Body recomp is crazy, you can stay in same weight but waist/arms/legs/face are slimming down. People need to measure your body to motivate yourself and not rely on the weight scale.

In a nutshell…
Phase 1: nothing shows, but it’s working
Phase 2: nothing shows, but it’s working
Phase 3: nothing shows, but its working
Phase 4: something finally shows, but you have to keep working

0:16 i did not know bro was built like tht

It’s called stay consistent. Wake up do the work and shut up

This was good for me. Been very serious about losing fat and gaining muscle. Tracking all my food and hitting the gym 5 days a week. Scale has hardly moved in 2 months, but my Hume Pod shows fat loss and muscle gain.
Just tough being patient waiting for the numbers on the scale to start moving downward.

New years i was almost 250. Been steady and consistent walking and weight lifting cutting out ice cream and crap. Today I'm at 206. My goal has always been 200. I'll reassess if i hit it.  The first 2 months i didn't pay attention to my body or my weight, just the work.

I started working out at age 47 in October, 2021. I went from 230 to 158, back to 188. I still have not seen a 6-pack. It's 2026 and I'm 52 years old. I'm not giving up...but I'm being realistic.

Been doing waist measurements. So far over past several weeks was 37” and checked today and am at 34 1/2” so that was encouraging. Staying patient!

I think this channel is not monetized bcz there is no ads show in video

I think this is why personalized fitness makes more sense. One workout or diet doesn’t suit everyone—recovery, metabolism, and progress can look completely different from person to person.

It's funny cause in every weight loss video you mention some of the things that make people quit and they're often what's made me continue. I've lost 50 pounds in the last 6 months and put on noticeable muscle, likely only cause I started at pretty high level obesity. Calorie counting has become like a hobby, I fuckin love it and I don't know why. Weighing food and getting exact numbers and trying to fit things I enjoy into a very restricted calorie intake is legitimately my favorite thing to do now. I've maintained, for the most part, a 12 to 15 hundred calorie a day diet 6 days a week for half a year and am enjoying it with just one 22 to 24 hundred calorie measured cheat day each week, normal days are below my estimated BMR much less my maintenance. I scaled up my workout regiment fast too from nothing, just dieting, for the first two weeks to 3x a week with a 1 mile walk each off day the first month, tried a 6 day PPL twice a week setup but that was a bit much to now a 5 day PPL upper lower split with a 2 mile walk Monday through Friday and a 7 to 10 mile walk Saturday and sometimes a hike on Sunday but usually that's just a rest day. Scale progress is relatively steady, some weeks are worse than others for water retention, and I'm not a machine I have had my "oops 3500 calories" days here and there, and I skip workouts now and then, or go way lighter than I should, but the mindset that a stumbles not game over, something isn't nothing and that hungers just a feeling have helped.

I have never known my body fat. I have always been skinny buff with visible abs. I 19 and trying to gain muscle💪!

This is so true.
My face looks too lean, but I still have a belly.

Understanding the difference between clearing internal visceral fat vs. subcutaneous fat changes everything. Most people quit right around week 3 when the scale stalls, completely unaware that their body is burning deep organ fat first. Fantastic breakdown!

The way you describe upper body and belly fat as a checking/savings account is so on point. So is the shaking the bottle for effort. :goodvibes:

Starting my journey now

Is it crazy that I’ve been in months too for six months until I watched this video

I have to say that this is the most helpful honest video about weight loss. I love the analogies like the ketchup bottle, the savings account/checking account and the others I can’t remember right now. I been on a calorie deficit for going on 2 months now and while the scale hasn’t moved much my clothes that used to be tight at a lot looser. I will have to try the measuring the stomach recommendation. Fun video.

Spring of 2025 I was 290 pounds and as of today I am 185 pounds and I still have stubborn lower back flab that just will not go away. I’ve gone from wearing two XL shirts and 42 waist size pants to medium size shirts and a 32 inch waist, but still have stubborn back flab. My body recon is completely noticeable and people mention the changes to me every day so it has worked, but just can’t reach perfection.
