Thread 76774158

ITT /progress/ report and /flex/. Tell us how much your lifestyle has improved and how far you've come. Show off and inspire others anon.

I'll start us off: every day in October I've woken up at 4am, and I've lost 15 lbs this month (and 40+ since I started). I've also been sober for the whole month after drinking a bottle of vodka every day for 3 years (and a ton of alcohol before that as well). My diabetes is gone and all my micronutrient levels are in standard ranges. The hope is real.

I can finally see my penis again when I look down

>>76774158 (OP)
I got a gym membership again starting to see gains again put 30-40 lbs on almost every lift I do besides lat raise.
That's about it. 'bout to quit nicotine and alcohol until spring at least.

In a few more years, if everything goes to plan, I can die an honourable and aesthetic death like Mishima wrote about

penis lengthening is working

Took a good look at some pictures from before and realised I've made zero gains since last cut / bulk cycle. I've been going to the gym for past 4 years and my physique is at most slightly above average. I always thought I never really cared about aesthetics, but todayI felt like shit and utterly dismoraled seeing people achieving so much more within much shorter timeframe than me. I was essentially spinning wheels this whole time. I guess I'l just try harder, no biggie bros.

NEET, 320lbs college dropout, living with my dad, never had a job, probably depressed
>35yrs old
210lbs, $142k/yr (plus $22k in VA disability) with a remote job, BS/MBA, married with 2 kids, just got into Georgetown Law School, which my employer is paying for (part-time so I can keep working). Pic rel is from our trip to Europe. 7 years ago I couldn't afford to go to the dentist.

I don't want to see anyone saying it's over unless they're 70+

>>76775787
I'm beyond happy for you. I hope that you're happy and you feel accomplished with the massive change in improvement that you've made in your life.

>>76775795
Thank you. I'm much happier than I was in the left pic.

>>76775799
God bless you, man. God bless. Truly an inspiration.

>started lifting and cardio again in 2025 after a long period of neither, also improved diet
>finally can get my penis hard enough for sex after no cap 10 years, and fucked at Asian massage parlor a few times, could tell they genuinely enjoyed it
>even better results with generic cialis
>get mires from qts at the gym on a very regular basis
>get lots of great attention from women whenever I go out at night
>inevitably screw it up somehow, but getting better
>still, my current confidence with women is thru the roof now compared to any other point in my life, I have no issue "cold approaching" / chatting up 10s
>just need to fix my financial situation and move out of my mom's house
>still at least 15 pounds away from my leanness goal
>there is very little doubt in my mind I will get there, and can't wait to see how women act around me then
>but w/o going into too much detail, I do doubt my ability to fix my financial situation, but there is hope

Went from literally 65kg twink to 80kg ripped in 2 years after my wife left me and took the kids. I am 28 now and it feels as if my life is just beginning.
Career is on a nice trajectory, but I’m still struggling with my faith.
Apart from that, everything is fine.

Forgot its /flex/, sorry for downing it up

just realised i've been grinding at overemployment for 2 years now. making 130k / yr after tax in a country with LCOL. Managed to rack up 300k usd. turning 25 soon and seeing my peers succumb to weed, wage-slaving paycheck to paycheck because they can't budget. my biggest problem i have no idea where to put the money. i got half a BTC as a hedge, but I'm not willing to go all-in. Passive investing into ETFs sounds cool, but my country is a little risky.


>>76775787
mirin hard anon, how are you finding travel with kids?

>>76775787
No way in hell those are the same person. How could the forearm hair be so different? Unless you took some insane hormones or something

Went from 95kg to 80 in 6 months. Feel pretty awesome. Almost no strength loss except some OHP but still can almost press my BW. I'm getting tons of mires because of my ass now that my waist is so thin. FUCK I LOVE LIFE AND LIFTING

>>76775836
>mirin hard anon, how are you finding travel with kids?
That trip was enjoyable since we only had our 2yr old at the time (my wife was pregnant with your 2nd) and my niece came with to watch our daughter so we could get dinner by ourselves occasionally. There's no way I'm doing another overseas trip until our youngest is 4+

>>76775939
>How could the forearm hair be so different?
The amount of forearm hair? There's 9yrs between those two pics. I aged and grew more body hair

>>76774158 (OP)
Ohp bottom sets are up another 20lbs, getting more vascular idk if this is even good for anything, arms are 5lbs stronger each, working on rear delts and traps and seeing gains finally as usually id only work lower back and lats on pull/dls.

