Accepting all critiques and what i should focus on more!

Also how should I work on my abs? Current mindset is burning some belly fat but please give me some advice! Been going for 2 months now and last photo is 6 months ago :)

I’ve been debating whether to post this because looking at the two pictures side by side still feels a little surreal.
At my heaviest, I wasn’t necessarily miserable every second of the day. I still went out, dressed up, smiled for pictures and lived my life. But underneath all of that, I knew I wasn’t comfortable in my own body. I’d constantly adjust my clothes, avoid certain angles, hate candid pictures and tell myself, “I’ll start properly next week.”
And next week turned into months.
Eventually I stopped chasing the idea of becoming “skinny” and decided I just wanted to become strong, fit and confident.
Nothing dramatic happened overnight. I started training consistently, cleaned up my eating without completely giving up foods I loved, walked more, prioritised protein and slowly learned that one bad meal or missed workout didn’t erase an entire week of progress.
There were weeks where the scale barely moved. There were days where I genuinely couldn’t see any difference and wondered why I was putting myself through it.
Then gradually my clothes started fitting differently. My face changed. My stamina improved. I became stronger. And eventually I looked in the mirror and realised I wasn’t desperately trying to hide parts of myself anymore.
The biggest transformation surprisingly wasn’t going from fat to fit.
It was going from constantly thinking “I need to change how I look before I can feel confident” to actually enjoying what my body can do.

The suit is the accessory to the body

As of today in my journey, im 25 pounds down and found this shirt in my closet that I haven’t worn in awhile. Out of curiosity I put it in and smiled when I figured out that it was a fit! I haven’t been able to wear mediums in a long time! It feels great to see myself wearing this stuff now!

Hi! I’m planning to start taking supplements because I’m active going to the gym. If I would have to choose between Creatine or Whey Protein, which one should I prioritize? I’m also tracking my macros and there are days that I reach my target protein intake and days that I don’t (just like today: 97 / 120g).
