I've just completed two cycles of Six Week Shortcut to Shred, however without the "cardio acceleration" BS that the program comes with - I want to lift, not do half assed lifts because I am hanging out of my arse from skipping or jumping.
I had just tipped the scales at 100.6kg, and the second pic is taken at 85.6kg - a total of 15kg in 15 weeks.
Zero loss of strength, increase on some lifts. Protein around 130-180 each day.
Moving on to a new program on Monday as I want to bulk up for around 12 weeks, and then I will make a decision based on the success at that point.A.L.L. Leukemia 2009 - 2012

Transform
Still trying to build muscle and cut fat. Working constantly and in a bad marriage left me lost and unhappy. After my divorce I used the pain I felt as a springboard for change. Not the best transformation but went from 226lbs to about 165lbs. So much happier with myself and my moods are so much better.

Nice!! Something major changed in your life? I know it’s only one pic but dude you look a bit upset and not settled in the first pic. In the second pic you look so figured out and calm. Wow! Congrats
What’s your starting and ending bodyweight?
And starting and current lifts on bench, squat, deadlift?**^^ Work hard AND more importantly, work smart ^^**

Thank you for the kind words. The first pic was at a low point in my life... a family member I was very close to had died a few months prior and I'd just gone through a rough break up. That combined with other things going on in my life... something just clicked and I changed everything. Fitness first, then an amazing new girlfriend... then I got a new job and moved to a new city with the new girlfriend... it's been a wild ride.
I'm 5'11" and I started at 195lb, cut to 160, bulk to 180, now I'm 158 nearing the end of another cut. I've tried to be honest with myself and what I will and won't do through all of this and when I started I knew there was no way I'd consistently go to the gym so I decided to see how far I could get with dumbbells at home and that's all I've done, so I don't know my bench/squat/deadlift numbers. I don't have the space for a rack in my apartment so sooner or later I'm going to have to decide if I want to get a gym membership and continue to progress or not.

It’s officially been a year since I started eating healthier and working out and its now been 8 months since I’ve started lifting. I’m 5’0, starting weight was 148 lbs and now down to 124 lbs. Was originally focused on just getting skinny but now I’m focused on building and exposing muscle. 1st picture from May 2019 before I started working. 2nd from May 2020. 3rd is most recent Aug 2020

Recomp 2019 June - current
Weights and cardio, 70/30. Now in Aug - I have started focusing on heavier lifting.
Quite pleased with the progress, I am taking my time !
Started at 117kg - now 95kg. On a cut currently.
Love lifting heavy, I think it suits me - but I am a former runner also so I love my runs too (6-10km).
There was a dash of keto in there also aswell as IF, neither of which I bother with now - its all about the Cals in and cals out. Cheat meals Fridays, and a little more relaxed on Saturdays.....
I reckon another 12 months and I could be close to my current targets.
Everyone...keep up the amazing work - its you guys that inspire me to keep it going!

Hello guys, my first time posting on this forum.
My name is Denis and i also started this journey of losing fat recently (4 months ago).

In the first 2 pictures, i had 95 kg. In the third picture i managed to cut to 88kg, and in the last picture its my current form.
ps. I am not using a personal trainer.

Just what I needed
Hi DraxusD,
I had to sign up for an account just to reply that your post was exactly what I needed to see. Your progress is amazing! I haven't been happy with my weight for a long time, feel like a sloth all the time. Always had problems with eating way too much and massive cravings for food. Recently at my high point of 250lbs I had enough. 3 months ago I cut my portions to about 1/3 or less of what I was eating. Over 3 months I have dropped 40lbs without working out. I now have incorporated a simple workout to build my core and help facilitate the weight loss a little more. I'm aiming to go down to about 180lbs. But after seeing your post I am thinking I may be able to go even lower, maybe 160 should be my mark as I am about the same height as you. I just wanted to say thank you for your honesty in your posts! I am on my own journey, but it's nice to see people that already did a journey that is very similar to mine!
