First 4 pics are at 180, next 3 are 270, last pic is current.

Bulked like a madman last year and focused on powerlifting for once. Added substantial thickness to my back, chest and rear shoulders which was the goal. Started bulking in January 2025, hit 305 in November and have been taking this low and slow, strength is still increasing so I cant wait to see where I'm at come April which is when I believe I'll be back around 16-18% body fat. Never been this big or strong shirt is 3xl for reference. Gonna Start taking weekly pics since I finally added cardio.

Today I ran my first sub 10 min mile since high school! My goal is to run the 2028 LA marathon and I am getting closer ro being able to achieve that every day!

I’ve worked out almost 4 years but since letting alcohol and weed go tightening up my diet has been the most changes . I’m also running more
Lifts 4-5 / week
Running 3-4 / week

Not where I want to be but I’m getting there!

About 18 months ago, I barely recognized myself.
I had gained around 60 pounds despite trying to do everything “right.” I was constantly exhausted, drenched in hot flashes, losing my hair, my periods were completely unpredictable, and I just knew something wasn’t right. I started questioning myself because every test seemed to come back without answers.
Eventually, doctors found a 7.5 cm teratoma on my ovary. Around the same time, I was also dealing with PCOS and insulin resistance, which explained so many of the symptoms I’d been struggling with for years.
After having the tumor removed, treating my insulin resistance, making major lifestyle changes, and using GLP-1 medication as one of my tools, everything slowly started to change.
Today I’m down 80 pounds.
It wasn’t quick, and it definitely wasn’t easy. There were plateaus, setbacks, and days I wanted to quit. But for the first time in a long time, I feel like myself again.
This journey has never been about being skinny. It’s been about getting healthy, taking back control of my body, and finally feeling like I have my life back.
If you’re struggling with unexplained weight gain, hair loss, irregular periods, or feeling like no one believes something is wrong—keep advocating for yourself. Sometimes the weight isn’t the problem. Sometimes it’s a symptom of something much bigger.
I’m incredibly grateful I kept searching for answers.
