Accomplished through eating disorder therapy, strength training, cardio, walking my dog daily, and very low dose of semaglutide (currently .5 mg) - I don’t weigh regularly so CW is aprox

Top pictures are from 18 months ago,and the lower ones are today. Still a work in progress about 25 more pounds to go. My goal is to be healthy overall, but over the last 18 months I’ve found a lot of happiness in running.

I gained 21 lbs since I got back into weightlifting in June 2025. Prior to this I had some weightlifting experience from when I was 18 and then again around 25 briefly. When I started this current journey I was the lightest I had been in nearly 10 years after unintentionally losing about 15 lbs between 2022 and 2024. My weight stalled around 185 for most of 2026 but in the past month I've changed my approach to lifting, doing much more volume per body part each workout, and I instantly started seeing the scale go up again. I am extremely proud of the results I've achieved, and I have done this without the use of anabolic substances, peptides, GLP-1 medications or any other PEDs. Hoping to inspire other people to stay natural and push hard in the gym and with their diet.

Well, didn’t think I could do it. In denial for years ,but something clicked one day 💪💪 no glp1, no fad diets. Just CICO and 6 months.
About more 15lbs to go 💪

Done completely with willpower diet and exercise! Started at the end of 2023 just slowly changing my diet. Slowly went into a calorie deficit during 2024. 2025 really got serious and got into the gym. Now I follow a low carb diet and keep it pretty simple which with a good cardio routine naturally keeps me in a deficit as I slowly been losing. I have 15 more lbs to reach goal weight and see it happening soon!

I started my weight loss journey back in March at around 285 lbs, took this picture when I was 10lbs down in May and I'm now down to 205 lbs. That's 80 lbs gone!

These pictures were taken exactly five months apart, on May 16 and October 15. It's the same Old Navy hoodie style, just in different colours and sizes. An XL in May and a Medium today.

Only 90 more pounds till my goal.😝 ​ I got the math wrong 70 lb down.😅

Holy smollie!

Lost a whole load of weight when I was battling with a stomach ulcer. Started weight training while recovering, and am now just trying to improve myself.

I'm really glad I've found a passion for working out and for my new lifestyle habits

Sorry bad lighting in the second picture 🥲

I used to weigh 92 kg (203 lbs), and honestly, my eating habits were a mess. Beer, Coke, Snickers, fast food - pretty much anything, anytime. No meal schedule, late-night snacks, and absolutely no attention to what I was eating.

My turning point was trying the keto diet. I cut out sugar, drastically reduced carbs like pasta, potatoes, and bread, and started paying attention to my food choices.

I stayed on keto for about 6–12 months and lost weight pretty quickly. Eventually, I started slowly bringing carbs back into my diet.

Throughout the process, I worked out 2–3 times a week. Nothing extreme. I have a busy work schedule, so I never went crazy with training. I just tried to stay consistent.

The biggest game changer for me? Cutting out sugar, soda, and fast food.

Now I'm at 75 kg (165 lbs), feeling better, and still enjoying life without obsessing over every calorie.

My biggest lesson: You don't need to be perfect. You just need to be consistent.

For anyone who's just starting - small changes really do add up over time. 💪

I took that first photo about a week before my 40th birthday. I was tired of how I looked, tired of how I felt, and pretty unhappy with where I’d let myself get.

Yesterday was my 45th birthday, so I figured a current progress photo was warranted.

I lost the first 75 pounds in the first year. I was up and down a bit for a couple years after that, but over the past five years I’ve achieved a level of fitness I never expected to find. I’m healthier, I feel better, and I’m now over three years alcohol-free.

Lots of time in the gym, and somewhere along the way I learned to genuinely love running too. Definitely not something I ever thought I’d admit.

100 pounds down. Five years older. And I feel a hell of a lot younger.

Been hitting the gym hard and trying my best to eat healthy the last year. What else do you think I need to improve on?
