for the record... i am 5' 9" and 225 pounds. i have quite a bit of muscle, lift weights 5 times a week and am probably about 30 pounds over weight with a 36" waiste. i know what it takes to lose weight. i know how hard it is. i know how difficult it is for me. i have to write everything down, plan out my meals, weigh out my food, prepare all my food for the day and take it with me, i have to keep a log of what i am eating, i have to do at least 40 minutes of cardio in the morning in addition to hitting the gym in the afternoon etc.
no one here is going to be able to show me someone who has a good diet and exercise program that can't lose fat. its absurd. everyday, i see the same shit in the gym... obese people claiming they have their shit together, that hire a trainer but won't listen... that give 70% effort, won't write down what they are eating and don't stick to meal plans who can't wait to talk about their "genetic" problem.
i have tremendous respect for someone trying to lose a lot of weight and that is putting in the hard work and effort to get it done. i have zero respect for people with excuses who can't own their own consistently poor decisions that got them where they are and keep them where they are.
