140 lbs down from 400 lbs: a “formal” comparison

Hey, everyone. I’ve posted here a few times, but I’m back again because I’m feeling good.

473 days. SW: 400 lbs. CW: 260 lbs. 26 years old. 5’11. Male ... Virgo.

Nothing truly groundbreaking to announce with this one other than the fact that I’ve dropped another 10 lbs since my last announcement. I’m feeling pretty good about myself. Feeling strong, like I could take on the whole frickin’ world and come out with a participation trophy at the very least.

I’ll divulge again what it is that I’m doing. With exercise, I’m lifting dumbbells three times a week. Nothing crazy, but I’m consistent. Never underestimate the power of consistency. I’m also walking at least once a day. Casual stuff, but also very consistent stuff.

Now here’s what I’ll say about diet. I follow a guy on YouTube named Greg Doucette pseudo-religiously, and I even suggest him to people ad nauseam. It’s not because I’m trying to be annoying (though I suppose you could try to debate otherwise; maybe you’ll make a strong point for it) - I just genuinely believe the guy has some pretty valuable information. I follow his whole approach on eating low calorie dense meals that are also high in volume. It’s a concept Greg specializes in: essentially combining ingredients that are, inherently on their own, low calorie to create meals that are satiating and, well, not small. Check him out. Most of his stuff is high protein and isn’t afraid of carbs. It’s mostly the fat intake that it tries to limit, but that’s part of the dietary philosophy’s magic I suppose you could say.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m not done. I am, however, extremely proud of my progress, and excited for what the future holds.
