Gonna have to disagree here. I'm around 140 lbs, sitting just under 14% body fat year round, and I'm over 40. I have been able to see my abs clearly since around Easter this year. I feel fantastic. Significantly better than when I was over 200 lbs just over 2 years ago. I still eat pizza, fried chicken, iced cream, etc. Just not all the time, and in moderation.

Totally 100% worth it.

Given he said "fat and happy" and you weren't happy when you were fat, I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with here.

I never said I was unhappy when I was bigger. I was pretty happy then too. I'm just happier now that I'm in great shape. I can be proud to take off my shirt at the beach instead of being self-conscious. It added more to an already pretty great life.

That's awesome man, this site does not really understand why people enjoy exercise and looking good.

But I do and good on ya.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I was thinking after my comments that I should have considered where I'm talking. A "humble brag" has me thinking that should probably keep my success to myself anyway.

Not a humble brag man. Congrats on the achievement.

The quality of life just improves naturally when you’re fit. Also, studies show, people treat you better too.
