Improvement
Good morning! Don't forget to eat something. This morning marks a year since I started getting healthier. I started at 320 lb. Today I weigh 180 and I'm strong enough to do Dragon Flags with one hand, chin-ups, pull ups and so on. I'm not quite fast enough and strong enough to help people who need help, but I'm close. Probably by Halloween, definitely by Christmas. Your support has meant so much to me and keeps me going. Thank you and take a second to celebrate yourselves.

10 months in the gym and I feel I've made some real progress. I've lost about 15lbs and recomped my body, I'm 185lbs and 5'9 at 36 years old.

@Kyle Samson I don't go to the gym, but these are follow-ups to my message earlier today. That is to say, you have a great idea there. All calisthenics, no weights. These are about a year apart. I don't have more pictures for you, but I do have numbers. From 320 to 180, which is about 11.5 lbs a month of fat loss, with somewhere between 10-12 lbs of muscle gain total
Progress.
I just did my first one arm Dragon flag. Anti-rotation is real. You all have made such an impact with me going forward, so thank you again. I've been in a 1300 daily caloric deficit, on average anyway, for 11 months. In that time, I have gone down from 320 lb with absolutely zero muscle definition to 189 as of this morning with noticeable muscle definition, but the calisthenic kind, so I look more like Spider-Man and less like Batman. I'm almost done. I point that part out because it's important to know when to take breaks and when you reach the end of a quest that it's okay to not immediate the reach for a second one. One mark of a strong person is going forward, that's true, but another mark of a strong person is a person who knows when to breathe. I am very much looking forward to not eating in a deficit anymore, because while this deficit has helped me shrink and focus, what's the point in being lean and strong and fast if I'm not firing on all cylinders? Take time for you. It's not selfish to make sure that you rested, especially if the reason you're being rested is so you can be in service to others at full capacity

@Christopher Broome Hey, thanks. I appreciate the ask. You know? People keep asking me that. I feel the same. From my perspective, the shift has been gradual, so it feels the same for the most part. Still, being able to do dragon squats feels cool. I wear a medium now, so I can buy clothes from whoever instead of being limited to brands that specialize in larger fits (and you'll pay for it). I'm free to eat whatever I like. I don't remember the last time I was tired (outside of deliberate energy spent) or crashed out midday. I don't really think about it outside questions like this one. Got to be strong enough and fast enough to help folks who need help. It's about others. When I get my new ID, I'm going to be a volunteer firefighter

@Tony D. Thank you so much
New fit
For the first time as an adult, my chest is bigger than my midsection. It feels really weird not to have to consider my stomach when buying a shirt. Your constant support helps me keep going, so thank you!

Mountain Top Meal
Hey hey! We're from so many different places, so I bet there's an ocean of different preferences and considerations for this question, and I can't wait. Anyway, I'm about 20 lb away from abs I could wash dishes with, and at this rate, that's 2 to 3 months from now. It's not about the abs, but I'm not upset about them. Got to be strong enough and fast enough to help people who need help It's about time I picked out something to eat as a celebratory, top-of-the-mountain type of thing. What meal do I want (considering it will be around Christmas) after losing 150 pounds (46% of my original weight) in 15 months? Hit me with your best, most indulgent, happiest memory recommendations.
