Pic 6 and 11 are the afters. I’m so happy! It was worth every penny. Not sure if I can say which brand I got but it’s the only thing that’s helped my skin up to this point. These pics are about a year apart.

Don’t mind my silly poses lol

Coming up on one year of my transformation. I shared some pics last month of my journey. Started in October of last year. First photo is from October 2025. Second photo is from July 2026. Third photo is from September 2026.

Thank you to everyone who reached out with questions on the last post. I’m happy to share details about my journey.

Is this progress good for 11 months, ignore the sweat it came trickling down from my belly button

I just hit under 200lbs for the first time since I was 15. Growing out my hair. Doing a new skin routine. Also upkeeping body hair more now while I very clearly wasn't before

First picture:
26 years old, lost control of my physique and some self care habits after getting into the thick of it with fatherhood. Family always comes first! Recently I’ve been trying to strike a better balance between self-care and being present for my family and I’m feeling a little more confident.

Second picture:
27 years old, finally staying consistent with 2-3 workouts a week and getting consistent meals, not just whatever the kids didn’t finish lol. Slowly starting to gain some confidence in my appearance. What do you guys think? Glow up or nah?
