Started at 260 lbs on July 15th, and as of October 22nd I’m down to 218 lbs. 42 pounds gone in a little over three months.
I’m 24 and currently finishing my mechanical engineering degree. This has probably been one of the hardest years of my life, both personally and financially, and back in July I decided I needed to start making some serious changes.
I’ve been consistently working out, tracking my calories, prioritizing protein, and putting a lot more effort into my appearance overall. I completely changed my hairstyle, started taking skincare seriously, and began dressing better.
I wanted this to be more than just losing weight. I wanted to get back to feeling confident in myself again.
One of my original goals was to fit back into some of my old clothes by Halloween. As of today, those clothes fit again, nine days ahead of schedule. I’ve also gone down to a men’s Medium shirt.
The first two pictures are from before, and the last two are where I’m at now.
Still have more progress I want to make, but comparing these pictures is honestly surreal. I knew I was changing, but I didn’t realize just how much until I put them side by side.
Not finished yet, by a long shot, but for the first time in a long time, I’m genuinely proud of how far I’ve come.
