Wow...that is a major difference as far as I'm concerned. In your face, in your tummy. Maybe the scale isn't cooperating, but there's definite shrinkage there. Good job!!2

Thanks so much.. I can see it now. I'm going to ignore the scale for the most part. Need to get a measuring tape!1 -
Remember, no matter how bad your starting place, if you're putting in the work, you owe it to yourself to be reminded of where you came from.

@Gallowmere1984 can't fault that, it's an amazing result and you are justified in feeling very proud of yourself! That's commendable progress! Slow and steady brings great results, congrats!
I can't post pic's of myself, because if I stand sideways you can't even see me.

I am 100% positive that no one here is going to laugh at you. Just the fact that you are trying to change for the better puts you within the top 20% of the population. Succeed, and you'll have joined the upper 10%. Keep it going for years, and you're practically elite.8 -
Just as a curiosity, @Gallowmere1984 , what do your friends and family think of your transformation? They must be equally impressed, surely?1

I avoid my family like the plague, as I spent the entire first 19 years of my life having "meant to be big, big-boned, blah blah blah" hammered into my head. I was obese by age ten, and this was "normal" for my family.
The only one who even knows about my shift is my mother, and she's taken it as inspiration to get her *kitten* together. She has had some nasty health diagnoses in the previous few years, but had resigned herself to an early casket before seeing that no, being fat isn't predestined.8 -
O/T question:
I'm so new to this... I've seen this term 'kitten' being used, in various posts. As wet-behind-the-ears greenhorn, what exactly does this word mean, in its various guises, please....?0 -
gallowmere is a BEAST - I'm so inspired!!!2

@nikoba you should feel very proud of your progress. The loss is most certainly noticeable, but I can understand your frustration at not being able to see a difference, with regard to the clothes you're wearing.
Keep going. You're doing absolutely great, and you should be very proud of yourself, because it's most assuredly clear you have without a doubt made inroads.
Fantastic results, well done.3 -
This weightloss thing is weird. I feel like I had a woosh moment this week...enough so, that I wanted to take pictures to be sure. I was only planning on taking pics every 2 months. The first pic in each slide is 236, the second is 216, and the third is 211...this is the first time that I can notice it in myself, especially in my back. This is starting to feel like a science project...in a cool way
I also just now noticed that I never seem to actually put toilet paper on the holder...good thing I live alone.

You can absolutely see a difference!
Also, I never put my toilet lid down. Seat yes, all the menz in the house are trained to do that but the lid? meh. my friend commented once and made it clear she saw me as a weirdo. lol1 -

Not noticing much from my profile view, in fact I look wider somehow. But I'm looking much less lumpy from the front now

Never not deadlift.
I'm actually going to be interested to see what happens with them once I move into the next stage of my training after my powerlifting meet in December. I'm already starting to incorporate things like front squats, but this coming winter I'll be moving to 2x training sessions. One will be for general strength/powerlifting, and the second session will be focused on actual weightlifting technique (snatch/clean and jerk).0 -
@AlexandraCarlyle *kitten* is what happens when you try to say *kitten* or damn or *kitten* or any of the other fun adults-only words - it's really a fill-in-the-blank.
ETA: Ha ha! I can say damn!4 -
Futtocks is a great word.... 4

I am shocked at the speed at which I am losing weight on keto. I guess going from 3000+ calories of CRAP to 1500 calories of real food does that to a person. I am 5'9 for reference. Goal weight is 150ish.22
