I stayed at around 212 lbs for a year and I think that might be the reason I have no loose skin.

I will be starting weight training soon because at this point it’s harder to lose just by walking. I stopped walking November last year up until May.

In May I started again with only 10 min and build up psychologic tolerance. I felt depressed and low after many life events. I now walk around 50 min. It’s the way to do for me to not fail at trying to build habit. I just start very slowly and increase, I learned that after many quits.

I eat everything I want but in moderation and focus on always having protein with every meal.

About to hit 53, was tired of being lonely chubby out of shape single mom and put it all into the gym.

I lift about 5 days a week, grind out my calories and protein, and now moving onto to if I add mass and increase weights or still cut a few pounds. It's a fun place to be.

Through the roof change of life in all ways. I feel amazing. Buying new clothes is still shocking. It's shocking to be in a size s.

It's so freeing to not grimmace for a photo or ...need 99 photos to find one decent one.

It's freeing to be so strong, feeling sexier and enjoying dating and living life. After hiding from life too long.

I am building " the art of the possible" , life wise right now. And what a gift.

Progress. Redemption. Life.

Hard work and discipline I was seriously lacking before. I was lazy, I was mean, I was unhappy, I draink too much, ..the sun was too bright to walk in most days .

..now ... This is shangri la, this is nirvana , this is peace, my mind and body are Teflon coated against turmoil and pain.

Finally, living a real life that doesn't hide in the shadows of others.

Thanks for letting me share.

I lost 25 pounds my first year and started on a GLP-1 in January 2026. Since then have lost an additional 30 pounds. I ran one marathon fall of 2025 and two more this fall. It’s been a long and slow road but very rewarding.

I started my weight-loss journey at the end of 2018, when I was 23 years old and weighed 74 kg (163 lbs). Through calorie counting and exercise, mainly yoga and walking, I gradually lost weight and reached 54 kg (119 lbs).
A lot has happened in these years! I got married in June 2020 and welcomed my baby boy in September 2024. Despite all these life changes, I've managed to maintain my weight around 54 kg for the past two years.
I'll be turning 32 next year, and looking back at my journey makes me proud of how far I've come. ❤️
My approach has mainly been calorie counting, walking, and yoga. No extreme diets or intense workouts.
Sharing my progress as a reminder that slow and consistent changes can add up over time!
Total weight lost: 20 kg (44 lbs).
If you've been on a similar journey, I'd love to hear how you've maintained your weight over the years!

Started at 129kg and I’m down to 79.5kg now. Took me 3 years to get here. I’m pretty happy with how far I’ve come. Happy to answer any questions!

ADVICE WELCOME

first picture was 1 year ago (let myself go after son was born)

last picture from this month

should i stop cutting at this point and eat at maintenance for a month then lean bulk?

i feel like cutting any further is not going to help my physique, i feel like i need more muscle to look better at sub 15% body fat

1 year ago - 190lbs almost 30%bf

this month 155lbs and about 15% bf

im fairly convinced at this point i need to focus on building muscle?

TIA!

This is BY FAR the most revealing thing I’ve ever put on the internet, so please don’t be weird to me. I spook easily 🤣

(April 2025) 213 lbs > 148 lbs (October 2026) = 65 lbs weight change

I developed a serious workout habit and utilized a GLP-1 to do what I’ve been calling “the ultimate body recomp”. I didn’t lose ANY muscle OR bone. In fact, I put on 15 lbs of muscle and 2 lb of bone mass. So I actually lost 82 lbs of fat mass, and added back 17 lbs of lean mass, ending up with a 65 lb scale difference.

I’m doing strength training 3 days a week, and advanced classical Pilates 2 days a week. 1 day a week I do something “new”, either yoga, barre, or sculpt.

I just got a reformer for the house, so I’m looking forward to doing Pilates more frequently and using it for recovery from heavy gym days. I’ve been a fan of doubling-up recently, i.e, a heavy lifting session in the morning followed by Pilates at night.

Happy to get an ego boost posting on here, but don’t take it too far (I’m talking to you, random DM’ers).

Started working out around 2 years ago when I started college, dirty bulked for the first year and finally locked in and leaned out!
First pic was about 6 months in to lifting.
S: 205 -> 335
B: 185 -> 265
D: ? -> 425

Hello! I am 27years old. 6'2 In June of 2026 I was 205lbs. I felt a decrease in my energy motivation and overall agility. I switched to light beer, cut sugar out of my drinks, and added a 3/4 mile run every Saturday (7-10 miles a week) and starting doing 10 pull-ups a day. Hopes this helps someone!

Just need to conquer wiping and it’s over for yall

Kind of a hermit and only have a few people to share this with. It was a lot of work, so I want to put it out there even if people don’t know who I am 😁

165 has been my goal.

God bless you all

Been chubby my whole life but was at my biggest at around 190lbs when I got out of a 5 year relationship and decided to lock in. This is about 9-10 months progress. Sometimes i still feel like I haven't made much progress until I look at a side by side and it pushes me to keep going. Goal right now is to get super lean. Hoping to reach less than 10% body fat before I start bulking
