Long time lurker, I’ve been over weight for years and tried a few different things and I am finally on the right track. I started at 156.6kgs and I currently weigh in at 118.1kgs age 36. I have lots of goals but I would like to be at 100kgs by the time June 1st comes around.

Another Transformationer?
I’ll be following along.
First day of new year so it’s time to start my transformation log. I’m at week 5 of a 12 week program that I started and I am really enjoying it so far.
Squat: 5x90kg 5x90kg 5x90kg
Flat BB Bench: 5x72.5kg 5x72.5kg 5x72.5kg
Face pulls: 12x15kg 12x20kg 12x20kg
Seated Cable Row: 12x47kg 12x47kg 12x47kg
Seated BB Curl: 10x25kg 10x 25kg 8x25kg
Tricep Rope Push down: 12x20kg 12x20kg 12x20kg
BB Curl with fat grips: 12 x 15kg 12 x 15kg 12x15kg
That alone is a win.
You can do it! I dropped 40 lbs from Nov thru April last year so I know it’s possible.
I hope I can, I have not been this weight in almost 10 years, I’ve come close a couple of times but quit for one reason or another.

Thanks I need it, weight loss is such a mind fuck.
Given where you are in your journey and how much weight you have already lost. Maybe try to focus on strength and conditioning for a little while and don’t over focus on the weight. Getting healthy, losing fat, gaining muscle all takes time. This isn’t something you do for 3 months and then you’re done. This is a lifestyle choice and something you can do forever. Slow improvements over time lead to really big changes. I get that you just want to lose the fat and look and feel good. But you have already done an amazing job to get where you are and that is only the first step.
Number one priority with losing weight is to keep that diet clean and on plan. So make sure you are doing that. Then just train hard, focus on strength for a while and you may well be surprised at what happens.

My mind set is slowly changing to this, by no means am I giving up or anything like that but I am slowly getting to the point where I am focusing all my attention to my diet and my training and let the rest take care of itself. I’ve taken the batteries out of the scales and i’ll jump on them again in a couple of months and ill take a photo in a couple of months to track my progress.

Good stuff man. Keep getting after it
I didnt like my last attempt at 100kg squats so i repeated the weight today and it felt much easier, I must of just had a bad day. But the weight is starting to get heavy but im not sure if thats just a mental thing or physical. Benching felt great as well but i am starting to struggle a little bit unracking it.