>>76774158 (OP)
is that MOOT?

Had no idea I made any gains because it’s so incremental. Saw some buddies from over 4 years ago and they couldn’t stop talking about how big I’ve gotten. I gained about 60 pounds since 2021 but since it happens so slowly it feels like nothing changed.

Added LISS daily cardio into my routine. 45 min walking max incline every day. After a week went to this girls house and my cock was longer and stronger than it's been in years. I actually burst a capillary in there out of nowhere. It hurt. But then my cock got hard again and I fucked her more. It was unreal seeing my ding dong bigger and longer than before, I hardly recognized it.
Never not doing daily cardio ever again. LEANpill LISSmaxing is now law.

>working out since august 7th
>lost several pounds of fat and seemigly regained as muscle
>bicep, chest, shoulder definition is forming vs initial photos
>didnt understand triceps import until october so they are lagging, but training hard
>core workouts getting harder core
i dont want to post yet because i really have nothing to show for it, but i can feel and see muscle. focused on 100 g protein daily, not missing a day.
backslid into ciggies after attending a party and getting awful sleep. regardless my lifts are getitng heavier and i can dumbell press 40lbs now. learning every day

I'm literally the biggest loser on this entire board. I'm 34 years old and have nothing. Absolutely nothing. Whatsoever. In my life. If I described my life, people wouldn't even believe it, they wouldn't believe someone could be as pathetic as I am. I get enraged seeing how happy and successful everyone else in society is, even the most basic of normalcy makes me so angry despite me being the sole reason why I am like this. All I think about every second of every day is how desperately I want to kms and how much of a worthless, pathetic, humiliating piece of dog shit I am. It's really difficult to do anything to improve yourself from ground zero when words cannot even describe how much you despise yourself and want yourself to be dead.

>>76777498
... what's stopping you from doing anything about it? Do you occupy yourself with some hobby or something (like video games or porn), and you would just rather do that instead of the things that would better your life (like going to the gym, getting a skill/job, making friends, etc.)? I'm not telling you what to do or trying to pass judgement, I'm just genuinely asking because I want to know the answer.

>$142k/yr (plus $22k in VA disability) with a remote job
how did you do this?
HOW

>>76775836
Risky as in they will seize assets in a crisis or just a poor investment?

Open an account in a foreign country and buy from there. It will complicate your tax process but it's an alternative.

>>76777442
sorry friend but no way that is zuckerborg he's too handsome to be him plus zuckerborg don't wear glasses and his face isn't that clean

Hell I even did a reverse image search to check and on some websites it's moot!

>>76774158 (OP)
31 years old and fixed two of my red flags for women (being fat and unemployed), with a bit of luck I can fix all the others by the time I'm 41! (being short, living with my mom, having zero close friends, not having a car, having no hobbies)

>>76778137
>having no hobbies
I will literally never understand this one. How do people live with no hobbies? Are you just occupied your every waking moment so have no time for hobbies? Or do you literally just sit there and stare at the wall for your free time?

>>76774158 (OP)
every day I wake up at 3:45
that's a 15 minute edge I have over you

Been lifting for almost 7 months. Really locked in since late August and progress has been nice. I spend some time in the evenings looking at myself in the mirror in nice lighting and enjoying the fact that I look less and less skinnyfat and weak.

Still small though. When bantering around with my friend, he joked that his money spent on cigs is better than my money spent on gym memberships, cuz at least his smoking habits are visible to the world, while my gym results are not yet.

>>76778063
No its Zuckerberg it's literally in the file name

>>76778285
dude just cause it says zuckerberg it doesn't mean it is.not only that but I can name a picture of lady gaga to justin bieber are you gonna say that the person in said picture is justin bieber and not lady gaga despite it showing that it is?

Do a reverse image search and you'll see that NO search engine says it's zuckerberg.

The only search engine that relates it to zuckerberg is google but even then it says it's christopher pool A.K.A moot here's a pic

and no that's not Russian it's Bulgarian

Кpиcтoфъp Пyл=Christopher Poole.

>>76778185
I just entertain myself with whatever I can find without reaching any depth in any topic in particular, I suppose you could call me a consoomer. Fun fact: I NEETed from ages 22 to 29 and can't remember a single second of that period.

