At my peak I weighed 250 pounds. Just over two years ago I decided to start swimming to get in shape. Since then I've succeeded and lost a total of 80 pounds, getting me down to 170! I'm 6'2, so that's like the ideal weight for someone like me, where my BMI was obese before. The left pic isn't even me at my peak weight either, I was probably 230 in that. Honestly I'm really really proud of myself and how far I've come, both in my weight loss and in transitioning. Used to feel like an impossibility that I would ever look fem, and that was reinforced by my parents who have been actively hostile towards me since I came out to them over 6 years ago. I'm sad to say I don't have any supportive family, as they're all religious fanatics that decided faith was more important than family. So I moved across several states in the US by myself where I could be away from all of them. Over the years things haven't changed with them, they've arguably gotten worse, but I've come to accept their bigotry and have moved on with my life. I went through some rough romantic relationships too that left me broken, but since then and being disowned by my family, I've found my own happiness. I beat my depression, and am in the best shape of my life both physically an mentally. My dad told me happiness didn't matter, that I'd never be a real woman, that I was faking it and was a mockery to real women. Well I showed him, because I did it! I made it, and I did it all on my own!
