here is my little story since i last left :

i was going to the gym quite frequently, about 4-5 times a week. I was getting stronger , but still quite a heavy fellow. Why ? Well my diet was never on proper tracks.. But i stuck with it because i figured going to the gym was better than not. Anywho, eventually i decided to lose some weight. Started taking the EC stack and going hard with the cardio , until one day i went overboard on the stair master, and i ended up going into the hall outside the gym to puke my brains out. Now, i dont know why but this took a huge toll on my mental state, i would try to return to the gym and continue but i couldnt. Any sort of cardio or heavy lifting would give me nausea or bad headaches.

i didnt go for a LONG time. Life got in my way, i got lazy, and i couldnt muster going only to leave 5 mins later when i felt sick. So i didnt care, i didnt go anymore, i ate whatever, got really fucking lazy. I gained ALL and MORE of the weight that i had lost. I was down to 250 from 300, and fast forward my year or more of absence, i was weighing in at 325.

I couldnt look myself in the mirror, feeling like a slob and making the people around me that i love feel lazy like me. Why ? Because i didnt wanna go out, i didnt wanna exercise, i didnt wanna do anything and thus they would stay in with me and do nothing as well.

I enrolled at club16 after my projectile accident (i was at GoodLife then) and figured paying 15$ a month compared to 65$ wasnt so bad if i missed some time. So the months went by and i didnt go back.

Until recently, I heard GoodLife had lowered the prices. So i figured a change of scenery might help , i mean it cant get any worse right ?

And this is where everything turned a bit for the better. I started a meal plan (a bit expensive but it beat buying junk food EVERYDAY monday to friday while at work) i started back at the gym, and got a personal trainer. I know most of you guys will say i dont need the trainer, but it's good to have someone at the moment to push me a bit and make me sweat in a different way, nohomo, other than just lifting weights. a lot of big muscle compound movements while keeping my heart rate up.

Im now at 295 so ive lost about 30lbs, and its only going to get better from here. I also had a lot of health issues and i think it had to do with the amount of CRAP i ate, like mcdonalds/wendys/subway pretty much every day on rotation. And now that im eating real food with the meal plan, i dont feel sick in the mornings anymore and im drinking lots and lots of water. Anyways, thanks for reading if you made it this far... just wanted to share my absence and hope to be back in here with you guys more often

We all gonna make it brahs
Keep it up man, don't fall into the trap of thinking infinite cardio = infinite weight loss. Keep the diet in check, and stay consistent with the exercise. Results will come quicker than you expect.

Just make sure to focus on weights more than cardio. Compound weights are good, making sure you're sweating hard. Finish off with 15-20 mins of cardio and the fat will melt off.
