Gym has become my life

Being only 5’1”, carrying that extra weight was something I really struggled with, both physically and mentally. I never imagined I’d get to a point where I’d feel this much fitter and stronger.

I’ve gone from being someone who didn’t really exercise to running, strength training and doing HYROX. I’ve lost over 20kg, dropped multiple clothing sizes and completely changed what my body is capable of.

I’m still working towards my goal, but I’m trying to appreciate how far I’ve already come rather than constantly focusing on the next number.
Just wanted to share because sometimes when you’re in the middle of it, it’s easy to forget how much can actually change. ❤️

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.)

I’m going to be the best Ik I will
(Post is more for myself if anything)

Went from 345lbs to 315lbs today, is my weight loss noticeable yet?

I know I probably didn’t look like 400 but I’m also 6’3 so it kinda evened out a little lol. It wasn’t until the past five years when I started working out. When I graduated high school and was on my own, I lost a lot of weight from just not eating a lot and cutting out pops. The lowest I ever got was 160 and for being as tall as I am that not enough body weight lol.

And no migraines since my 3rd shot! Days of my life back.
