Need some motivation/clarification

Yeah guys are totally going to want to post photos of themselves on an anonymous subreddit, lol.

This is the horizon for ALL guys of any age:

More than 100 pounds overweight: 3 years of full adherence
More than 50 pounds overweight: 2 years of full adherence
Skinny fat: 12-18 months of full adherence
Skinny scrawny: 6-12 months of full adherence

That's it. Nothing else.

The key is full adherence. If you cheat or fall off the wagon, add 3 months for every 1 month of fucking around with diet and workout.

It doesn't matter how tall you are, how old you are, how weak you are, or how poor you are. Just take your starting situation and add the number of months or years of perfect adherence to diet and fitness and you'll look fantastic.

You don't need motivation. You need dicipline.

I lost 35 lbs in 6 months.

Tracked calories every day using fitness pal. Strength and muscle gains went up. Cut out dairy and beef. HIIT cardio every day. 175 and shredded now.

You can do it too. Start instead of thinking about it. Take action man. Analysis paralysis.

I heard a line somewhere that has stuck with me for years:

"The moment you started lifting is the moment you became forever small."

It's highly possible, just varies on your initial stats, and how determined you are as an individual.

Change doesn't happen over night, it's a progressive collective, with longterm benefits, as well as short term.

I'm currently done with my first month of cutting, and legit month of working out everyday/eating properly.

This shit isn't easy, nor fun, nor had anyone said it was. You want progress? You gotta strain, you have to put in the effort, you have to want more than the next guy.

Yet, no one really wants to do any of that, it's finding a reason among the bullshit, is what keeps you going.

I workout for me, and to maintain this meat vehicle which carries me through life. Can't experience life if you're health is complete shit, and can't even lift a jug of water without shitting yourself.

And with my philosophy, we've got one life, I'm sure as hell going to push this body to it's physical limits, it's the only one I've got!

Shit I've always wanted washboard abs, yet was too lazy, and undertermined to legit work for it, and gain the knowledge to get there.

Now, it's not even about the abs, but a lifestyle.

Had a shit day? Pick up the weights.

When I don't workout it's like a switch.

I feel like shit, become depressed, apethetic, and unmotivated at how I've let myself go. There's no excuse. And there comes a point where you see the progress you've made, and realize...there is no turning back.
