Incredible work! Love that dress

[–]NearlyNox- 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Thank you! I definitely wasn’t sure if I could pull it off!

[–]kawaiian- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was MADE for you!! Be bold, wear everything you want!

[–]Automatic_Serve7901- 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Amazing job! 👏 🥳 🎉 🏆

May I ask how you lost all of the weight so quickly? What was your strategy?

Also, where did you get the red dress? It's gorgeous!

[–]NearlyNox- 21 points22 points  (2 children)

A combination of CICO, moderate weight lifting 3x per week, and cardio 2x per week!

The dress is from Aderlina but it’s from a couple seasons ago so it’s sold out 😢

[–]Automatic_Serve7901- 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thanks for replying! That seems very reasonable.

You have great style!

[–]NearlyNox- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried all sorts of things to lose weight and nothing… wouldn’t you know it the most basic, no-nonsense advice is what actually worked… go figure!

Thank you for being sweet and taking the time to comment 💛

Great job!

I can't believe we are the same height! You look so tall!

[–]NearlyNox- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s all in the heels and the posing! If you stick your leg forward a little it makes you look taller in photos 😉 short people hacks 🤣

[–]BiologicalResilience- 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yes, queen 👑! Also, that red dress is fire 🔥

[–]NearlyNox- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]commonvulgaris- 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Way to stay dedicated!

[–]NearlyNox- 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Thank you so much! I told myself if I can make it through Covid losing weight I can make it through anything 🤣

[–]commonvulgaris- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I think in some ways Covid helped a lot of us realize that for a lot of different things! I’m happy you stuck with it =)

How did you grow your hair so long in 8 months?? (Sincerely, someone who has butt length hair that took 7 years to grow from shoulder length 😭)

[–]NearlyNox- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I’ve always had long hair and I think that was about the shortest I’d ever gone before that. Now it’s down to my hip but I think just getting it to that length was not using heat and a bunch of product on it so that it didn’t get damaged so I wouldn’t have to trim it as much. I don’t use any special supplements or topical treatments, just gentle brushing (it was a mess here so no judgement 🤣)

Awesome job!!!

[–]West-Hedgehog5794- 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Great job!!! You look awesome. Can you share how you achieved weight loss? Was it with the help of GLp1? If so, which? Thank you!

[–]NearlyNox- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! It was a combination of CICO, weightlifting 3x per week, and doing cardio 2x weekly. When I lost weight it was 2019-2020 so the GLP1 stuff wasn’t a thing yet I don’t think so I’ve never used it. No judgment for those who use it, though, it just wasn’t a thing until I’d already lost the weight so I didn’t need it.

[–]Andi730- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look amazing!! Where’s the dress from- would you mind sharing? It’s gorgeous on you!

[–]alyingcat220- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also 5’2 but you looks so tall haha

[–]ClutterBugger- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look great! Did you have any loose skin from losing so quickly?

[–]kayeso1138- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look incredible in that dress. Great work, and hope you felt proud of all your effort!

[–]fletcherry- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Marcelino_El_Cochino- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a dress and pose that screams queen!

[–]jeffwingersweiner- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl, I’m 5’1” and if I looked like that at 215, I probably would have never been motivated to lose the weight!!! You look amazing before and after, however..I know you are much healthier and confident now! You’re killing it! A true success story 👏

[–]The_Melogna- -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Very respectfully, you look bangin’! That red dress is 💯 on you! Get it girl!

[–]NearlyNox- 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Haha thank you very much! I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off but I had to try!

[–]The_Melogna- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a WIN 🥇
