  • I have a similar build and similar body fat percentage.

    I don’t tend to notice a significant weight loss from exercise, but I do look a bit skinner/healthier - muscle weighs more than fat.

    The only way I lose weight is by dieting, not exercise. But the exercise makes me feel better/happier/stronger so you do both :)

    Consistency is key - 3 months you are just getting started if you are coming from zero! From a similar starting point I found it took about 6months of daily exercise before I felt significantly different.

    Keep at it is my only advice, don’t sweat the protein measurements you aren’t at a level it matters. Avoid take out, eat reasonably well, and do at least 1hr of cardio or strength daily and you’ll get where you want to go.










  • I’ve been running ITX gaming builds for years, they work great and I don’t use expansion ports anyways.

    My advice would be choose the case you want first. Bigger ITX cases will take standard components easily (with some limits on GPU length), but if you want Very Small and Mighty (e.g. DanCase, Fractal Design Terra), component choice becomes very important. You’ll need to consider cpu, gpu, and cooling clearances.

    It’s like PC building on moderately hard mode, it’s a little more difficult but the results are worth it!
