I want to start by saying: you're in the RIGHT place. I'm stoked to help you kickstart your sustainable fat loss journey with what will be THE MOST VALUE-DRIVEN & FRIENDLY FITNESS COMMUNITY you've ever been part of ☺️. Bold, right? Well, my mentor once told me: first, you gotta give yourself PERMISSION to dream BIG. And that's what I'm doing. I'm Darren aka @darrenliufitness, and I'm here to help you, the busy professional, finally learn how to lose fat while eating as much food as possible. It's the same system that's helped hundreds of busy people lose over 30+ lbs in 6 months (and keep it off). All you need to do is show up and engage yourself with this amazing community. 👉 The ONLY thing you need to do now is head to the "CLASSROOM" and start.

I want to take a second to recognize a few people who showed up this month. Not the loudest. Not the “perfect” ones. Just consistent, engaged, doing the work. That’s what these monthly prizes are about. So here are this month’s standouts 👇 (If your name isn’t here this time, don’t read into it — consistency compounds, and this rotates every month.) 🥇 1st Place: @Usra Shah I’ll be sending you a private Loom breakdown of your week — keep an eye out for my DM. 🥈 2nd Place: @Kathleen Haney You’ll get a personalized roadmap + custom calories/macros. 🥉 3rd Place: @Sandra Müller You’ll also get a personalized roadmap + custom calories/macros. 🟢 4th & 5th Place: @Jessica Clarke & @Shiva V You’ll both get a head start in next month’s Featured Member challenge 👀 Your presence in here mattered — encouraging others, sharing honestly, and keeping things real! Really proud of the energy in here lately. This is exactly how communities become something special. On to the next month 👊

The lady who shaped my moral compass. The lady who worked 3 jobs after migrating to Canada. The lady who sang me bedtime songs every night (I can still hear them vividly) The lady who had 3 boys but never made any of them feel less or more than the other (that’s a powerful quality). Everything ended with “I love you”. Not everyone has the same blessing as I did — and I don’t take that lightly. So, for me to be able to give back and guide her and my dad into a healthier body… that’s a dream. That’s my duty as a son. We watched her and my dad's parents pass early from frailty, cancer, and obesity. I’m trying to make my parents see that although it’s common, it’s not normal. 📷 Photo timeline: 👉 2018: Probably the heaviest I’ve seen her. This is when she visited my wife and I and we went on a cruise around Asia. 👉 2021: Hyperthyroidism hit. She lost a lot of weight, but not in the healthy way. Muscle loss was apparent too. She felt chronically low in energy. Went on meds. 👉 Jan 2024: She visited me in BKK. She put back a lot of her weight. I taught her how to track food, I showed her how to train. She kept walking. 👉 Jan 2025: She visited again— totally different person. She trains 3x/week, does Zumba & sauna, and she can eyeball food now. Completely off the meds (if I'm not mistaken) I’m just lucky my ASIAN parents listen to me 😆 If you have parents whom you wish took care of themselves better, lead by example first. That’s the best you can do. Don’t let your own kids wish the same thing for you ❤️❤️ Age ain’t shit! Proud of you @Mary Liu
