Down 100 pounds in 11 months, natural. Initially mainly diet with moderate walking for first 6 months (7k steps per day). Starting in July upped the walking to 15k steps per day, then upped the steps to 20k per day in September. Also started lifting seriously again in September.

Currently at 26% bodyfat per DEXA scan.

Still have a ways so go but I’m loving the path that I’m on!

The pandemic was really harsh for me and I gained around 54lbs all thoughout. Until I decided that things needed to change. I began dieting on my own and lost about 22 pounds in 6 months, then hit a plateau which I was stuck in for another 1.5 years. Due to that I tried going to the doctor and using appropriate medication to help, along with joining the gym, and finally lost another 26 pounds after a few months. It really changed my life.

Feeling over the moon! Bought a MEDIUM gilet yesterday and it has space in it!!!!!

Hell I might really truly be SMALL one day! 😱

Hoorah! On a high 🥳

Working to get slim thick!

I grew up very very skinny. I hated that everyone thought it's acceptable to skinny-shame but fat shaming is not acceptable ????

Anyway, I was tired and decided to channel my energy to strength training, eating more, and working on feeling good in my own skin.

I am 5'1 weighed 95 lbs in the left pic and now at 115 lbs. There's 3 years between these pictures. I was 20 in my first pic.

My goal is to put on even more muscle and get to 120 lbs in a year. I also do running, hiking, cycling, so burning excessive calories and it's hard to eat more every single day. But looking at my old pic I don't even recognize myself!

✨Don't Be Bitter, Do Better ✨

The now photo isn't very flattering, but I've gained 70 pounds in the last year after hovering around my before pic give or take 10 pounds for years. It's been a bad year. I've cut out sugar and fast food six months ago, and I've gained 10 pounds :(. I do lift weights regularly and I'm planning to start running again. Just posting here so I can keep a timeline of some progress as I try to lose weight before I go back to school in Jan.

Feel like I have spent half of this 8 months in and out of plateaus, but still going forward. Im really happy with my progress, but I do wish it was happening a little quicker!

Excuse my crazy hair lmao also what color shoes should I wear yall skinny bitches have so many options 😭

Just here to be supportive ~ I’m your average person. If I can do this, you can too💗

A solid plan helps make an execution. Stay consistent, and remember that growth in anything is uncomfortable.

My goals now are to lean out & build muscle.

Focus:

• diet: whole, unprocessed foods. With lots of lean proteins + a slight calorie deficit

• workout: -compound resistance training -moderate weight

• higher reps
• moderate cardio (bump HR 50%-60% higher than resting)

• adequate rest/recovery

Currently taking this week to reevaluate my caloric intake (I quit tracking once I was able to get the hang of what I was supposed to be doing and it’s gone well) I want to be sure where im at though with my calories prior to making a slight cut there- if I need to cut, I’ll be cutting 300 calories from my daily intake but, increasing my protein to help me feel fuller longer + fuel my body for muscle growth.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions please leave them behind! I love, love, LOVE the constructive criticism 🤌🏻

& ofc if you have any questions feel free to ask💗

I hope you’re all having a great day🫶🏻

Stay motivated 💪🏻

It’s so exciting to see the progress. Also I noticed the way that the string on the shorts is longer because they’re not as tight :’) 30 lbs down, 40 ish more to go!

Been working out for a few years but finally decided to cut some weight

These are the same pants! And I got a new phone 🤣👍

from 17% body fat to 8% on the right.

In both these pictures I’m getting ready for a night out

Obviously nutrition on point (cheat meals 1-2 times weekly), tracking macros, doing cardio daily (at least 30min). Strength workouts 6 times weekly

Originally was 250 pounds in August 2023. I have been trying to lose this stubborn abdominal fat. Been mostly walking and occasional running. Pretty consistent with eating 1500-1700 calories. Would HIIT and some weight training help lower the “belly hang” and stubborn fat?

First 2 pictures were during active addiction and then to present day

(Little backstory if interested) Started journey originally at 268, consistently hit gym for about a year. Was about at 180 of lean muscle and then got addicted over the summer and ruined a lot of my progress from malnutrition, not hitting gym at all, and just not eating plain and simple but I’m back on it and I’ve already made some progress in a few months and plan on continuing!

One meal a day & casual gym sessions throughout the week. No mass strategy, just being less gluttonous and finishing other people's meals
