Hey friends. As most of us here, weightloss has been a struggle all our lives. I started when I was 16, but I got more serious about it in my mid-twenties. I'd hit the gym atleast 3 times a week. Mostly squats/bench/deadlifts. Tons of YouTube videos and articles. After about 3 years of that, I stopped. Didn't care for it anymore. I just didn't want my hobby to be lifting weights and putting them down. I rather find a hobby that I can get skilled at, and the by-product be fat-loss and muscle gain. I loved playing sports. Tried flag football, but the games were at 11pm sometimes. I found that in jiu-jitsu. It's been 5 years and I've taken many breaks (injuries) but I've always made my way back to the mats because I craved it. It was never for the sole purpose of weight-loss, but I knew that if I wanted to be more successful at jiu-jitsu, I'd have to change my relationship with food. The by-product of wanting to be good at something was the weightloss. Anybody else go through this? For those who were successful at the gym, did you end up craving it, or kept going because you saw the results? Did you miss it when you couldn't go?
