Started lifting back in November of last year. Really trying to get fit in my 30s. Anyone in a similar boat or was? Would like some tips. Been excess of 200lbs since high school and weight cycles through my 20s. Just wanting to getting strong toned and active for my family. 31 5'7" 220lbs. I know it's never too late to start but I keep reading about how it's an uphill battle after 28(sounds bullshit to me) I get I can be harder but how much difficult can it be?

I'm a fat pudgy fuck.

Yes, but can you give me an honest accounting of what is leading to this? You question is framed as a lifting/exercise question, but I think you may be better served by considering diet first.

You should absolutely 100% keep lifting, but you will not get the results you want if you don't put diet front and center

What are you eating/drinking, who are you eating it with, and where are you doing it?
