I've probably lost about 10 lbs since I've been overseas - most of it the hard way, but I always lose weight over here. Gonna be hard to keep it off when I get home, but I'm gonna try...

I figure weight gain/loss is down to three basic factors; quality, quantity and frequency. What you eat, how much and how often.
In mid-June of 2024, I clocked in at 253 pounds (within a pound or two of lifetime max weight), and it kind of pissed me off. Without changing anything in my physical routine (essentially non-existent due to injury recovery), only adjusting my intake per the above factors, I had shed over 50 pounds by July of 2025. I've been at or below 200 since, with a low of 190.4 pounds. Since recovering from a lower back injury (the crux of the weight gain), my hope is to capitalize on the results of diet adjustment by beginning to pick up my chosen physical activities again in the near future.
It occurred to me that the weight I gained was worse than the story told by the scale. Not only had I gained fat by inactivity and not adjusting my diet, but I also lost a fair amount of muscle mass, which was also replace by fat.
I’ve been looking to go that route. Cheaper than Insure or any of the other premade protein drinks.
Whatever you buy you want whey isolate not concentrate. Concentrate is more likely to make you feel like crap

It's easy to make. I also bought their shaker bottle. I put in the powder and water, mix it up, put in a few ice cubes and put it in the fridge for a bit so it's properly cold. Enjoy!
Protein shakes with water is criminal

It's really more of a milk texture, instead of a shake. Plus it's fast. How do you do it?
I use milk. Now that's a milk texture!
Now I do it with chocolate milk. Not sure I like that quite as much but it is what I have now
Calories in vs calories out. You did the "GET THOSE CALORIES THE FUCK OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" diet. It works but isn't much fun.
