First topless progress picture: Please be kind

kassiebby1124 · August 2013

I've lost 55 pounds since last January and 74 pounds from my highest weight. This is the FIRST time I've ever posted a shirtless picture. I currently weigh 195 and I'm 18. I started my journey at 250 but my highest weight is 269. I have a goal body fat percentage of 18%. I have to lose about 50-55 more pounds to attain this goal. I have a mini goal of losing 30 pound by December and 10-15 by October. I'm posting this more so because of my lower back fat. I notice it going down and it is making me happy.

I don't have many before pictures but here I am:

Thanks everyone c: Question though: If I get down to 170, do you think I'd have gotten rid of most of the back fat/love handles?

Great job and I'm so proud that you, at 18, have taken the initiative to lose weight. What an accomplishment. You are doing something really good for your overall health. I wish you the best.

Great accomplishment! You must be so proud of yourself! You are opening up your life to so many new possibilities by taking charge of your health. You look fantastic!

That has to do with working out, the harder you workout your back area and no you can't spot reduce or anything but you'll find it shrink. If I wear the wrong bra I still have what appears to be back fat but for the most part mine is gone. It has nothing at all to do with your scale.

Yeah this sports bra in the picture makes everything look awkward. Thanks so much

Doing good kassie. i think the love handles are the last to go. but they get smaller and smaller with the more weight you lose. keep up the good work!!
