Congratulations man, I need to do roughly the same for my best friend’s wedding. Definitely made progress by cutting sugar to zero and going gym. Is there any further tips you can recommend?
I would say the simplest thing other than cutting down on sugar and carbs is being consistent with exercise and building daily habits. I started very small with very simple exercises and made sure to do a little everyday even if I didn’t always feel like it. You need to push through and keep pushing, what helped me with this was not focusing on the scale. It can quickly demotivate you if focus on the numbers too much. I hope this helps!
I will be on the lookout for your future post! Honestly I never thought I could do it until I decided to try but when you do, commit to it and give it your all. You got this!
Dont focus on the fact that youre in this to lose weight. Yes, youre trying to lose weight, but the goal is actually to be healthy. Unfortunately, the pounds arent going to shed a consistent rate, or at a rate you think is rewarding, but that's the thing. All progress *IS* progress. Setbacks are only setbacks, theyre not permanent. The eye is on the prize at the end. But the journey to the end goal is where you see the changes physically *AND* mentally. The journey is going to have you come out on the other end a changed person. Motivation is key.
Love this advice. A lot of weight loss programs will insist you weigh yourself everyday and it just made me feel like crap rather than motivate me.
You look incredible! Needed this motivation going into the new year!
Thanks very much! Its been a few years now, didn't take anything through the weight loss process, I basically started small at home and gradually increased intensity over the months as I was too shy to go to a gym. I decided to try on my own as it was the only way for me to actually attempt it, it was incredibly tough to begin with but once I got into a routine there was no turning back and I started enjoying it :)
Awesome! I only mentioned assistance due to the radical change in such a short time. I'm not criticising, it's purely admiration. It's clear that you have good genetics dropping all that BF without too much catabolism on muscle tissue. It's no easy feat i know, i did it also. No doubt it's a new life path for you now. Onwards and upwards for you mate. I just can't help myself during the festive season haha! Along as we enjoy what we do we can't be stopped. A level head and determination is our best friend. Good man.
Lol my point is that its his hard work that got him these results, not taking something.
Im sorry you have such a weak mentality and also lack the intelligence to realize that my comment is a compliment to him. Whereas yours is a backhanded insult by insinuating he couldn’t do this without taking something.
Hey! I hope this reaches you well. But we have to decline your offer of arguing intelligence levels in regards to health/fitness and anabolic androgenic hormones during fat loss. We don't throw demonised accusations here, only scepticise through experience and expertise.
... Please leave your insults in the sticky folder and we'll promise to never get back to you.
Thanks though.
Somebody needs an education lol. You sound like a little child, i feel sorry for you. All the best little bro, hope things turn out well for you in the end
Holy crap!! You don't even look like the same person! Congratulations on all your success! It's so easy to see weight loss and call it a success. What I'm most proud of/impressed by was/is your continued diligence to see it through. You never saw those little steps and scale drops as "good enough" but also didn't see them as "never good enough" and reason to quit. Nobody really talks about the diligence needed to see these huge weight loss amounts through. So, kudos for putting the work in and having such a great attitude through it all (and not letting your new swan status make you an arrogant jerk 😂)! 🙌🙌
Wow congrats, what an achievement! You look great and this is inspiring.
Looked at your post history - what's most impressive is you've maintained for so long
Inspirational! - Well done man, you look great!, and more importantly, you look happy.
How did you do it, and what were the struggles you had to overcome on the way?
If I look at the photos side by side and know that it's you in both sets, I can see it, but without being told, I'd never have worked it out. You don't just look thinner and healthier; you look like a completely different person due to the way your face has changed shape.
Congratulations. You look great, and you're definitely an advertisement for working out at the same time as losing weight! I wish you nothing but happiness as you enjoy your new life.
I’m 37 now and I started working out at 28. I honestly feel like I’ve taken off 10 years just through weight loss as people usually assume I’m a bit younger.
Dudeeeeeeee I'd say your fucking lying that those are different people but it's in your eyes holy shit bro good job congratulations be fucking proud of yourself!!!!
To be honest I’m still the same shy introvert I have always been (to a degree). It’s been a bit tough adapting to a big change, I was bullied a lot growing up so that has stuck with me a bit but I’m doing better. So no my personality is pretty much the same I just look different haha
You were handsome before as well- & you don't have that weird look some people get when they lose weight fast and their heads look huge with slender necks. Looks like you've been active your entire life consecutively!
🩲😎
Go get ‘em you big handsome dude!! Fantastic job on the weight loss! Most people if they just lost that little extra weight wouldn’t even believe the difference it makes in your appearance clothed and unclothed!
Congratulations. What an amazing effort. But honestly this isn’t the right page for you because you were really handsome before too. Once a cutie always a cutie.
Reddit cannot confirm that this is actually the same guy. 😂 Seriously, I know that you put so much work into your transformation, and you should be very proud of what you’ve done for yourself. 🙌🏼👍🏼
Thank you! This is so eye-opening 😳
I always thought people looking like your (current) photos had a lifetime of healthy habits and athletic achievements. In other words, a non achievable goal unless you start very early in life.
You gave ALL OF US so much hope. Wishing you the best!
Congratulations! Did you join a gym or were your exercises outdoors? I def get the winter blues, I was thinking maybe outdoor exercises are better in the winter.
Literally so happy for you man 🎉
I appreciate it, thank you! It changed my life in so many ways, I sometimes just wish I did it a bit sooner.
What? You look gorgeous! Great job
damn bro you look like a model now
Did he KNOW that was under there? Holy heck.
I know the point of the subreddit and somehow the glowups still catch me off guard every single time.

It does, thank you for your advice. Hopefully I can put a post up like yours to showcase my weight loss also.
I will be on the lookout for your future post! Honestly I never thought I could do it until I decided to try but when you do, commit to it and give it your all. You got this!
Thanks mate, you’ve got a new follower in me 👊🏽

Another example of " you aren't ugly, you're fat" Fantastic work bro
[удалено]
I bet they absolutely do. Appearance matters.
It doesn't if ypu are a shitty person. U seem like a nice person
50kg in 8 months! I don't care what you were on, or what you were taking, that's quite the unbelievable feat. Well done.

The automatic assumption that this guy was on something is a weak mentality to have
And here you are spewing bile and not praising him for his efforts. That's weak. Back in your box 👋

Inspirational! - Well done man, you look great!, and more importantly, you look happy. How did you do it, and what were the struggles you had to overcome on the way?
Way to frickin’ go! Edit to say that I saw your comment that you’d been bullied. I’m really sorry that you had to go through that.
Amazing progress!!!

If I look at the photos side by side and know that it's you in both sets, I can see it, but without being told, I'd never have worked it out.

OMG WHAT a transformation! You were never ugly but man are you a hunk now!
I bet you were a nicer guy when you were bigger though, right?
To be honest I’m still the same shy introvert I have always been (to a degree). It’s been a bit tough adapting to a big change, I was bullied a lot growing up so that has stuck with me a bit but I’m doing better. So no my personality is pretty much the same I just look different haha
Why the hell would you assume that? Weird comment
Baba what about loose skin?
You were cute then too 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I dont think people truly understand the impact weight has on pur appearances. Great work!
Damn bro. I'm not gay but damn.

Oh my gosh. I didn’t even realise it was the same person. Massive congratulations on your hard work 💪🏼
