Consistency is Key
Artsharky's journey is a testament to the power of consistency.

This consistency allowed artysharky to slowly, but surely, progress towards their goals.
Setting New Goals
After reaching their initial weight loss goal, artysharky has now set their sights on shredding down and building muscle.
