Ask HN: What was your “why didn't I start doing this sooner” moment?

Was honestly expecting an obese -> skinnyfat runner body transformation. Pleasantly surprised. What's your diet look like nowadays and what are your lifting stats/height if you don't mind sharing? Thanks.

I just posted some diet stuff up above. But I'm 5'11". Lifting stats? Nothing terribly impressive, I'm afraid.

I don't really care about strength much, I try to focus on slow, controlled movements, and being really safe. But, with that said:

- bench: 400lbs

- squat: 315lbs for reps (been a while though, I recently hurt my back)

- deadlift: 585lbs (before I hurt my back, now I don't do them)

If you are truly natty, it would be absurd to call a 400 bench and 585 dead "not terribly impressive".

Btw, crazy gains. You look big in that second pic
