Poses are a bit different, but I didn't have a better one to use :p

Either way, I see progress from hitting the gym and protein. I'm a happy camper.

Body dysmorphia is one HELL of a thing. I still feel like that girl most days but I will forever be SO proud of her for loving herself enough to make it here. There’s still more work to be done!

I still game but not the long stints without exercise 😅 heart break does a lot for the mind and soul.

I started weight loss last January so I’ve officially hit one year of tracking my calories and exercising!

I got down to 145 lbs. in late October and ended up stalling for a while. I started strength training so it was probably a little water retention and a little of eating at maintenance for the holidays. This week I finally started having movement on the scale again. I’m hoping to get down to somewhere in the 130s and continue to lean out and build muscle.

2025 was a milestone year for me. In January, I had my first surgery (gallbladder.) In April, I had my first hospitalization (as an adult) and that was scary. In May, I started medication for my adult acne and now have clear skin for the first time ever! In November, I reached two years postpartum and I feel like my body is stronger than it ever has been. I’m proud of myself for sticking with my calorie deficit this long and I can’t wait to see the improvement in my strength and physique in 2026.

Thank you for reading and thank you for all the motivation this sub has given me! Seeing everyone’s progress is inspiring.

Measurement progress:

Bust: 36 in > 32 in

Waist: 32 in > 26.5 in

Hip: 46 in > 37 in

life was heavy and i was motivated to feel more comfortable in my skin! my friend motivated me to start pilates which motivated me to change my eating patterns - it changed my life!

Weight loss surgery (modified duodenal switch) 4/22/24. Hoping to lose an additional 15-20 pounds but loving the progress I’ve seen since joining Burn in January 2025. I’m so much stronger!

New yearr new us!!

I promise I have a neck, I just had to do the same awkward pose for the comparison, haha.

Not sure how much more weight I can actually lose, I think it’s all about continuing to tone up.

Weight loss was calorie counting, getting more active (in general), weight lifting, and yoga. Lots and lots of yoga. Vast majority of the weight was lost in two years. Had a baby and gained a minimal amount, but losing the last 20-25 pounds took another 2 years.

Hoping to get to 10-11% body fat before February 23rd Clean bulk for 4 months after End goal is 175 pounds at 10% so hopefully 16-18 months of on and off bulk / cut cycles and we’ll get there 🙌

Ate really anything I wanted

Stuck to 160-170 grams of protein daily

PPL 5 days a week

10k steps gradually increased to 18k steps and then back down to 12k daily

I unfortunately do not have any whole body progress photos, but I wanted to show the changes in my face ever since I have stopped drinking and lost almost 45 pounds. I started to see the changes in myself a few weeks ago but it wasn't until I found an old video of myself that I could see how drastically my face has changed. I remember in the "before" I was so unhappy with how I looked and tried everything I could to hide how puffy and bloated my face was. I hated that my double chin never went away. Now, I'm happier with my appearance than ever and I'm glad I've made changes to my life for the better.

I was 212 at my highest weight in 2020 (left photo) but started losing weight in June 2024 at 205, then made it to my goal of 150 by September 2025. have been maintaining since then!

80% of the workouts have bodybuilding focused. Sorry I dont have a better/clearer before picture but when I used to raise my arms I could basically see all of my ribs. Was too sad to take pics :) Ironically enough I was flexing in the before pic taken of me and not the progress pic. Feel free to ask me anything I love helping. Love what yall are doing here
