Album of before/afters and a few various pics https://imgur.com/a/qXq1B

So ive been working out for a few years now, on and off with the various levels of dedication.

My weight has always been an issue and something ive been incredibly self conscious about. Ever since I was a teenager ive been a seesaw on the scales but never really been able to move it.. fast forward to last year, i lost my motorvation completely and did what i always do when im depressed, binge ate.

I soon got to my biggest i had ever been at roughly 140kg.. although I felt i held it quite well, my body certainly disagreed with me.

My family has a history of high blood pressure and I soon found out I was a chip off the old block with constant headaches, head spins and always being short of breath.. turns out i was 190/100.. I decided enough was enough.

I'd love to say I did something super special or out of the ordinary, but all it came down was sticking to and maintaining a high protein low carb diet with alot of salad/roast vegies and training as much as possible.

6 days split quads/arms/shoulders/deadlifts/back/chest I would always do 40mins of cardio ED before work, mainly for the benefits of waking me up as I start at 3am.

But yeah, still a work in progress! But I'm finally feeling better about myself to the point I thought I'd share my current results.

Cheers bud. Still a constant slog (doing cardio as we speak) but it was worth the battle!
