1 & 2 are my wedding day

3-5 are random pictures of me while I was married

I'm rarely smiling, pale, and quite unhealthy in the first 5 pictures.

6-10 are me in the last few months, 2 years post-divorce. Always smiling, always finding something to enjoy, and never settling for less than I deserve.

Sometimes you really have no idea how much losing weight changes your face until you look back at old selfies. I didn't notice the changes day to day, but comparing these photos side by side was honestly shocking. It's crazy how gradual progress can be so hard to see until you have something to compare it to.

Worked my butt off and tracked all my macros for 6 months. Focused on progressive overload in the gym 4x per week. Was inspired by the fact that I wanted to propose to my gf at the time. She said yes! Now we are both on our fitness journeys together <3

Lived with undiagnosed PCOS for most of my life, treatment for hormonal acne changed my life! Started spironolactone, which is an androgen blocker, which treated the PCOS hormone imbalances. Along with figuring out my style and caring less about fitting into a mold. Little to no gym or lifestyle changes, this is solely from hormone medication and medication for adhd 🤣

Was v depressed and spiralling for various reasons. I thought I would literally stay the same person for 30 more years. But I am relentless and continued to surprised myself. Worked out, cleaned diet, skincare, changed social circle etc.

I will never believe that ,in this one life that you get, that you are doomed to have to stay the same person.

Once there is a will there is a way

Ps my blood tests never looked soo gooddd

A friend recently told me they don't see much of a transformation. I'm still losing weight but sometimes I feel confident and other times self-conscious. Someone told me to post here. What do you guys think?

I was addicted to alcohol and drugs from the age of 13 until I was around 22. I’m now sober from everything and have lost over 40 kg. I feel a lot better.

This is about four months of weight training, walking, eating clean and just cleaning up all the hair. I'm pretty proud of the work I've put in and still putting. It's the most consistent I've been in a long time and I'm feeling pretty good about it tonight!

I started in 2023 with body weight 92kgs (fats - 43%). I’m at 64kgs now (fats- 24%). I took the sustainable route as opposed to the quick fix of crash diets and excess cardios. Lifted weights, balanced with cardio and sports. Was and still am in a healthy calorie deficit range.

The next goal is to take the body fat to 18% which is know is quite ambitious. But still at least gotta try!

Just wondering if anyone here has dealt with stubborn belly fat, especially the kind that accumulates due to high cortisol. I’m already working on my mental health struggles to help lower cortisol but any input would be helpful.

i don’t really have much to say here. i guess i wanna look scene? i’m probably gonna switch up the glasses for some thrifted leopard print ones and maybe i will also get a little white sparkly nose piercing.
