In my head I know I’ve made huge progress, but I still have a really hard time seeing myself and my new body as attractive. I just see all the loose skin, and stretch marks… Hoping the body dysmorphia fades with time.

This week has been rough. Only down one pound. Feeling like a bit of a failure

I started my weight loss attempt a while ago just by changing my eating habits in 2023.
Mostly got upset at seeing pictures of myself during Covid years where I’d hit my biggest weight gain and wanted to really try to shed the weight.

I’ve never really had a “nice” body IMO 😓and actually haven’t been under 100kg since I was a teenager so when I got to this current point, I thought I’d post here to celebrate slightly and to track progress a bit and see if there was any feedback or suggestions on how to further improve as I haven’t really seen a marked improvement in torso yet. Keen to develop chest and lose the fupa in the coming year.

In March this year, I’d managed to get to about 107kg and then picked up some light exercise (rowing) since I was starting to feel lighter and more able to do physical activity. Has seemed to help with arms and legs.

Sorry the pics aren’t really consistent. Actually, thinking I looked better in ‘24 but maybe just the camera quality 🤔. I’ll try on the next one to angle it better.
Happy to have a conversation.🤗

6 Weeks in and 7.3kg down
Differences getting more obvious, other than that i dont feelich differences so far

- used peptides and lost ~2lb per week with diet, cardio, and light weightlifting
- plan to maintain current weight and build muscle with heavier meals and heavier weight training
- scale is by Renpho, aware it’s not completely accurate but it was nice to track trends!
- body fat went up due to period gains 🥲

First sets of pics I was 230( Feb 2026). Second set 195 (Aug 2026) Third set 181 (Oct 2026)
First pic was

Figured id keep taking pics and sharing because why not
Sorry for greasy hair. All of these were taken right before shower lmao

Hello! First time posting here, I’ve been training for a while, I’m looking to build muscle, especially in my chest and legs. I’m looking for people to share progress with and motivate us to keep training. People who want to give me advice are very welcome. I speak English and Spanish

Finally starting to see some progress from weight lifting. Wider shoulders and teeny bit bigger arms. My stomach and thighs still has a long way to go but definitely happy with my progress so far.

117kg->115kg->100kg

10lbs down, taking a long time, but you gotta keep going.

EDIT: Goal Weight is 180, not 280! Haha

It's a start. From next week I'll see if I can do before/after pics.

3 things I did well this week:

1. Set targets for daily exercise.

2. Meal prep.

3. Went walking when I didn't feel like sweating it out at the gym.

3 things to improve next week:

1. Be consistent with sleep time. Tired = cravings for bad food.

2. Buy healthy, ready-made meals to be prepared for cravings. No fast food.

3. Do strength training 3 times per week.

How do I burn fat on my abdominal/hips area? I feel like I'm a bit stuck

Trying to lose belly fat with diet

I hit the 50lbs lost mark! I’m pretty thrilled about that! I also lost 9 inches around my waist.

This is not my starting weight… this was 8 months ago when I was about 280

To be honest, I don’t entirely see that much change in myself. Do you? Goal is another 15-20 lbs to go. (Portion control, some intermittent fasting, gym 2 days a week).

Haven’t checked in for a hot minute! When that plateau gets ya, it gets you good!! But… My progression from day 1. 232 lbs, 199 lbs, 190 lbs and the circle pic (today) is 184 lbs. I’ve incorporated weight training and my diet has changed a bit. But them Doritos still killing me! Still got some muscle I want to see develop. Let’s see what happens next!
