Happy New Year!

So today is the first day of the @transformrva 90 day challenge and told myself that regardless of what happens, win or lose, I’m using this competition as an opportunity to do something that I would never have done before while also keeping me motivated.

Not going to lie, I’m still very much a rookie with this sort of thing and I try to remind myself that I’m competing against hundreds of other guys who also want to try and improve themselves. The other day for my in body scan, I met another competitor who actually participated last year and told me that he’s doing this stuff so he can be around longer for his daughter.

That actually hit close to home for me since my family has never been what is perceived as very health conscious (think heavy smokers and drinkers with very greasy diets) and I knew that I was at risk of health issues from growing up around them. In fact, part of the reason why I started this page is to help prove to my family, especially my little brother, that a healthier lifestyle is not as hard or as intimidating as social media often makes it out to be.

But at the same time, I also need to practice what I preach so I’m also using this page as accountability for myself as well. After looking at my submission photos, I realized just how far I came already in a year and honestly started to get excited to see what I might achieve in another year’s time!

Lastly, I wish all participants in the challenge the best of luck and that they find plenty of enjoyment in this journey.

First update! Today I hit upper body but unfortunately didn't feel that energized since I had to fast all morning for my in body scan as part of the competition. Luckily I was able to keep my normal weight and reps but now need to seriously consider doing a de-load week to help prevent plateauing.

Unfortunately, today's in-body said I put on a whole 1% of body fat (guess holiday calories count too). Though I've started getting more serious about tracking what I eat and know that I'll be able to fix the numbers in due time.

Decided my goal throughout for the first 90 days of 2025 is to focus more on nutrients so I can help reduce overall fat levels while also not neglecting my own health since 2024 was mostly just "protein protein protein" and ngl I felt rough at times because of it. Another area of focus is that I want to build my core up more as well since I still have some extra padding around the belly and figured that I should try and use that fat reserve as fuel for muscle growth.

Even though I realized I had a bit of a set back due to the holidays, I'm not mad about it because it's life and sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses. On a final note, I'm still excited for the start of the new year and really hope this all will give me more motivation!

Hi, I’m Jeff! I made this account to help keep track of my fitness progress as well as log any updates I have in regards to it.

I’ve been working out for about a year now and I went from almost 28% bf down to 15% since my last in body scan.

Right now, I’m preparing for the annual @transformrva competition as well as #gymshark66 so hopefully you’ll be seeing a lot more from me as things get started on Jan 1st.

I also created this account to help keep my friends committed to their own fitness goals and to hopefully even inspire others to pursue a better lifestyle, even in the age of convenience.

Ok so I think that pretty much sums it all for now but hopefully you’ll learn more about me in the future! :)
