January 2024- I was 230 pounds and roughly 40% body fat. I was halfway through my junior year. This hit me hard. Why? Because at the beginning of my junior year I was 185 pounds. 185lbs had been my lowest weight since 6th grade. When I reached that weight I was so happy because I had always struggled with being overweight, ever since elementary school. That joy didn’t last long. What led me back into gaining weight rapidly was overeating everyday and snacking every opportunity I got with a lack of any exercise. I didn’t care what went into my body or how unhealthy it was. I lived by the “I’d rather be fat and happy than starving and sad” moto. But I can’t remember ever being happy with being fat, it’s just what’d I’d tell myself to cope and feel better. I’d do the classic fat person diet. I wouldn’t eat breakfast or lunch because I’m “on a diet”, then of course dinner would come around and I’d crash and eat whatever I wanted. I didn’t track a single macro. I had new stretch marks appearing every place imaginable. I hated myself and how I looked. I steadily stayed in the 225-240lb range up until late 2025.

May 2026- I’m currently 176 pounds and around 18% body fat. Starting In October 2025 I really decided to dial in with my calorie intake, macro tracking, and exercise. I saw older guys around me struggling with their bodies and weight and I didn’t want that to be me. I’m still young and still have time to take control of my body. I started to track everything that I ate, even on cheat days. I track calories in vs calories out for the day and make sure that I’m losing weight at a healthy rate. This was my first time I’ve ever locked into a calorie deficit successfully without giving up two weeks in. Today I’m happy with how I look, even if I’m not at my goal yet. I’ve also learned so much about foods and macros. Now that I’m closing up on my first goal, I’ll have to set a new one. That’s crazy for me to say. I never thought I’d be setting a new goal because I’m reaching my current one. What feels impossible one day is suddenly a reality for me, it just took some time.

I will post here and share my progress as I begin my new goal.

Little bit of a dump for my first post.

1. I love chicken and macro tracking if you couldn’t tell.
2. Drizzilicious has been my go to snack lately.
3. Overnight oats is my everyday breakfast. Perfect and easy first meal of the day.
4. YouTube + Walking pad = easy cardio
5. Saber loved going for a walk during the sunset.

Side note- get your steps in, count your calories, and you’ll see change guaranteed. Trust the process. by @alechalleyfit
