Photo on left I was 230, photo on right I’m 197.
Wish i had a 250 pic but those are long gone lol. However the 230 pic was in February, I’ve gone through a lot of ups and downs and finally have kinda found something that works for me. It’s not much but there’s def a little difference

I recently reached the alarming milestone of 120kg. I've been obese for almost all of my life but a few years ago (mainly due to financial issues) I had become what I'd call skinny for the first time in my adult life, most likely around 80-90kg. That was the first time in my life that I felt attractive to anyone and managed to get my first girlfriend. Without really noticing I slowly fattened myself back up to around 100kg whilst in this relationship and when that ended I had the realization that I'd gotten fat again and went on a diet making good progress, managing to briefly drop down to 89kg which I was fairly happy with. I've struggled with my mental health for several months since then and used food to distract myself ending up where I am now at over 120kg. I've been doing much better recently and feel ready to get back on track. I would love to be happy in my body and feel attractive again.

I've tried to start dieting again recently but haven't made progress so I'm going to try posting here monthly (minimum) with the goal of keeping me accountable and prove to myself that it's possible.

Here is the beginning of my life no more excuses why I can start. Here is to be coming a better ME, Husband, and Father. 08/26/2026

First time posting something like this but wanted to show off my progress! *edit* it took me 6 years to get here first picture is 2020 second picture is 2026. But I really made most of my progress in the past 3 years.

Old and fat and hoping to actually make progress.

The first pic is me now, the second is a year ago. I feel like I've come a long way since I started. I've had my ups and downs with weight loss, but seems to be keeping it more stable. Still need to put more effort in, need the motivation.

I have had bariatric surgery, skin removal (tummy tuck, extended panniculectomy and gynecomastia).

I hit 220lb as my weight loss goal. My new goal is gaining muscle/ getting strong.

Slow and steadily it starting to come off. Looking back at June I'm glad I started this journey.
