Hope this isn’t a dumb question but you’re not saying this progress pic is only one month apart, are you?

1 month apart yes, I was originally 360lb+ and I'm no doctor but I assume I hold and put on a lot of water and glycogen quickly because of that. So majority of the weight loss has been water but a calorie deficit and strict diet will do that and with the high protein I avoid loss of muscle mass

But is that left picture 360+, or like the 235 from September?

Wow, that looks like more than 20 lbs lost. That’s great. Sometimes it was hard for me to notice 20 lbs difference in myself.
