I was quite overweight for 20 years, now I'm just a bit thicc on my way to a lean muscular physique. It feels good. The biggest factor was getting away from the wrong people and habits. I'm not a fan of artificial intervention because I believe I should be able to get my body in line. It takes time for your body to adjust to the absolute shit you did to it for decades. I always said in my head "this is payback for what I did to me for 20 years, how can I expect to just turn on a dime." There is a good chance I will be the sexiest 40 something for miles around (I live in the middle of nowhere, but still!) The best feeling is looking great in clothes. Finding well fitting stuff is now fun. You can do it. If I can do it. Be warned that people who know you from the other physique will mock you for taking care of yourself. Be glad they are mocking you, it means you did something right. I felt such a sting the first time, it was traumatizing. "Shouldn't you be happy for me?" Turns out the answer is "no".
