I’ve lost 50 pounds and I just wanna tell someone, anyone, that I’m really stoked about that. Any tips?

I could blame social distancing but I didn’t really have friends before. Lmao.

But

M 27 5 foot 11

December 2019 I was one bad weekend from 255 pounds. Since then I lost at least 50 pounds through better eating habits. Upped ny water intake to what if should be. Cut down on soda.

I was also getting most if not all my exercise from work. I’d walk to and from work, 5 miles total, and at work I’d walk another 5. Started biking to work when the weather got nicer.

I’ve hit a wall at 205 but I honestly think that’s me gaining muscle. I started doing body weight squats and lunges last month.

I slowly added weight [ I was scared of injury from fatigue or bad form] and I’m ready to do deadlift squats with low weight. I feel my legs getting stronger though, even though it’s little weight.

I love to play basketball and I’ve been going early in the morning to shoot around by myself. 3 months ago I was 205 but i had no explosive step, no hops, no stamina. I’m the same weight and today I feel WAY better. I’m super stoked man.

This sub helped me too man. I lurked and ALL of your stories inspired me. I didn’t go into detail of what I did, diet exercise, but ask me whatever.

Also any tips to work out my core and arms? I have two 25 pound dumb bells and a bar with 100 pounds. My legs are coming in but I took a conscious effort to go slow/slower to avoid any injury. I barely feel any strain in my legs but I feel gains. Literally every other day I feel stronger. I CANT stop now man. I feel good :)
