Took me 2 years to lose 30 lbs but I was committed to slow, sustainable lifestyle changes. I almost didn't even feel the weight loss, it just happened and I gradually dropped 4 pant sizes.

I've lost about 90+ lbs. And since discovering mind pump, I've been adjusting to a system that is more about keeping it off (primarily through strength training). From someone who is exercising to get to a goal, I'm now doing it because it makes me feel good and stronger. I think I'm now a certified pumphead haha. Thanks, guys!

I've been failing for almost all of 2023 but I am determined to keep going. I have learned so much in my failure and it has given me time to develop the habit of eating right 90% of the time. I am successful in the fact that I have maintained my initial weight loss but I haven't managed to lose this last 20lbs and recomp my body yet. I have built consistency and determination of a lion! I will not quit.....quitting is not an option! I see this as a lifetime thing....there is no "end."

I’m a 30yr old female.. and consistency and discipline have been the hardest for me ever since I left Rugby at age 25… until now. I’m a former yo-yo dieter, fasting for weight loss, etc… Idk what flipped the switch … but it’s crazy to think that it took me years to just get the fitness mindset down without always having sports to keep me in shape! The mindset of changing my lifestyle so that my results were sustainable and maintainable AND doing it in a healthy way. I’ve binged so many of your podcasts to help me on my fitness journey and in just the last few months… I’ve changed my diet, my sleep schedule, my workout regimen… I’ve lost 32lbs in 75days and now I’m working on building muscle… recently decided I MIIIIIGHT attempt bikini comp in 2025 because of you guys and a couple body builder friends!

I've been consistent all year. Not 100% perfect with everything, I've still had the odd night out and had days off working out when my body needed it or if life got in the way (daycare + toddler = 🤧🤒😷). I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. It's definitely a lot slower than I would like, but it has been exactly what justin said, small achievable goals that become part of your life. I have 6 weeks of leave coming up, so my focus is going to be improving my consistency. I'm going to be focusing on muscle building, so I'll be keeping a close eye on my strength gains on key lifts, while hitting my protein and fibre goals. I want what I do during this time to be doable when i go back to work. I'll likely get more steps in because I'm going to paint the house, so incidental exercise will be up.

Slow and steady is a difficult mentality these days, but it definitely works wonders for your health. For me, I’ve really noticed the difference in my joints.

I still lift heavy but now my mentality is more about technique, reps and listening to what my body is telling me, instead of only maxing out. Thanks for the reminders guys!

I lost 3 stone (42lbs) 15 years ago, I kept it off for 6 years. When I met my husband it crept back up by 2 stone (28lbs) (I was eating the same size portions lol) but stopped it in its tracks, lost the 2 stone and have maintained for the last 3 years (lost it during Covid lockdowns). It literally is about identifying as a skinny person - if it becomes part of your identity, it's harder to go back to being a 'fat person' - and I never want to be a fat person ever again, and I won't be.

I used to be close to 300 lb and within my last 8 years I lost over 120 lb. My current weight is 194 lb. I checked my IMB and it's at a 27 so Am I considered overweight. Still I don't see how I'm considered overweight. I barely have any noticeable body fat and most of that body fat is my stomach. I'm 5'11 and I have 17% body fat.i Would appreciate your input. I also have grown muscle that I never had before so I don't see how I am overweight I thought I was doing good but apparently I'm overweight which makes no sense to me. Thanks, mind pump crew you rock! Also, My lowest weight was 178 but I was way too skinny so I started bulking a couple months ago and I went from 178 to 195 and a lot of it is muscle because I had no muscle definition before. But now you can see it in my upper body and I'm starting to do legs now. Yes in the beginning I skipped leg day but not anymore would love to hear back from you. I would appreciate it thanks

Hey guys! I'm a mom of three and am getting into strength training. I feel great and am enjoying taking my time with this process! I'm reading your book and appreciate your advice and guidance.

He's not had them before or since, 18 years ago. Just curious as I think I've been nervous to have too much protein after his experience!) Thanks!!

If you're eating protein from whole, natural sources (meat, fish, poultry) then you'll be fine. Improve the overall quality of your diet, and your risk for health complications will go down significantly. Along with the protein, eat plenty of fruit/vegetables, healthy fats, drink plenty of water- and avoid processed foods.
