Because I’m vegan my family already assumed I was too obsessed with food before I even started to lose weight haha. My weight only recently went into the normal BMI as well but since I do bodybuilding (kind of) I know BMI will score me a bit higher probably and since I’m short BMI wants me pretty lightweight haha

I have the opposite reaction but I also intermittently fast and that’s changed my hunger cues completely

Yeah people definitely DO NOT like to be reminded that work goes into change. I mean I was definitely not receptive to that message when I was obese either! I have gotten messages asking for advice or how I lost weight and when I tell them they always seem disappointed. Everyone asks for a secret when there isn’t one 🤷‍♀️

Yes people are impossible to please! Also thanks so much for your kind words! I know I’m not too thin I’m just very very short. Size 0 sounds extreme but if you saw me in person you’d think I was pretty normal looking haha

that’s actually a great point! I suppose there may be big time gaps when people see me so they think it’s like I’ve suddenly changed when it’s actually been a slow process behind the scenes. Thanks for the input that’s something I hadn’t considered

I also wonder if in America we almost are inclined to see a healthy thin body as too skinny. In Japan when I tell my friends I wanna lose more weight they’re like “yeah that seems fine” Instead of “OMG MORE WEIGHT YOUR WASTING AWAY” Haha 😅

Not a race but like I want them NOWWWWW Haha I’ve been pretty patient so I think I can wait a little longer.

Wow thank you so much! I think perhaps being a new lifter I was able to make faster progress! I’ve heard beginners can lose fat and put on muscle quickly and in tandem haha I would expect further progress to come much slower but that’s okay 😊

It’s an interesting character study isn’t it? It really showed me how uncomfortable people felt about me when they started to see me as equal to them. This must be why you see so many relationships and stuff end when one decides to lose weight or change something dramatically. I’m not that pressed about it more was just…

I mean people also say it to me in person so I don’t think that matters much. I don’t post a lot about weight loss on Facebook because I don’t want to be annoying haha It just seems like people are supportive and then suddenly they’re against you!

Turns out I had a chin deep down all along!!

I always tell people the same thing. Consistency creates change inevitably! JUST KEEP GOING!!

Thank you! I feel strong! Although I’m in a cut right now so feeling less strong than usual haha ❤️🌈

[/quote] What do you use at home to lift? [/quote] Just some dumbbells. I have a lighter set and a heavy set. I’m not totally sure the exact weight I lift. Just as heavy as I can. They have extra plates that can be added so as soon as I need more weight I’ll add em on!

I have 12 more lbs to lose until I reach my goal of losing 100lbs! Once I hit that I am getting my loose skin on my tummy taken care of! :D

I’m eating a Whole Foods vegan diet! I also lift weights as heavy as I can’t about 4 days a week and that’s pretty much it! Just staying consistent is the key!

I actually hate the gym haha I workout at home only! Makes it much easier to stay consistent for me!

Thanks for your kind words everyone :)

First AD was released :D

Yasss that’s the best! I love when I see people from the past and they can’t recognize me! Congrats!!!

You went from someone’s Dad to a DADDYYY haha Amazing work! Looking 👌’

You’re so right! I shouldn’t qualify it. Honestly maybe since losing weight in some ways I feel more insecure about being confident because when I was fat and confident it was “inspiring” but now if I’m confident it’s “narcissistic” or “conceited” to some people. Just gotta stay positive! Thanks so much :)

My instagram name is hannahbj1 I post food and fitness related stuff all the time!!!

225 was my staring weight! So you can do it because I did it! I’m still trying to lose that final bit of weight. Anyone can add if they like :) I want more fit friends :D

Also bi AF 🌈🌈🌈 Add me anyone! LGBT or not I want as many motivated friends as possible please :)

It’s not my design so it’s not my decision. These are also the unedited pictures so I’m not sure if that will make a difference. I think the vibe was sort of forest fairy woodland nymph sort of idea and so that’s why the grass plains were picked. :)

Hello there! I log in everyday and have N open diary! I’d love to have more support and motivation! I also would love to help others on this journey! ADD ME PLEASE :D

Yes please anyone add me too! I need more awesome friends to interact with :D
