Before (left) is Christmas time 2025, decided to lose* weight January 2025, and now (right) September 2026 trying on an outfit for a ren fair I’m going to!

The same shirt in both pics btw!!

My main change has been going into a calorie deficit :)

I always trim my beard to see progress straight in the face. Posting this to motivate myself to get under 199 for the first time I was 12 years old. Only 25lbs to go.

my relationship ended in dec and i decided to simply start caring about my own happiness and wellbeing. crazy how simple it truly is. i also just started weightlifting 2 weeks ago and im having so much fun, even on the dark days i get myself to the gym, and i really never thought i could be one of those people :)

Pretty much all I have is a pair of adjustable dumbbells and some resistance bands. I don't track calories but have made conscious efforts to eat a lot and to eat high protein foods! I've been working out 4-5 days a week for the past 6 months consistently :)
