damn, congrats, and yeah, lifting is amazing, you burn more calories just by existing, so yeah get on that shit. one advantage people who have a lot of excess body fat have is it is WAY easier to build muscle. while of course the plight of someone like me who has to like, try to eat enough calories/protein to get gainz is practically a joke compared to what you have to deal with being obese, hey it's a silver lining. lets all lift for lenin~
