Dear all:
I will henceforth be identified as a powerlifter. Thanks in advance for your flexibility.
Best,

Do we have a label for a person who really just works out because it helps him digest snack foods better? Powereatingbuilder maybe?
I donāt seem to fit into a lane.

@EmilyQ, I think Dave Tate said something along the lines that powerlifters have to wear their lifting belts at all times, so people know theyāre not just regular fat people.

Iām still losing weight at this stage. Have gotten used to a lower-carb diet; still have some beer, and a lot of my carbs are baked sweet potatoes. Today that was my only carbs - a dos equis and baked sweet potato (brn sugar if course) with some delicious grilled fish.
In the mirror Iām like, whose this skinny dude? Havenāt seen this guy for 6 months, or really at this point, years!
Iāll get a progress pic soon. Nothing crazy like you awesome jacked mofos, but it is improvement.

What was starting weight and where are you now? Awesome they your making progress. It really does feel good!
I was 200lbs early December, 194lbs when I joined this on 1/1.
176.8 this morning.
Disappointing that with all this loss, the abs are still being shy.
6ft tall.
Just tried posting photos but having issues, Iāll try later from a pc.

I agree your rocking man - but at 6ft and 176 maybe itās time to eat for muscle a little more?
Itās just a thought- I mean how much do you want to lose. Iām 6ā4ā 230+ and trying to gainā¦
With your dedication you can definitely achieve whatever ya want.

Down 9lbs so far, putting the diet on hold for a bit and trying to find the happy middle between post workout icecream and being hungry all the time. Feel like I only have about 5lbs to go to reach my desired look. Shoulder veins and striations coming in, good thing I store all my fat in my love handles and low back so at least I can look good in a tank while taking a break

I feel like I am this weird plateau area now where I have lost 4 or 5 kilo, and still feel some days that:
-I am still fat in the places I donāt want fat
-Donāt really show any kind of impressive muscle anywhere
-Am not particularly strong
-Weight and fat loss have stalled, despite being in a deficit
-Am still old and bald
-I just kind of suck
So I will both congratulate you guys on your progress, while simultaneously mentally punching you in the face over the internet.

Same thing happens to me every time I try a cut. I lose a bunch of weight, lose some strength and still donāt look that good. Thatās why now I only care about strong and donāt really care about my love handles !!

You mean hate handles.
No I mean love because my girls tell me they love me all cuddly !!
See now I am unsure if you are talking about girls as in children, or girls as in you have a harem of worshippers.
