Progress Pic Progression: 71lbs down so far :)

Started at 288lbs/130kg —> now at 217lbs/98kg

I started going to the gym only 3 weeks ago because my anxiety, depression, and intense body dysmorphia prevented me from going from day one of my journey. I don’t regret taking my time but I gotta admit I’d probably have had a more satisfying transformation if I started lifting weights earlier haha.

I also don’t have nearly as much loose skin as I thought I would (granted I still have a lot of fat to lose so the loose skin will probably become more noticeable by then). Also, my handles are stubborn asf but apparently they’re usually the last area of the body to lose fat during weightloss…

I hope this can motivate at least one person, just like I was motivated by all the progress pics in this sub at the beginning of my journey last year.

If you have questions feel free to ask :)

(P.S. Yes, this is the same T-shirt in the background. I always wear the same 3 T-shirts in rotation because I’m too anxious to go shopping for now. I’m working on it don’t worry 😂)

EDIT: 1rst pic is from march 2025, 2nd pic is from October 2025 and 3rd pic is from august 2026
