M/28/5'10" [289 > 180 = 109lbs] (1 Year) Maintenance for 5 Months!

The comparison picture is all the way back from 2021, but I've only been on my weight loss journey for the past 1.5ish years now. A friend sent me the old picture and I was pretty shocked. Sorry the comparisons aren't 1 to 1, but I hope the difference is clear enough!

I officially hit my goal around 04/27/2026 and have been on maintenance since!

Practically all of my weight was lost simply from calorie tracking / restricting) No meds or anything like that (not that there's anything wrong with that stuff, just wasn't apart of my journey.)

Losing this weight is easily the greatest thing I've achieved thus far in my life. It isn't the prettiest and I'm still not completely finished, but I feel the difference is night and day, even with just portrait shots!

Practically all of my weight was lost simply from calorie tracking / restricting, and only recently started exercising / strength training (still have a long way to go with muscle growth.) No meds or anything like that (not that there's anything wrong with that stuff, just wasn't apart of my journey.)

Both looking forward & feeling nervous for the next stages of my life progression, but currently feeling the best I ever have!
