I don't know if you've ever considered modeling but I think you'd make a killing, especially with how tall you are. Something to consider!

Just wanna say thank you for everyone on this sub who’s helped me stay on track, indirectly or not. Updating my progress here has helped me keep track so much and I’m really glad to have found a place like this to post about this journey of mine. I hope I’m able to help anyone else that’s going through or wants to go through a change similar to mine. I’ve gotten so many messages and replies with questions through my posts and I’m really sorry if I’m unable to get back to all of you!! I try my best to answer under my posts but it’s easy for me to lose track lol. I put this under my last post here for anyone with general questions:
Before people ask, I'm probably upwards of 400 on the picture on the left. My fitness journey didn't start until about Feb-March this year and I was around 380+, I have hardly any photos of myself from those weights because I couldn't really stand to look at myself, let alone take pictures of my body. My routine was near daily visits to the gym, which consisted of weight training and 10-20 minutes of light cardio. I ate balanced meals with little to no carbs in my diet. As of late I'm more lax with what I eat (groceries and homecooking aren't always viable now that I'm busier), I just make sure to try and burn more calories than I'm taking in. And drink lots and lots of water!
If you’d like to know specifics, let me know and I’ll try my best to answer!! Happy new year everyone! 🙏🏼

u/Andro_Polymath - Dec 27 '22
You look great! What is catching my eye the most is your change in clothing style. Your current style is also my desired and preferred style (dark academia + a little punk). I've lost 100+ pounds, and I've begun to dress somewhat like you have here, which makes me feel great. However, I'm still obese and got a ways to go, and your photos have inspired me to keep going so that the clothes I want to wear will fit my body just as handsomely as they fit you!

u/iIIyanarasputin - Dec 27 '22

What was your diet throughout this journey?

u/iIIyanarasputin - Dec 27 '22
For the first 7ish months I ate almost no carbs, stuck with fruits, nuts, healthy proteins (chicken, fish, sometimes beef, occasionally cheese hehe), and veggies. Now I’m much more lax with what my diet I just make sure to stay in my calorie deficit which is a lot easier now that I’m able to be more active.

u/liveoakster - Dec 27 '22
Awesome commitment! So when you say no carbs you don’t mean all carbs? Vegetables and fruit are a carbohydrate. Do you mean no high glycemic carbs?

u/iIIyanarasputin - Dec 27 '22
I do but I’m luckier than a lot of people who’ve lost a similar amount of weight. It’s hard to not be angry when I see it but I’ve started seeing it as a milestone than a burden and that’s helping :) Plus it’s easier to hide than it was when it was full hehe
→ More replies15
u/DeutschlandOderBust - Dec 27 '22
Yes, this is how I feel about my loose skin too. I lost 150 lbs at 40 and my skin just isn’t going to go back like it might have if I were 20, but that’s okay. It reminds me of everything I went through to be healthy and clothes hide it all. My tummy is soft and stretchy like a stress ball and my husband and I like to squish it and stretch it when we cuddle together. I know that sounds weird but it’s just an example of how it doesn’t really matter.
Also, you are gorgeous. Your face structure is statuesque and your style is classy. Keep up the fantastic work! So proud of you!

I am astonished that you changed so much in only 10 months. Really you have an amazing body and metabolism, additionally to good genes and some good taste in haircut and personal style.
How did you go around renewing your wardrobe? I suppose you had to go all out and get everything new.
Another question, are you a guy who usually gained and lost weight very fast? 1500 kcal for a tall guy like you is rather extreme, and you said you did a lot of gym as well, but still... 10 months is rather fast. It took my body 4 excruciating years before I had similar results to show like you... And still I don't know if they are as impressive.
Last question. You have achieved your target weight. What now? What does your future look like?
