I bought a scale three months ago and I lost 40lbs since then. (kbin.social)

At 32 I'm fitter than I've ever been before.

Thank you for your support. Yeah my upper body is kind of a mess right now like you when you started out. Building up new muscle mass there will be way more difficult than controlling calorie intake and doing cardio like a mad man. That will be my next step, I almost burned enough fat to at least be happy on that front.

I found success doing calisthenics. it teaches proper form and injuries are far less common than weight lifting, which seemed risky doing when I had back trouble. I've been able to build up my glutes and back muscles (and the entire posterior chain) in a slow steady progression. strengthside on youtube was my start. they have some great videos on the subject. from there I joined a calisthenics/bodyweight program and also just hit the local playground and hop on the monkey bars or whatever.
