I started dieting in October and began working out 2-3 days a week in March (I love weight training!). Right now, I’m doing a 30-day challenge to go to the gym every day—14 days in so far! My back hurts less, I’m sleeping better, and I can climb stairs without getting out of breath. I still have a long way to go, but these results are really motivating!

I just want everyone to know that you have the power to become your best self. Don’t be afraid to ask for help—this journey started with therapy and working with a nutritionist. Have a great weekend, everyone!

I lost 80 lbs naturally in 11 months—it’s been tough, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I eat 130-150 grams of protein daily on a calorie deficit, do cardio 4+ days a week, and lift heavy with hypertrophy training 4+ days a week. My new goal is to combine powerlifting, wellness bodybuilding, and train for a half marathon. Thanks to everyone here for inspiring me to keep pushing forward!

I’m (18M, 6’2”) almost at a point where I’m happy with my body fat levels, so I thought I’d share this. I still have a bit to go, but here’s my progress since June 2023. Hopefully, this can inspire others starting their own journeys. I went from 170 kg to 85 kg—my goal is 80 kg with a bit more lean muscle.

I started my journey at 340 lbs. The first pic is me at 300 lbs, and the second is me now at 190 lbs. I began in August 2022 and reached my goal by February 2024. I’ve been maintaining for the last few months. I lost the weight by counting calories, intermittent fasting, and walking a lot at work. I’ve struggled with weight loss my whole life, but it is possible! Thank you, everyone.
Also, Olivia is the Queen.