Used to be quite fit, had close to 25 ffmi at like 198lbs at 5ft 9in a decade ago with decent lifts (squat 315x4, OHP 185x1, DL 425x4, bench I don't even remember but it wasn't anything great). Work a wife and a kid later balloon up to 285lbs and hadn't lifted or exercises in years.

Been getting back on track doing lifting and cardio min 5x per week for the past 3 weeks so far. Down 14lbs (while also loading creatine so probably closer to 16 to 18lbs).

Tracking macros and micronutrients eating so much healthier (lean ground beef, salmon, sweet potato, avocado etc, not even craving junk food or takeout much at all anymore).

Strength starting to slowly come back. Back. Did 170x17 on squats (was only aiming for 8). Got ohp for 125x8, DL still light (230x5) but not rushing on that. Bench is incline and did 160x8.

Staying disciplined and working out before work or during my lunch break when I can. Doing LISS cardio after to burn some more fat.

According to the scale fat is down .8% and muscle is up .7% so I'm hitting a good recomp state which is what I'm aiming for.

Actually getting good sleep.

Maybe not impressive progress but it's the right direction and I'm very happy doing it.

idk man do you really think the photographer would name the file Zuckerberg if it weren't him? I personally trust the person who took the photo more than a google search but I really appreciate your cooperation in finding this out

Good luck at GULC. Hope you become a Hoya Loya ya fagggg

Thanks for reminding me to get the Dexter drip when I get fit.

Achieved 8 months of sobriety after 8 and a half years of struggling with chronic alcoholism. Longest stretch of sobriety since I was like 13. Quit smoking cigarettes for the same amount of time as well. Feels like I can finally enjoy small pleasures again. If anyone out there is currently struggling with an addiction just know that it does get better. It takes the brain awhile to heal.

>>76782909
Congratulations. You should celebrate with a drink.

>>76783194
Not today, Satan.

>>76778562
I mean, unless you were just barely conscious and sedated on drugs, whatever you were consooming was your hobby, whether it me TV shows or vidya or whatever. Do you think professional Tetris players remember even 10% of their life? Yet you can still call what they do a hobby.

I would literally not take showers or brush my teeth for a month or two at a time. My parents looked at me like I was scum and constantly shit-talked and nagged me (even though I'm doing my PhD at Harvard).
Now, I shower and brush every day, and am working out consistently and losing weight, and my parents are acting like Jesus has returned and they're so encouraging and proud again.

I was a neet for various years but got back into the work force, lived abroad and now have a steady job, boss is giving me a decent bonus each month but I really wish I just got a raise instead.

Fasted my balls off to POW mode. (sub150lb) Then did some bulk and cut cycles. Most noticeable improvements were endurance, discipline, relationships, and self esteem. I have experimented with high fat and very low fat diets and found LF is superior for body composition and performance. HF I had less acne and hunger but less gym motivation and heavily reliant on electrolytes

>>76785362
Thanks. My journey roadmap looks just like what you went through. Though I'm hoping to make it happen in 9-ish months (cuz I'm a lunatic). Your loss of love handles is reassuring. But I have the huge manboobs (which you seemingly don't), and I'm hoping those go away too.

The moment I posted about my alcoholism on here, I got served an ad for recovering alcoholics on Twitter, the first such ad I've seen in my life. What the fuck are you doing g00km00t??

Started exercising for the first time in over a decade earlier this year. For years I was too scared to do so due to health issues but after conversations with doctors, nurses and others with the same conditions I took the plunge. So glad I did. I was overweight, almost approaching obesity. Lost a lot of fat and gained some muscle. What impressed myself more than that though is how much I enjoyed it. I exercised as a teen and hated it but I realise now that I just don't enjoy doing cardio (gym wouldn't let me do weights until I was 17 back then). Lifting is really fun. I enjoy doing it, I enjoy succeeding at my goals and somehow I'm even enjoying when I'm failing my goals because I'm learning my limits and how to adapt. My health, both physical and mental, has done a complete 180 in just 6 months. I'm still overweight but I am happier, fitter and am no longer getting sleep apnea.
The only negative is that I started a new job recently that is quite physical so I'm usually too tired to work out as often as I like. I'm still on a calorie defecit so my weight is still going the right way but it's not as quick or as enjoyable as it was when I was a gym-neet. I'm hoping this will change soon as my quick progress has inspired some friends and family to also take an interest in changing for the better and have suggested we work out together sometime
