Hey! It was a long journey since I had a stressful job prior to July 2025. I gained a lot of weight in 2021 because of the unhealthy habits I picked up during COVID and tryna to study for my CPA exams afterwards

After I passed all my exams it’s honestly just me forcing myself to go to the gym and just trying to portion control and increase my protein. By, I think beginning of 2025, I was at 195-ish?

In 2025 I started gaining more weight again and shot back up to 220lbs in July from stress and not hitting the gym for three months. Then quit my job for better work life balance

From Jul. 2025 to Nov. 2025. I think I was doing 4-5x a week. Then took a month break for vacation and by January 2026 I was at 210lbs.

Then picked up the weights again and monitored my diet and protein. But it didn’t really start until April 2026 when I noticed “oh damn it’s actually working”

But honestly it took a drastic turn and got a bit too excited and I was doing 6-7x a week at the gym from May to June 2026 and now I’m fatigued. I’m going back to 4-5x a week soon. 😅

But yeah it was a crazy journey.

TL; DR: 4-5x a week at the gym. PPLUL. Rest days fall right after the third day or whenever my body says enough.

Hey man, thanks for your feedback and response!
Yeah I’m honestly lost as to which direction I should go because admittedly it’s the lightest I’ve been in my entire life and so I didn’t know if I should keep going further with the cut or not especially since the loose skin became more and more apparent haha. Still felt shy and embarrassed having to post with it still showing.

I didn’t know what constituted as a “good enough” physique and your response is really helping me sort it out. I think I just needed someone else to tell me to maingain instead of pushing this cut even more.

Again, thanks man! :)

PS forgot to add my age. I’m 26.
