I spent 7 months losing 24kgs, about 50lbs or so. I felt good, was more confident, clothes fit better, I looked fitter and healthier… mission accomplished.

One evening I was going out for my daily walk which I have done 99% of the time this year, I had a fitted/slim t-shirt on and it looked good, I felt good.

I walked into my kitchen just about to leave and my housemate turned and said “you skinny fuck”, this wasnt in a insulting way or to hurt me… but I was furious on the inside. I just shook it off and said “it’s just the t-shirt”

Now let’s me clear, I’m not skin and bones, I’m 6'4 (195cm) and was about 90kg (200lbs).

If you had of asked me 6 months ago what I wanted, it was to be skinner, lighter, weight less… whatever way you want to put it… but I hated it… why you ask?

I want to look strong, lean, muscular… “skinny” is not the goal anymore.

So here we go, slight increase in calories and using them to lift heavier weights.

One week in a the majority of my lifts have gone up, I feel better (more calories, obviously help).

A month ago I was aiming to be under 90kgs, the scales has slightly increased, but that’s the point.

Let’s see what the end of the year brings with consistency.
