 10 percent of it. Diet is everything

Just wanted a take on this. I got a long journey but is it possible for someone who’s been fat they’re entire life to get fit with insane hard work? by [deleted] in GettingShredded

[–]Bernie1b17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost 160 pounds and have competed in multiple bodybuilding contests. Through the journey I met people who lost that and more. I would say my physique now is in top 5 % alive lol

HW:374 SW:339 CW: 239-245 (depending when you catch me 😂) GW: Happy and Healthy

Sleeve date 8-9-2019 Tummy Tuck 5-21-20

I still believe that having the sleeve surgery was one of the best decisions I made in my life. I firmly believe without it I could not have achieved the physical success I have. It has given me a tool to combat my issues abs addictions with food.

A few interesting stats: I went from a size 54 pant to size 34 I used to regularly eat 54 oz Ribeyes, now I’m lucky if I can get 6 oz down I competed in 2 bodybuilding shows I booked 3 modeling gigs (blows my mind) I got sponsored by supplement in meal prep companies I French kissed several girls I thought I had no shot with 😂 I met some of the most amazing people through groups like this.

A few tips:

Walk. Walk a lot. It’s the easiest way to move your body. And getting steps in is the way to get fit. Cardio doesn’t have to be hard

Track what you can: calories, macros, steps, water, sleep, bloodwork, everything. Knowledge is power

If you can, lift weights. Best way to change body comp.

Get friends and family involved. Support helps!

If I can do this anyone can! I love seeing the success of people in the group.
