@Keto_Vampire, when you already start at young and lean, the transformation may not be quite as dramatic, but looks like you are doing quite well with your addition of more muscle. I don't know if I'd call it recomp as you didn't have much fat showing in your before pic. Nice work - a good thing no matter how you view it.
@Yokum1219 your picture wasn't available in your post (?) Too bad, sounds like you are doing well, especially exciting when you are new to this.

Yeah, no good starting pic to show how undefined legs & back were to begin with.
Starting weight, waist size, & overall lack of definition (esp. abs, serratus, quads, hamstrings, & back) were parameters much improved on. Only size gains would be in deltoids (especially posterior & lateral heads) & quadriceps (sweep, again no good starting pic); combined with the fact that I actually dropped baseline weight = recomposition.
No photoshopping & similar lighting (bathroom, bedroom, artificial light) because photoshopping/skewing = cheating yourself. Cropping is the only modification used.
*I seriously hate the idea of bulking/cutting (not healthy)0 -
@Yocum1219 Well done, you can really see the difference and you look really happy about it too! 0

@Keto_Vampire You’re super conditioned in almost all the pictures which is not easy to maintain.. good job! But can I ask why you started the PSMF? I don’t think it’s necessary since you’re already so lean. From 2013 to 2018 it looks like you might have lost some muscle even though you maintained the same weight? When you said you took time off, does this mean time off keto or time off lifting in general?0

Yeah, I took 6 months off from lifting weights (still did cardio, still did keto - technically lacto vegan during...not intentional, just being too consistent) & went up to around 175lbs being noticeably less conditioned (started feeling & looking "flabby" & soft). I did PSMF cyclically to jumpstart conditioning - worked too well in combo with reintroducing weight lifting as I stalled around the 6-8 week mark.
Yeah, I still think 2013 shape looks most muscular overall (combined with how lean I choose to remain) - being the best (opinion) body composition. After that, life gets shaky with finishing up college, rotations/traveling, finding work, moving, etc...(less consistency mainly in weight lifting; diet was keto). Leg musculature always being the hardest to maintain when not lifting enough overall1 -
Down 102.8 as of today!28 -
@aluhsin that's amazing, well done!0

Wow!
So many great transformations! I encourage people to take before pics all the time. I know I didn't want to, but I'm glad I did.

I don't have my before pic on my phone but this pic was taken after I lost the first six pounds. I'm mostly doing keto because of energy/health issues related to severe reactive hypoglycemia but who doesn't love leaning out a bit?!
Beach ready!0 -
Ahhhh, dreaming of the beach. We still have a fair pile of snow here (9 ft still up the mountain - ski area near us). I don't think we'll be in the lake at the May long weekend

You look like the daughter of the woman on the left. Really fantastic results.

These are not very good pictures because I was not intentional about taking them, and they are just the pictures I was able to find. On the left is the before. In the middle is right about the 100 lbs lost mark. On the right is today - down 138 lbs.
I have lost 12 inches on my waist and 3 inches on my neck. Rings are down two ring sizes. I now weigh what I did when I got out of college.

@2t9nty, I'm so terribly happy for you, not to mention impressed. Thank you for being exactly who you are.1

This thread is kinda old, but i'm so excited to be on this journey. I'm only on day 14 of LCHF, with 11lbs lost, but the results are already apparent! 10 more pounds to go, so half way there. Ftr, I'm a sahm to NINE beautiful kiddos, with our youngest being 11 months and my first csection. For the first time ever I have really struggled with a giggly middle :-(.
