Just found this pic of me from last summer & though I still have a ways to go to reach goal weight, I see such a big difference! I think there's about 20 pounds lost between the pics. The decrease in inflammation makes a big difference, too. I'm 5'8" for reference, and about 190 right now.
You look good!2 -
@binkviv thank you!0

Updates even though I haven't been LC in months because keto bulking is terrible.
Getting a bit fluffy for my tastes, but I am still within my target weight for a meet in September. My wilks is steady increasing, and I am within spitting distance of qualifying for USAPL Nationals at my first meet (need 1145 total, at 1020).

I've always hated getting my picture taken. I took photography courses so I could be the one behind the camera instead of infront of it!
So I have very few pictures of myself. I did not think to take 'before' pictures, because when I started, I wasn't really of the mindset that I was starting. I was just trying something a little different, but expected to fail as I had so many other times.
Anyhow... here's a 'before' pic. This is from 2011 when I weighed my heaviest -- approximately 450 lbs.
And this is today, at about 240 lbs.
I'd still like to lose another ~70 lbs, so maybe next year I'll do this again.42 -
Started exactly 6 weeks ago and have lost 30 lbs. love this lifestyle!!36 -
You all should be so proud!! Such inspiration!4

The first image (me on the right in the white shirt) just came up on my Facebook feed from 4 years ago. The second image was taken about 6 weeks ago before my DD's spring formal. At least 125 pounds lost since March 2015 and now working on the maintenance game! Still struggling with being in front of the camera...

@eneild, @urbansmamma, @Steph_Maks, @Gallowmere1984, @binkviv all extraordinary, impressive, admirable, amazing and beautiful! Really, really beautiful! I hope those who profess to be uncomfortable in front of a camera will see just how impressive they look, and not get behind it! Any discomfort is totally unwarranted and unjustified! You all look incredible, you all look wonderful!!3

140 to 122 pounds, 6 months.
I've been told by a few people that I'm getting too thin. I don't let their words hurt me. I'm doing this to fix my liver, the weight loss is just a wonderful side effect! I remind myself that if the fat visible from the outside is going away, than the fat inside my liver SHOULD also be going away!

@LizinLowell That looks like way more than 20 lbs! You look great.
@Gallowmere1984 That is not fluffy! Unless you mean the hair.
You look great! The hard work has really paid off. You should put a before picture in here to impress the newer members with!
@Steph_Maks Oh my goodness!You are half gone! What a job. Congratulations! You look lovely!
@eneild Wow. You look fantastic. You'll be the smallest one in group photos now!
@CRZYFTM Great work! With a belly that flat, your liver should be MUCH happier. 4 -

You have done very well. The photo on the left could be your mom. All the best on your continuing Journey. You will get it done.1 -

I have no idea why anyone would say that to you. You look so very healthy in the current shot and your a petite lady too. So your weight is well within normal range. I know your liver must be loving you, since you have given it the space it needs You are awesome.

My definition of fluffy is wildly divergent from most people. My bulks normally end as soon as my abs fade out completely, but this time it's based purely on scale weight, due to needing to be able to scale in below 74kg for my meets.
Before picture in 2013 (was at 231, so not my heaviest which was 265, but the first time I let a camera catch me shirtless for progress):

Thanks so much! Never in a million years would I have thought this much success would only be 6 weeks away. It's not easy but it's totally doable. Thanks for the ❤️

Thank ya. One thing that these pictures have highlighted for me that I will never be able to not notice again: my navel is totally off center to the right.2 -
