[Results] 87 weeks, 46kg, and FFMI was the hard part

Results

Quick one. Canada here.

resistance training works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 14 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Stalled for 14 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 17.

Adding to this: DEXA is doing more work than the comment implies.

Yeah, protein matters on rapid loss.

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
