So, some of my coworkers want to lose some weight. I told them to make a pact to eat healthier together and I would join in to support them
One of them says that they should all try to be more like Szu.
I said, "Me too, I want to be more like Szu."
This thread has been a great source of motivation and information for me on my journey the last year. I am not sure why it took so long for me to post but am glad I did.
Seeing others on the same journey, whether the beginning middle or ... err, well, there is no end. but it is damn amazing and I am proud to be part of this community.
I don't necessarily feel comfortable giving advice to others yet I will try to be supportive as best I can. Positivity is always the way to go.

Wow. Amazing work, Ninja
Congrats man. I hit the "lowest weight of my adult life" period a couple of months back and it felt so damn weird to enter that uncharted territory where each new day was probably going to be an all-time lowest adult weight and I had no idea what I'd look like each morning. Don't be afraid to enjoy your wedding festivities!

I'm drinking a glass of jamo right now. Not a shot. A glass. Buying and selling houses SUCKS
Oh don't worry. Bulk incoming as soon as wedding is over. Honeymoon is all inclusive in Jamaica. Good times ahead.
Beautiful stuff dude. Also, I weigh more than you now!
Thank you sir! Soon the right picture will be a before picture.
Grats man. Looking at that pic I'm kind of amused by how similar we are (minus your years of weight lifting results...); similar heights, similar chests, similar body hair... I just wish my beard game were as strong as yours; tried growing one a few months ago and it came out poorly.
mine looked terrible the first couple months and then I grew into it. Some guys need a little longer.

I discovered my new go to meal tonight. Sushi burrito. Holy shit that thing was amazing.

Recently wore my old suit that i used for interviews and fancy occasions for the first time since I started my whole weightlifting journey. It definitely doesn't fit as well as it used to. Its a bit more tight at the shoulders and the pants are much looser due to my new physique. I'll have to get it tailored to fit my new body, but its a good problem to have. Except having to do that for all my pants since I'm no longer a size 38 (more like a 34 now) ugh its gonna suck having to buy all new dress clothes.

I can't even speak in complete sentences after a stronglifts session these days. Cardio? Nah, bruh. (<- a complete sentence I'm proud of right now)

Ugh, yeah that's not fun. I'm pretty sure that if you keep drinking it'll get better.
Yassssss! I'm familiar with the nightmarish school events. The screams, the chaos... I hope you make it out alive.

Yeah at some point I am going to have to buy a whole new wardrobe, but I feel like I still
have maybe an inch to lose off my waist, so its hard to know when to start buying new stuff, without having the same problem a month later.

Am back in the UK after a great trip...
...10lbs heavier, and with roughly 2.5% more body fat.
THANKS OBAMA.

Don't worry, Lord Trump will make you the fittest most desirable person to ever live besides himself. Believe him.
Yep. I waited 16 years for this girl and never settled, got beyond anything i could have expected. Fitgaf had a huge part in all of it, getting me in shape and so motivational to keep pushing on.
Congrats man, wish you all the best. When you tying the knot?

Don't sell yourself short Psycho, you just need to visualize it and you can make it happen. Maybe this will help?

Unf, so sexy.
I'm in the same boat. You could set a target physique. I plan to weigh between 160 and 170 for life, once I actually cross the 170 threshold, and hopefully that will minimize the need to do all new wardrobes.
For years I've been adding and losing 20-25 pounds and it's just too much.

I just bought a whole new wardrobe mid way through my cutting phase. It'll hang a little when fully cut, and maybe be a bit tight fully bulked, but I think I'll be OK.

How'd you like NYC in the end?

Was good. If I'm honest I don't think it was somewhere I'd put on my regular visit list (Szu aside of course), but I'm glad I've been there now.
Loads of great food and drink if nothing else.

This made me laugh out loud, and made my super shitty day better right before bed.

It's unlike anywhere else I've ever been but I definitely respect that. Which was your favorite restaurant?

Jean Georges for "holy shit, can food taste like this" / "No, please don't take my card, I think you'll give my bank manager a heart attack".
Churrascaria Plataforma for "keep that awesome meat coming... just slice it directly into my mouth".
(I'd definitely recommend that last one for the bros who are bulking)

Bruce, when I finally get back into the city, we should do plataforma!

Haha bro absolutely.
I have a hard time going too crazy at churrascaria because so much protein doesn't sit well in the stomach. We went to Fogo De Chao for my girlfriend's sister's birthday (and before that, for our half anniversary last year) and it's so hard to say no to the meat even when you wanna lay down and cry. More than once I'd have my "Yes I want more/No more" card flipped to No but the person next to me had theirs flipped to Yes so I'd get offered meat anyway and of course I'd take it. Everything is so fucking good!
Man, with the amount of meat that's going to be inside you guys, one of us is going home with a broken back.
