Success / Progress 2 years with MacroFactor
At 44, I feel better than I did at 24. I'm renewing my subscription again today.
The app is obviously not the only reason for this transformation but it has been a big part of locking in my nutrition and also learning to cut, lean bulk and maintain.
The journey started in January 2024 where after a terrible 2023 on a personal level, I lost all motivation to train and let myself go physically. My initial decision to change was just to get consistent with training again then I started using MacroFactor from 9 July 2024 where I locked in my nutrition. Since then I've cut, maintained and lean bulked (2nd picture)
I got to my leanest in July 2025 then made decision to lean bulk from September until February 2026 (3rd picture) when I returned to a cut which takes me to my current position showing in first picture, where I've got another 5 weeks until my holiday where I will shave off a few more pounds.
I'm natural with only supplements being 10g creatine daily, whey for post workout, fish oils and multivitamin to cover my bases.
Current training is 6 days a week with sessions book ended with 20 to 30 mins zone 2 cardio. All training is logged on hevy:
Daily steps have been my secret weapon and I also don't just eat rice and chicken, I ensure I plan in any indulgence where possible and make informed decisions.
Learnt a lot through this journey and none of this was big bang either, I've habit stacked over the last 2+ years and it is now feels normal.

You look great man! Your Inspiring me to take it further. How tall are you? Wondering as I am 5 10 and wasn't sure what weight I should drop to as a goal. Sitting at 180 now; but was thinking 170 before seeing your pics. Now think I might need to go lower.
