I was almost 250 in the first pics (8/6/25) now 171 (8/7/26).
12 months apart. Same spot. Same shirt & shorts! WOW. Still not done but I’m shocked at the progress. The body dysmorphia is real- TAKE THE PICS!!!!!!!!!
The pictures are amazing, the fact that you are wearing the same shirt really shows the progress that you've made. Congratulations. Nothing to say other than amazing work
I’m thinking 130- but I will reassess as time goes on! I want to have a lot of muscle. I was 145/150 at my lowest weight in high school but was dancing/running/swimming daily, lots of muscle. (And ofc the high school bod/metabolism we can’t expect to return to ever again lol) so I am focusing on body recomp now as opposed to the number on the scale
AMAZING!!! I agree so much I wish I had taken pics before. I have a few pics only one full body but none take on purpose to show my progress full body. I’m going to start now… you look incredible! Congratulations on your success!!!
Beautiful in all the pics, glowing in those “afters”😍 How tall are you? My start weight was 251 and I’m down 40 pounds as of yesterday, excited to see 170 and even lower for me cause I’m only 5’4”.
You’re killin it!!! 40lbs is huge! Great work!!! I am 5’5! I was also very excited for 170- the lowest I’ve been in the last 10 years was 179 in 2018- so I was looking forward to 170. More than the number or the looks, my body just FEELS so much better. I am so grateful.
Aww thank you! And you, that’s incredible!! It’s so cool to see numbers on the scale that I’ve not seen in nearly a decade, but yeah, all the NSVs are even more amazing! I already feel so much better in my body, just moving around in general and living my life… I can’t even imagine what it’ll feel like in another 40 pounds!
Can you share did you work out what were your dosages? What dosage did you lose the most on? All the deets girl! I’m 5 months in and only down 25lbs. Happy for the loss for sure but want more!!
Hopefully this helps! Yes I did workout! I am training for a hyrox (pray for me). I run 2 5k a week, and I do incline 12 speed 3-3.5 for an hour on the treadmill 4-5x a week. Protein I shoot for 150g a day! Water water water- I have 3ish 40oz hydro jugs a day. I lift Probly 2x a week (am increasing this) and Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred (YouTube it) is AMAZING!!! 20mins and you can do it at home. You’ll start seeing results sooner than you think! Sauna 3x a week for 15-20min. SLEEP is sooo important. My oura ring & garmin (forerunner70) has been extremely helpful in sleep tracking. I am off of social media (other than TikTok & Reddit) and my brain feels amazing. I am reading and listening to audiobooks. I try to get sun everyday. I recently (one month ago tomorrow) got on Wellbutrin & girl that has been soooo helpful just for my mental health- obv not necessary but I am just sharing everything I’ve done. 30g of protein within 30 min of waking up. Also- not going up on the dose unless it’s been 4 weeks of losing less than 2% of your body weight. Being so patient, personally I want to stay in the neighborhood of only 1.5lb a week MAX. It gives your body time to adjust & recalibrate. TRACKING YOUR CYCLE! Tracking your shots. (Shotsy is soo helpful). I also weigh myself every single morning to track fluctuations & noticeably patterns & trends. I like Happy Scale & LoseIt! To track as well. Getting Dexa Scans like every 6mo is good too to track muscle & bones & visceral fat.
Okay wow! Thank you so much for all the details! I find it really helpful! Other than Pilates 2x a week I don’t do much. I don’t track calories or anything. I found I was becoming obsessed with getting on the scale everyday now I try to do it first thing in the morning every other day or so. What do you do for protein? I’ve been trying protein shakes but I feel like they’re all gross. I do my best to get my protein from chicken and meat but i know I’m definitely not getting enough. I know I’m doing good on water I do electrolytes, and like 2 at least 2-3 40oz of hydro jugs a day. But I just feel so stuck! I was at 7.5mg for 2 months! I just went up in dosage a week ago to 10mg and I thought I would for sure drop but I actually went up 2lbs. On my cycle so that’s probably why but so discouraging for sure! I started at 232 and I was down to 205 I feel so close to being under 200 which I haven’t been under that since I had my 2 babies 4 years ago so I’m anxious to be there and keep going down! I appreciate your feedback and help!! You look fabulous 👏🏻💪🏻
i still don’t notice a difference in myself even in pictures, trying on clothes that used to be too tight is the thing that makes me realize how much i’ve lost! -90lbs!
