Welcome to Thunderdome

The realistic goal would be another 20 pounds, and that's what I'm shooting for, 225. However, I'd like to get down to 200, although one of the co-workers I'm in this with said, "Dude, you would look like a crackhead." He has a point. My wife said something similar when I told her, "You've got too much muscle to drop that low." I do not want to lose muscle mass.

225 is the victory. Once I get there, if I see room for more improvement without looking like I'm on Ozempic, I'll keep going.

I have already noticed a slimming in my face.

Good luck! It's hard.
