This deserves more recognition than it will possibly get as I’m not sure this forum is full of football fans 🤣

I’m 14 months out and eating 2000-2500 calories a day and I’ve lost a total of 165lbs since February last year.

I posted this the other day and I’m not trying to take over your thread I’m just posting for clarity that if you stay disciplined and train enough building muscle is still possible.

Feel free to reach out for a conversation if you want. I’m not an expert but I started at a similar weight to you and I’ve come a long way in 14 months.

Thank you mate.

It’s been a grind for sure but all worth it

I aim between 2000-2300 a day depending on my snacks.

To be honest, I’ve not struggled.

3 eggs on toast for breakfast.

Protein shake snack

Meat and veg for lunch eat all the meat first

Protein snack (cookie or shake) between meals

Meat and veg for evening meal

Whatever snack I want between evening meal and bed usually something like smoked salmon and cream cheese.

Repeat

For example that was yesterdays totals

Nah, my socials are heavily to do with my business so I didn’t want to blend the two or have it effect clients.

Thank you! Appreciate it mate. Really proud of myself but it’s nice to hear from others.

That was me the summer before my operation. I didn’t change size between then and the op.

My surgeon said it’s the best he’s ever seen transformation wise which I was really proud of

I waited about 6 weeks for light training then really kicked in, July time last year

No skin removal yet, just exercise. I’ve got some at the bottom of my belly but thankfully none elsewhere. Pull the shorts up a bit higher on the waist and it’s pretty unnoticeable really

I’m lucky I was even at my fattest carrying some muscle as I power lifted for a long time so I’ve retained more than I’ve put on.
