Steemfat is the name for my journey to get in shape for steemfest 2.
As promised in my blog post this morning. Here are the progress pictures for week 6.
I can really see change happening now and my body is transforming. I feel great.
Going to the gym has become part of my routine now. I go there 5 days a week.
Finding balance
It took me a while to find balance on this journey. At the start, I went a bit mental and (funnily) didn't eat enough to gain results. I think I did not eat enough carbs.
Now I feel like I'm spot on.
I realize that restricting myself too much while trying to get in shape makes me miserable. You need fun in life and I get that from good food and a nice drink.
So I still drink beer or have a nice glass of wine (and sometimes a lot more....). I eat steak or other good meat from my green egg.
I go out to a restaurant with Bianca and have a nice meal.
But I do watch what I eat and drink besides that. No soft drinks or bad snacks for instance.
It's about balance and I can live with that.
I still do all the things that make me happy and getting results in the meantime. Great!

You're doing a great job brother! Proud of you! A picture really is worth a thousand words b/c you can see a big difference.
Couldn't agree with you more about being too stringent on the diet. If you're having fun and enjoying yourself it's much easier to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you feel like you're depriving yourself of everything you take enjoyment from, it weighs on you mentally and it's much easier to cut corners or quit. I've always preferred the word "lifestyle" instead of saying diet. Diet to me has always had a negative feel to it, like your cutting things out in the future for past transgressions. Lifestyle provides a very positive vibe and gives you the feeling that your all your actions are working together to provide the life you want. I'd love to take credit for this but one of my old boxing trainer's would always say this, and it's stuck with me.
Keep up the great work brother!!
Now we're talking!!! If I can give you another tip: buy yourself an elastic belt that you wrap around the waist while doing cardio. As tight as possible, but not that thigth you can hardly breath ofcourse. It helps to get away easier the (in Holland) so called "lovehandles".
Good job man, it really shows (and pays) off now.
Thanks, man!
Whoa!! @exyle, keep doing what you are doing.
Hard work paid off.
Great Job!!
thanks!
It's good to see finally your hard work and dedication has started to reflect on your body...I think consistency is the key here...even I have started working out recently and your progress has only motivated me to skip alcohol and grab my running shoes. Keep up the good work :)
Good luck with your work outs! and thank you!
Great achievement!... I am very sure that with the kind of dedication you put on your workout, you will definitely achieve your goal before Steemfest 2.
Wow the shape is comming , there is indeed a big progress compared to last time-good job. However note that being in good shape physically is great however mental shape must not be forgotten. Therefore take care of yourself mentally and internally by eating healthy, no smoking , take less alcohol and most importantly being positive to yourself and others -all these will make you a whole human being.
Really nice to see somebody put himself out there and share his results with us. Nice gains :). Keep up the good work
Thank you!
very nice progress @exyle, your shoulder looks a lot straighter and stronger than before and your belly fat also disappears, i like to mentioned that Hard work only pays off when it meets the right plan of action and you are doing exactly the same by maintaining the balanced diet and regularly going to gym. thanks for sharing.
wow you are achieving great results in such short space of time, i think it's because of your true dedication and hard work which paid off, you no doubt work with pure beleive that you can do it and you get the results, i hope if you continue in the same manner you should grasp more great results, have a great weekend ahead. thanks
Wow, there really is improvement @exyle, I think you still have a little bit and will be all the parties in the form :)
Great work.
Just like you said it's all about balance.
And first you gain muscle and then you loose fat!
On your place I would do more back and arms.
Take care and continue working and posting!
A great job so far!
I would say the next stage is to cut and tone - the bike and elliptical trainer are your new best friends!
Nice work man!
Thanks, man!
from front is huge difference, from back you need to work harder so muscles will appear there :) do you do all muscles complex training or only cardio ? the more it goes the better results will be
They are some really impressive results - you must be so proud of your progress.
Looking great - keep on going buddy 👍🏼
Great work and congrats @exyle..😊
I think you have a excelent progress.. carry on.. wish you all the best..😊👌👍
Upvoted for you.. Cheers..🍺🍻
Let's see, we have about 50 days or so until Steemfest, I'd say you're on target. I look forward to meeting you in person!
Awesome you are going! Looking forward to meeting you too!
Wow, now you are my hero! I understand you) I would also like to have an ideal form for such an important event. You have achieved amazing results. You handsome;)
You've come a long way in a short time.. well done you're looking in great shape.
I bet you're feeling much fitter/healthier too
Great job! Check out my article on nutrition (I was able to get down to single digit body fat a few years ago).

Its looking like all you need to do is tune in a few things and you will be at the goal before you know it my friend!!!
Wow you did good job.
thank you!
The results are really good but I think your upper portion of the body especially the shoulders need more exercise to be in shape. I still can see much fat in them.
I will get there. It's only been 6 weeks :)
dedication will definitely lead you to your destination..happy for you..keep on working out.. u ll be surprised at the end..great job..its sort of a motivation to people like us..thanks alot for proving that hard work finally pays off :)
one year from now...
That is a great job done buddy
The Back has been a great improvement for the way it is good job.

Very good progress. I'm happy for you. I think you have now a lot of motivation to keep going.
@exyle - Definitely you showed a progress Sir. I could see V shape of body there. Nice work going on. And love your work too.
+W+
Do some yoga and dont drink water during and at least for 1 hour after meal.
It will help you in decreasing fat.
Massive transformation till now i know i keep saying this but trust me this is getting day by day even machine failed to detect i guess ;p
Excellent progress!! I am glad you are still managing to fit in some of the good things too. I am making some progress on my journey but as I said before. I aint quite got your throw it all out there courage! Heres to shedding the beef! :OD
