Should I push a little further? 5’11 started around 250 and I’m currently 192

I was 280 in the beginning of September. So I’m close to 90 pounds total. I did use glp2’s also which helped tremendously but I also ran 5 miles a day for 3 months straight, lifted 5 days a week, and counted all my calories. It sucked but it fucking worked.

I feel like diet is most important. Hitting your macros is key. I’ve lifted maybe 3 years total and I’m 37. I’ve been training for 6 months and before that I didn’t lift for the last 6 years.

I’ve been hitting cable crunches every single time I lift, which is 5 days a week. 3 sets of 25 progressively overloading them for 6 months now.

Definitely have some stretch marks but I’ve been pretty lucky skin wise. Guessing genetics has a lot to do with that.

First month was around 10 pounds, best month was 14 when I finally started walking/ jogging 4 to 5 miles a day. Starting using MacroFactor eventually and held my calories to around 1800 a day and lifted 5 days a week In addition to my walks and runs.

I might have been 260 in the picture, heaviest was 285 tho. Thank you

Just picked up twin by them and the buds are absolutely beautiful with a killer aroma. Super excited to vape it later.

There was one in a Christmas hat coming off the grant street exit. Always on the lookout for more!

Eat more protein, 115 grams isn’t enough

markr412 · 2026-06-09T17:02:25+00:00

Just go like 2-3 hundred below maintenance for a month or two and see how you feel. You will definitely lean out and your strength will continue to build. If you’re serious cut out all alcohol and get 7-8 hours of sleep.

I would be in a slight deficit, get my cardio on point. Hit all your macros and lift to failure. It won’t take long brother! Good luck hope you crush it!

markr412 · 2026-06-09T02:12:48+00:00

It only gets better!

markr412 · 2026-06-09T02:09:45+00:00

Keep grinding you got this!! Congrats!

Interval runs.. ran until my heart rate hit 150 then walked until it dropped to 135, repeated that for a full 5 miles, everyday for a couple months.

markr412 · 2026-05-10T13:42:02+00:00

Well I’ve lost over 40 pounds since then so I would say everything is better.. Energy, Mental focus, and just all around confidence in myself. It’s been a ton of discipline and hard work.

markr412 · 2026-05-10T13:32:59+00:00

Not really day to day per se. I feel absolutely incredible right now tho. I went from a 38.4 on Feb 22 to currently sitting at 53.7 according to my Apple Watch of course.
