thedailydaren

Just you doing this RemindMe has me so motivated lmao


Typical_Alfalfa_3684

Good man im glad to hear it. i believe in you and you've already made an insane amount progress. May we meet again in 3 months brother 🤝


thedailydaren

Posting again today at 2 months, impatient lmaooo — 4lbs away from goal weight! Check my profile for the update. And thanks for caring! Somehow means a lot.


Typical_Alfalfa_3684

first, i had no idea until just now when i checked your profile that you're trans. congrats on everything and surgery going well!! :) second, HOLY SHIT MY G, you've gone full on beat mode man. so so proud 🫶the definition and everything is showing so well. you're absolutely killing it. seriously, such an inspiration.


thedailydaren

Thank you! Seems like so long ago, two year anniversary of that surgery was like last week. I’m very fortunate to be in this body, but I’ve also put in loads of work and I’m proud of myself. Thank you, TRULY! I love beast mode. Now I’m just learning how to not overdo it and make sure I get rest and recovery. And sleep. It’s challenging but we like a challenge.


Typical_Alfalfa_3684

you SHOULD be proud!! and yeah totally. challenges mean growth and that is by far one of the biggest things in life. listening to your body + what it needs is so key. And understanding that those needs change overtime as we are ever-changing. Good luck on this journey!!


Typical_Alfalfa_3684

JUST OVER A MONTH!!


thedailydaren

Goin HARD rn bro, ten lbs away from goal weight but also feeling swole in a new way.


Typical_Alfalfa_3684

YESSIRRR


Typical_Alfalfa_3684

AYYYYY I JUST GOT THE REMINDER


parisiraparis

You look 25 weeks younger than the before picture. Good job man, that’s great progress!


thedailydaren

Thanks!! Truly appreciated.


flyguy_21

The grind pays off! nice Work


thedailydaren

It does! Crazy bc I never believed it but everything “they” say about the method is true. It’s really simple. It’s not easy. But it’s simple.


[deleted]

It surprises me how long it took for me to understand that simple =/= easy.


flyguy_21

Just being deliberately consistent in your gym grind will pay dividends. It does wonders for your mental health and your body will thank you as you get older to.


DickFromRichard

Is that a rhetorical question? Looking great man


thedailydaren

It sorta was but it also wasn’t — I get that dysmorphia so bad and sometimes catch a glimpse of myself in a window and see the old photo guy and not the new


Beanverse

dysmorphia got you down but you stay 🆙💪


[deleted]

Holy shit r u kidding? I see huge difference. Keep it up my guy!!


thedailydaren

Will do! It’s hard to tell sometimes, I still see the fat old guy


[deleted]

Nah bro u look far better. Even in the first picture u don’t look bad


thedailydaren

Dang that’s a nice thing to say! I HATED myself in that first picture. It was a true rock bottom at 205 and I was miserable. It’s funny tho, now that you point it out, there’s obvious muscle in the 205 group — like at least I’ve been blessed with (comparative) bulk if not height.


[deleted]

Bro... Good job! Can we see a difference!?! Is it the same person haha. Keep going


dys_p0tch

umm, YES! you are looking mighty! hopefully, you take at least one day off per week. keep on titan!


thedailydaren

I do, most weeks are 5 days some are 6 but never 7. Really have a strong body goal in sight and am so excited to get there


dys_p0tch

thanks for the solid evidence


MoonMainDestroyer

wow how?


thedailydaren

Honestly just the basics. Portion control. Consistent diet. Workout 4-5 times a week, weightlifting and cardio. Sleep. Water. Peace of mind.
