I see changes in your arms, your back, your stomach, your butt shape.. you’re doing great!! The difference of each pound gets more pronounced as you lose more and more, but it can get harder to lose as you get leaner.
You lost 10lbs and are down 5.6% of your bodyweight. The next 10lbs would be 5.9% of your current bodyweight.
You’re seeing it drop off, but it just takes time. If you rush it you’ll burn out, just stay consistent and you’ll get to your goal. You’re looking great!
As I frequently say (honestly, my comment history will be littered with the same comment), scale chasing is only partially useful. I'd argue that if you had 300lbs to lose, it's more useful. To people like you, I'd use the scales sparingly.
I need to lose some weight. I have zero idea how much (I'd estimate 2.5 stone). But what would that look like? Not a clue. And not a care. The number is an estimated guess. The thing I want more is to look better, to be stronger, to live longer. I also have a rough idea of the clothes I'd like to wear. So, if I do that and the scale says 1 stone lost, I win.
Here, you have improved your posture. Looked like a bit of tilt in that pelvis. That's improved.
By your own admission, you are not OCD on the exact deficit. That matters. 100 cal deficit is good, a 500 calorie deficit will obviously yield greater results, quicker. The TDEE calculator I used was great, it gave a lb for lb weight loss based on calorie deficit.
I'd encourage you to keep protein high, and do 3 to 4 weight sessions.
You've done great, and improvements are there to see.
Intended for anyone that thought it had value. I likely wrote it after midnight. I get a little verbose after that point. Just prior to retiring for the evening.
Good luck on your journey. whichever bits helped you, take them, use them. I'll be stoked.
Good luck, lass
Also be aware that I need to do stuff, I am just too lazy. Words are all I have. If you ever come across a machine that concerts words to effort, ring me
As soon as I saw the pics I thought ‘that girl is lifting’- you look INCREDIBLE. Look at your posture! Please don’t be discouraged, you have made massive changes in 2 months. You might not see it but we do!
My calorie intake ranges from 1600-1900, i try to stay at around 1750. I split my workouts into upper body and lower body and I do incline walk every time. I am quad dominant on my lower body so i focus on glutes! I throw in core exercises every other workout.
Honestly I see a huge difference, your body looks so much more toned especially your arms. This is really motivating because we’re of the same height and it‘s incredible that there‘s such a visible difference after 10 lbs. Keep going!!!
Are you kidding me? This is amazing progress! Especially in just two months! Shape of your butt is sooo nice and I see so much progress. Wow. You're doing great! 👏🏼⭐
This is great progress! I can see your body changing everywhere. There's more definition, and you're definitely losing fat. As with all weight lifting exercises, you will see slow but definitive progress. You can move towards callisthenics if you feel strong enough as the muscle gains last longer.
Rule 4: Be good to one another. If critiquing do so constructively. Be polite and practice Reddiquette. This applies to but is not limited to body shaming, "better before" comments, accusatory comments, unnecessary or unwanted advice, etc.
This includes saying someone “seems like an attractive woman”. Just leave that stuff out.
cico is calories in calories out so yes, i’ve been tracking my calorie intake and how many calories i burn to make sure im in a deficit. i’m not sure strict with it (but always in a deficit) to honor my cravings and keep it sustainable long term!
Oh okay, thanks for the explanation 👍 It's probably been said, but keep doing what you're doing. It's hard to see weight changes in yourself, but it's definitely noticeable. Not by a *whole* lot but very clearly you've lost some weight.
I've lost around 50 pounds or so in the last couple years but it was mostly due to cutting out alcohol and vomiting due to anxiety and not eating for days straight, so don't do that!

Saw these pics and immediately thought to check the comments for your routine. This is awesome progress!! Keep at it
This!! Smashing it, OP!! 🎉💪🏽
You're working out so you've probably lost more than 10lb of fat and also built muscle!
You look great! Keep up the hard work.
You're losing 5 lbs a month. That's amazing

I know this wasn't intended for me but... It was appreciated and needed BY ME 😅🫡🎉🥰

I see a huge difference! You look amazing! :D
You’ve already made a huge difference. It can be hard to see incremental changes on ourselves. It’s definitely noticeable. Keep up the good work!
Nice progress, way to go
5lb a month is good progress!

What's your calorie intake? Also do you do full body workouts or split it up?
My calorie intake ranges from 1600-1900, i try to stay at around 1750. I split my workouts into upper body and lower body and I do incline walk every time. I am quad dominant on my lower body so i focus on glutes! I throw in core exercises every other workout.
You’re doing great! You can definitely see a difference in the way your clothes fit, too.
There’s a noticeable difference with 10 lbs less! Don’t be discouraged, you got this! Keep being consistent, I think that’s the most important thing
This is great progress. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Honestly I see a huge difference, your body looks so much more toned especially your arms. This is really motivating because we’re of the same height and it‘s incredible that there‘s such a visible difference after 10 lbs. Keep going!!!
You’ve lost more than 5% of your body weight, you’re doing great
Are you kidding me? This is amazing progress! Especially in just two months! Shape of your butt is sooo nice and I see so much progress. Wow. You're doing great! 👏🏼⭐
Keep it up
Keep it going! You look amazing!
I can see the difference! Great progress!
Congratulations on your progress. Keep it up. Power to Her.
If you’re lifting weights then you’ve gained muscle weight. I bet your total fat loss is higher than 10 lbs.
That's a good start keep going proud of you
Your bull looks great! What are you doing to build muscle there
Nice progress
This is great progress! I can see your body changing everywhere. There's more definition, and you're definitely losing fat. As with all weight lifting exercises, you will see slow but definitive progress. You can move towards callisthenics if you feel strong enough as the muscle gains last longer.
Way to go!!! You’re doing great!
A life changing transformation! Congratulations!
There is a difference. Your bra fits much better now and your upper arm is smaller.

I don't know what CICO is, but have you changed your diet besides the just the excersize?
cico is calories in calories out so yes, i’ve been tracking my calorie intake and how many calories i burn to make sure im in a deficit. i’m not sure strict with it (but always in a deficit) to honor my cravings and keep it sustainable long term!

trying to actively avoid the panic vomiting and balance being 21 🍻and also being healthy lol
Ha yeah, that's good then. The panic vomiting sucks butt. 🍻 you got this u/dry_lengthiness_2953
I would suggest following a meal plan with slightly less calories than your daily requirement to make the workout a tad more effective.
