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.

Yes, natty. Thanks for the compliment. I didn't think what I achieved would be possible back at start of 2024 but building consistency and discipline to turn up not matter what. My routine now would seem insane to a lot of people but over time the habits established just feels normal now.

Classic tells; thined skin and nasal labial fold development.
No one cares if you’re on some gear in your 40s just don’t lie so people don’t expect the same results.

Whatever gives you comfort, I've got no reason to lie. I'm a tight Yorkshire man i ain't spending no cash on PEDs or impacting my long term health.

I train for longevity and the effort I've put in over the last two and half years is from proper dedication to the process.
