Definitions of life altering probably vary greatly.

I've tried a bunch to drop body fat. (Garmin Scale plus math says I have 25 lbs of body fat (16%)). It's extremely difficult for me to lose weight period, let alone make any real difference in body fat.
My last real go at it got me down to about 13% but I lost a significant amount of power and stamina in the process. I likely didn't go about it smartly.

I'm at the point where I think nutrition is the existing barrier to my next level of fitness. Which unfortunately is still a long way from 'elite'.
Continually working towards 4w/kg....
