    I had my photo taken for work and was super impressed with thin-ness of my face. The receding hair line - no so impressive

    Good to see you. I have wondered where you've been. Yes, your face does look thinner when compared to other pics in your profile. Thumbs up! I feel the same as you feel about...my wrinkles. But hey, I'm 63. Wrinkles gonna happen. It's in my genes. I was a spittin' image of my Mom and am becoming a spittin' image of my Grandma. It's all ok.

    Good to see you.

    Thanks! I stepped away for a bit, but wanted to check in to see how the group that inspired me to lose 32 lbs, 16 kilos was doing!

    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!!

    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!

    Yes don't put to much stock in the scale. Make sure you measure because a lot of times when it says you haven't lost you will be losing inches. My weigh day was today and the scale says i had gained 2.4 pounds but the measurements say I have lost half an inch in my neck, arms, and hips. I think I will be able to go down another size real soon hopefully. Non scale victories are awesome. Congrats in your weight loss I can tell a difference in the pictures.

    Here we go!! 6 months progress. I took a diet break for a full month from August-September. Came back with a renewed determination. You want to know what’s crazy? I’ve been eating the same amount of calories the whole time from May-now (not counting the diet break). Didn’t lower macros.

    You're recomping @LolaDeeDaisy23, correct? Could be a bit of evidence that muscle does, in fact, burn more calories that fat. Kudos!

    @kpk54 I’m in a deficit since I’m prepping for a show in January. Lifting 5x per week and 30 min cardio 5x a week (other than that, I’m very sedentary).

    Haha, I know them feels. I still get a bit lazy and bushy through the winter, but for the most part, I haven’t kept much facial hair since my original 100+ lbs. loss.

    Men get rid of their facial hair and women start wearing colors (other than black) and horizontal stripes. :)

    Hey Melissa, you look great! Did you follow a particular Keto diet? I just started two weeks ago, generally following Ruled.me. I love to cook so I've modified recipes to things I enjoy while (mostly) maintaining my macros. I'm down 10 pounds, looking to lose at least 10 more. I think the last 10 will take some time, I lost 7.5 in the first week...

    Not the best progress pics, just the face. First MFP profile pic versus newest MPF profile pic.

    About 1 year and 100 lbs apart.

    @Steph_Maks - I cannot think of adequate words here to describe the glorious improvements in your skin!!!! Dewy, bright, pink of health, glowing!!! Those just don't even encompass it all... You look so young, healthy, and vibrant!!!

    Congrats.

    Edited to add - even your hair looks more luscious and brilliant! <3

    August 2009: 170 lbs, 22yo (before keto, previously lacto-vegetarian for about 4 years, diet of mostly yogurt, whey, fruits, oatmeal, cereal...aka before the discovery of fire...cooking that is, lol)

    2013: 160-165lbs, 26yo: Did keto & IF a few years (about 4 years) at this point...took a break doing IIFYM with a few strategically placed days of zero/residual carbohydrates for conditioning purposes (to gauge progress, arguably/subjectively my best body composition)

    i0j1dchvymcr.png

    2018/Current: 160-165lbs, 31yo (slowly getting back into shape after some time off...back into keto with some PSMF done cyclically & "carnivore" diet recently...main focus has been recomposition/fat loss whilst maintaining muscle...I'm not into getting "big"/"gainz")
    Slow & Steady conditioning transformation/recomposition, no where near as dramatic as most of you guys/gals overall
