I had hit 236 lbs, which was still down from my highest weight but I had put in 40 of those lbs back over a period of about 6 years - as much I’d like to have blamed the pandemic, it was more the switch to a new job that had seriously stressed me out, and then my resulting laziness to do anything except come home and veg.Since that time, I’ve dropped down to 168 lbs. currently which is my maintenance weight. I’ve been holding that steady since about March of this year. In addition, I’ve gained a good amount of muscle from regular weightlifting. Wish I could say how much but I didn’t really do a DEXA scan or measurements but I can absolutely see the difference. So yeah, I’m feeling really damn good about my fitness right now <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😁" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png" title="Beaming face with smiling eyes    :grin:" data-shortname=":grin:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
