Hi Evo bros,
I came across this site initially trying to source some good quality peptides but found amazing community vibes. I wanted to share my journey and would appreciate advice, feedback, and guidance to help me to reach my goals. I hope this log will help me to keep accountable.
My story:
I am in my Mid 30's, have a young family and have always tilted heavy on the scales in my adult life. I want to lose weight and keep it off for good this time so I can live a fulfilling life, fit and able to spend quality time with my family and play sports comfortably.
I have suffered from autoimmune issues for the past decade (Ulcerative Colitis [Gone away], Alopecia [in remission] and vitiligo [current and spreading] and was diagnosed with Moderate Sleep apnoea (need to use a CPAP machine as a requirement by my employer) which was the last straw for me to stop being lazy. I was told by my sleep physician weight loss could help me get off it.
I started my diet/lifestyle change mid November where I weighed 135kgs. My most recent weighing was 122.5kgs. My heaviest was around 139kg which was a rebound from doing a Keto diet.
I am focusing on eating a cleaner, balanced diet, maintaining a caloric deficit. I generally eat my first meal around lunchtime, have dinner and sometimes a snack in-between and/or after my two main meals.
I started to take Retatrutide a week after my diet, and feel it has really helped with cravings and weight loss.
My goal is to be 95kg, I haven't been under 100kg since I was 18yrs old.
My stats:
Age: 36
Height: 183cm
Weight: 122.5kg
I've made some decent progress but it's usually around the levels where I get comfortable and start to back in the opposite direction, but not this time. I am committed to making this a permanent change, for me and my importantly my family.
Current physical activity:
Ive started playing football with friends 90min sessions, once and sometimes twice a week. I plan to incorporate gym to help retain muscle. I don't want to be a body builder, I just want to be fit, healthy and strong.
I am open to trying other supplements. I have been listening to some podcasts and various peptides have sparked my curiosity, but I want to do it in a safe and controlled manner.
Here are some current body pictures, I didn't take any at my peak but better late then never.
