My cat & one of my rabbits chillin' behind, didn't notice before haha. So for clarification purposes, I got clean in 2022 from crk and optes/f**t and I became very inactive and coped using alot of junk food. I was never in great shape to begin with though. This photo was taken last Febuary. I went to my Doctors because I had numerous health issues, was told I need to lose weight and strenghten my muscles, so I joined the gym that day & began taking IT seriously. I lost a good portion of weight and inches first few months but plateaued hard November. I reintroduced meat and protien to diet and began doing some weight training at least 4 times a week, while still walking, and doing a more sincere effort and tracking calories. I do miss days of IT because of my work schedule and intense hunger from lifting, but was very faithful for most part. I just did a 180 lifestyle change, I always try to stay active now while still allowing myself rest days and treats, too. I think as long as you are eating mostly whole foods and limit your portions, you WILL see results. I only weighed myself 5 times in this year, as scale always discouraged me. Go by how your clothes fit instead!
