Xmas glow-up, inside and out!

[Journey]

Looking at some old Christmas pics... Wow. In the first one, I was with someone who didn't value me, plus I wasn't happy with my health. The recent pic? Still working on things, but I'm heading in the right direction, and treating myself better. That's the plan for this year, at least.

Being kind to yourself is huge. I'm all about that too!

 

[DocInTheBox]

You look good in both, honestly. But that negativity... it's a killer. I'm resolving to find more joy, too.

Both pics are lovely! But you absolutely deserve to be with people who cherish you. Congrats on the weight loss!

Huge congrats on the progress! Self-love is key. You're worth the effort.

Kindness to yourself AND others is the way to go.

You look great! Everyone's saying the 'be kind' thing, but it's true. You'll start to see yourself differently and build a better relationship with yourself.

You could totally pass for a celeb! Seriously, great job! Hope you show yourself some extra love this year.

Hey Slim-Loss, thanks! For those asking... I'm 5'6. Started around 240, now at 150. I'm 38.

 

[DenverDan72]

Hell yeah!! Congrats! It’s such a great feeling to just say, 'I'm taking control of my health!'

 

[DocInTheBox]

Kindness is always the right answer. BTW, you look great in both photos, but you definitely look happier now.

Any tips on hair care? I'm worried about hair loss.

 

[Bobby_97]

Gorgeous in both photos!

 

[Sassy_Road]

You looked great then and are absolutely stunning now. We need to value ourselves before we can expect anyone else to. You've accomplished so much! Kudos!

 

[Juice_Bro]

Wow, amazing job!

 

[Slim-Loss]

Were the photos taken exactly a year apart?!

 

[Journey]

Roughly a year, yes. It's been quite the journey!

 

[Bobby_97]

I've been seeing progress pics, and I'm so motivated! People showing loose skin... it takes guts. It's proof of how far you've come. I saw one person say "Loose skin is a badge of honor." So true! It shows major visceral fat loss.

 

[Witty_Quest]

I agree with Bobby_97. Someone on Reddit showed how far they’ve come in 7 months. They lost nearly 70 pounds since starting their medication. I'm barely in month one, so it's all inspiring.

Visceral fat reduction is one of the most important benefits. It can dramatically improve organ function and reduce risk factors. Well done!
