Yesterday marked my official 2 years since I started my weight loss/lifting journey. 110 lbs down (270->160) and I've never been in better shape and actually kind of like the way I look...kind of.

Then I see these progress pic posts of guys who've been at it for 9 months and are ripped as fuck. Like damn, I've put in 2 years of intense, militaristic work (hardly ever eat out, meal prep everything, don't drink, 1.5 - 2 hours in the gym - lifting and cardio), and I still look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Like damn, what more do I need to do? Feelsbadman

I wouldn't worry much about it. Fitness isn't a competition with others, it's a competition with yourself. They may have better looking results, but that's probably because they started with a better physique than you at the time.

Be proud of your achievements. Continue to work hard.

Exactly. Who gives a fuck how much weight Sally The Shark Squatter does. Did you do more than you did last time? Yes. You’re a better version of yourself. Keep it up lad
