I just hit 181 lbs. A couple of months ago I was 190+.

Today I had to recertify some stuff at the fire department and I had to do a physical performance test one of my best times ever this journey gets better and better every day

I dislike that I feel embarrassed or ashamed that I have to do assisted pull-ups lol. I shouldn't feel this way, this is part of the journey. I hope everyone else can look at it from a better light and do the work necessary to hit thier goals! Love ya'll LFG

Not really a win, but yet a win non the less. Tweaked my back about 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to do my workouts, but I've been doing ok with my macros (not perfect, but ok) and still lost 2lbs. My back is starting to feel a little better, so I am going to try a light work out tomorrow and see how it goes.

AI in a pinch! I don't have trouble counting the Marcos or doing the math, but when it comes to creating a meal that fits what I need, I blank out. This is when I turn to AI for some inspiration. It has helped me so much to keep the momentum. Today my Marcos are crazy! I have 745 calories left for dinner and the macros are 145-CARBS 9-FATS and 27-PROTEIN How do you even start to meal plan for that in the early stages? Well I went to my Chat-gpt told it what I needed to meet the macros that Matt has outlined and it gave me a few options. This isn't the answer to everything, but this is a helpful tool so you don't get stuck in the beginning. I hope by the end of my journey I have enough macro knowledge that I can do this in my head without even thinking about it. Anyone else use AI for recipe help?
