I will just share my journey over the last 3.5 years of going back to the gym.

- Started at 160lbs (5'11 and Chinese)
- I was lean,skinny, whatever you want to call it but I had a bit of a belly despite that
- My eating was shit, eat when I want often even before I slept, fast foods, fattiest meats, no veggies
- First 2 years at the gym I was going consistently at about 3-4 times a week, lifting heavy but wasn't taking it too too seriously. More just going through the motion but I still went and I still worked when I was there, none of this on my phone the whole time BS but I knew mentally I wasn't trying hard enough
- Eating was still the same, still ate like shit and didn't eat anymore either
- Would have a protein shake afterworkout
- 2 years later I'm 170lbs, belly didn't get any bigger it was all muscle and noticeably so
- Going into year 3 (2017) i wanted to take it up a notch and really start taking it more seriously
- Aside from working out harder the one main change I did was drink 1 protein shake every morning. I don't typically eat breakfast until 3 hours after I wake up so the shake first thing seemed like a logical thing to do. That plus me working out harder I went from 170lbs > 180lbs within 1.5months and have maintained that weight for a year now and it was all muscle gain not fat as well

I don't even know if any of this helps but it's the story for me the past 3.5 years. I'm actually 186lbs now, i somehow gained 6lbs this year after maintaining 180lbs for a solid 12months
