If you go back far enough, I've actually lost more than 170 lb, because at one point, I was 392 pounds. It's hard even for me to believe it now. And it's embarrassing. But it's true. That was back in early 2019 or so. I'm lucky I didn't die of a heart attack.

But this post is about the current cutting diet, which ended Saturday.

On day one, which was March 6, 2024, I was 260.4 pounds.

Here's a before picture of me squatting in the first week or two of the diet.



I started at 2500 kcal and 30 minutes of cardio daily. By the end of the 108 days, I was at 1600 kcal and 120 minutes of cardio daily. I was 215 on the last day of the diet, which was June 22, 2024.

Here's an after picture of me squatting the next day.



The plan is to maintain 220-225 for the foreseeable future, and make one final cut to 190-200 before maintaining permanently.

And as a parting gift, here's a picture of me 4-5 years ago. Not sure how much I weighed, but it was a lot.



Anyway, once I've recovered from this diet and I'm ready to start the next one, I'll be posting the last leg of the process here for the Misc to see.

Once you make it to 190, the next phase is to add minoxidil, then start pulling sloots.
